The Oppo Find X6 is already shaping up to be an impressive addition to the company’s portfolio and now we’ve been treated to leaked protopype photos to whet the appetite. The photos don’t give us a great look at what we can expect when the Oppo Find X6 is finally made official, but we do get to at least get a glimpse of a couple of the things that had previously been rumoured....

In addition to introducing Ana, a new support-sniper character, Blizzard is bringing a series of major changes to existing Overwatch characters, such as Mercy, Zenyatta, and D.Va. Now that Overwatch’s competitive ranked play has been out for a few weeks, players have had more than enough time to work out all the ins and outs regarding how to play each of the game’s 21 heroes. While the current status quo may soon change as Blizzard has just revealed the first post-launch character, the support-sniper Ana, the developer is also bringing in a series of major changes to existing characters, something that will undoubtedly cause players have a rethink how to play certain heroes....

As the team behind Overwatch works towards developing its sequel, the original refreshment to the team-based shooter formula thrives with frequent support, content, and enthusiasm from both developer and player alike. Jeff Kaplan, the game’s lead designer, will be releasing a new system for testing in Overwatch’s PTR servers designed to alleviate long queue times for players willing to step outside their comfort zone. Originally introduced as the Priority Pass, the announcement easily produces a knee-jerk negative reaction in players familiar with pass progression systems in other games....

As Overwatch continues to be an absolute juggernaut for Blizzard, becoming the fastest growing franchise in company history, it has also managed to earn the company a lot of money as well. Part of that success comes from new cosmetic items coming to the game every so often in themed events, prompting players to try to acquire loot boxes for a chance to unlock new content. The most recent event, Uprising, not only added a number of cool skins for popular characters like Genji, but introduced a new PvE style mode which has proven to be a big hit with the fans....

Konami fans have had a really rough year. Thanks to the conflict between Konami’s star game developer, Hideo Kojima, and Konami itself, we’ve had to deal with the disbanding of Kojima Productions, as well as the cancellation of very exciting projects such as Silent Hills. One indie developer has recognized the desire of players to play a game like Silent Hills, and its precursor, P.T., and so they are forging ahead with a spiritual successor (of sorts) named Allison Road....

GTA 5 may be the don of organized crime titles, but until the game’s servers go live on October 1st, Payday 2 remains the biggest stick-up artist in town. Released back in August of this year, the one-time Left 4 Dead alumni is now blazing a trail of its very own, raking in more ill gotten cash than the casts of Heat & Point Break combined. The first-person co-op heist title has now sold in excess of one-and-a-half million copies, with a whopping 80% of sales arriving via digital download....

Warning: contains major season five spoilers. The very first image you see in Peaky Blinders season five is a lone green weed growing in a field of mud. In most dramas, that’d be a symbol of rebirth and recovery – a representation, say, of Tommy Shelby’s gradually returning conscience years after war blasted it to pieces. Peaky Blinders though, isn’t most dramas, and in the season finale, the symbol is revealed to have darker meaning....

We were convinced that when Rockstar Games unveiled the first gameplay trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5 last November that it meant the game was coming this year (read our GTAV release date theory and discussion).It even topped Game Rant’s most anticipated games of 2012 list. Why else would the trailer be revealed at that time, during such a crowded release schedule, right? After a no-show at E3 (Rockstar doesn’t come there much) and nothing at Gamescom, all was silent on the GTA front....

2020 has been a year of painful absences. As families across America debate the health risks in a Thanksgiving gathering this month, movie theaters - home to one of the most cherished indoor pastimes in the world - have remained shuttered since March, with no return in sight. When the COVID-19 outbreak reached the United States in Spring, theater chains shut their doors one by one, in a national effort to “flatten the curve” and minimize the spread of the deadliest virus in almost a century....

The fans of the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm games have been able to enjoy HD remasters of the original trilogy for a while now, as the games have been released on several different platforms over the years.

If police drama remains the bedrock of British TV commissions, with 2022 having welcomed crime series Karen Pirie, Marlow, Magpie Murders, The Responder, Sherwood and many more, broadcasters also gave us a glittering seam of new fantasy and horror.
