Long-time Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan stunned many by announcing that he has decided to leave Blizzard after almost 20 years with the company. “I am leaving Blizzard Entertainment after 19 amazing years,” writes Kaplan in a brief farewell letter. “It was truly the honor of a lifetime to have the opportunity to create worlds and heroes for such a passionate audience. I want to express my deep appreciation to everyone at Blizzard who supported our games, our game teams, and our players....

While many Overwatch fans are waiting with bated breath for the sequel’s BlizzCon showing, others have been showing off their creativity. One Overwatch fan named Zibartas has been hard at work finishing his gender-bent Mercy cosplay, sharing the final design on his Twitter. The Danish-based costume-maker shared his functional Mercy Wings back in August, with the wings made of pure steel and aluminum. Making a surprisingly terrifying sound when activated, the wings look amazing, fully enhanced by ultra-bright LED lights....

Professional gamers are better players than the rest of us. They have to be to justify earning a salary doing something that they would love doing anyway without pay (until they no longer love doing it, at least.) In turn, pro gamers are allotted time and resources unavailable to the general public in order to ensure they can reach and maintain the highest level of play. Pros naturally become leading authorities on their game of choice, having dedicated inordinate amounts of time relative to casual gaming habits to improving their skill level....

The kaiju movie genre is alive and well nowadays, with big budget films like Godzilla vs. Kong on their way (and intimidating even in LEGO form) and plenty more to follow. It wasn’t that long ago, though, that the genre was seen as a risky one by film studios and was struggling to find a footing. That all changed when Pacific Rim surged onto the big screens in 2013 to wild acclaim, setting in motion the revival of kaiju movies across the globe....

8 Sniper Health: 40 Headshot Multiplier: 2 Snipers are the easiest special enemies to take care of and are as much of an annoyance as a fly trapped in a room. Thankfully, snipers are a lot easier to swat than flies. Snipers are easy to pick out from the chaotic scenes of a heist, thanks to their red laser sights. All you need to do to eliminate a pesky sniper is trace the laser back to its origin and fire upon the snipers, who have very little health....

Grand Theft Auto PC gamers have run in to a roadblock. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition has been unable to launch for several days for some users, all because of a new error code.

The Mortal Kombat 11 release date was just yesterday, and it has certainly been a controversial launch. While Mortal Kombat 11 reviews have been quite positive, players have been taking major issue with the game’s excessively grindy approach to progression. For those may now be hesitant to pickup a copy of NetherRealm Studios’ newest fighting game, after hearing these reactions, a new deal could convince them to take the plunge....

It might be a long time (if ever) until we truly find out how much money Disney’s new live-action adaptation of Mulan has made. While the $200 million film is being released in theaters in some countries—most notably, second largest box office in the world China—it has and will be released solely as a VOD title via Disney+ in many markets, including the United States, which, pre-pandemic, was the largest box office in the world....

For all the anticipation that’s gathered around The Last of Us since its reveal at the 2011 Spike VGA’s, it’s worth noting that nearly every iota is a product of the single-player campaign. Whether it’s the tenuously intimate relationship between Joel and Ellie, surviving the brutality and frugality of a post-apocalyptic world, or simply smashing in faces with a jagged-edged 2X4, it’s been the story of Naughty Dog’s latest adventure that’s come to captivate many fans....

Need for Speed developer Ghost Games confirms that this year’s entry in the series will not feature an always online requirement. 2015’s Need for Speed reboot required an Internet connection to play, much to fans’ frustration.

Our quick take New Super Mario Bros U (for Wii U) - 4.5 / 5 1998 revisited: Side-scrolling simplicity Nostalgic novelty: So what’s new? Difficulty To recap Plumbers, mushrooms and a pink-dressed princess. Sounds like a great night in.

Despite the fans playing the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta, streamer NICKMERCs, and his friend Swagg, simply can’t bring themselves to play it. Instead, they spent their time playing Warzone and discussing why they both didn’t stream the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta.

They work for Victor, played by Game of Thrones’ Alfie Allen, who set the stage for a changing of the guard in one nocturnal mission.

Streamers–especially big-time streamers like Ninja–have to deal with an extra-challenging situation whenever they stream their games. Anyone can just look at their stream to know exactly where the streamer is and what they’re doing in real-time. This makes it easy to set up ambushes or target a particular streamer for assassination-style kills. It’s called stream-sniping, and it’s something that Ninja has gotten used to over the years, but in a Fortnite game from last week, it looks like it might have finally gotten to him....
