I really like a lot of what they’re aiming for with Helix, but I’ve got two big worries: the price and, honestly, even more than that, the stability of the OS. Consoles thrive because they “just work,” and because they’re cheaper and simpler than PC gaming. That’s been the whole appeal for...

I've always enjoyed simple hack and slash over the move complex combo-focused games. I suppose it has a lot to do with me mostly playing casual "fighting" games and never really getting into the more competitive side of things.

They really should have made OW2 a large update to Overwatch and then just did the mobile game. I don't even know what they can do to revive OW2 (well, I guess we are back to the OG Overwatch name again) at this point, as all the hype and momentum is gone. Probably a series a masive content...

It does look pretty good. I'm glad they are trying something new and not just outsourcing the brand to NetEase or some other mobile company.

TL;DR: Blizzard announced Overwatch Rush, a standalone, top-down hero shooter built specifically for mobile by a separate internal team (not a scaled-down port), while Team 4 continues to support the main Overwatch. Early footage shows 5v5 matches with dual-sided touch controls and familiar...

It looks a bit janky, but it also looks like it could be quite fun and worth a try.

I don't know why, but some of the scenes of the trailer looked like N64 graphics. Granted, I have yet to play it.

TL;DR: Season 4 "Full Spectrum Bash" pivots FragPunk toward PvE with the Pigment Realm, a roguelike mode where cards are looted into an active backpack, drawn via Crystals, and can be synthesized (three-of-a-kind) or paired with periodic Blessings for on-the-fly builds. Maps unlock using...

I’m honestly glad to see Reddit finally get a real competitor, and I genuinely hope Digg finds its footing this time around. More options are always good for users. That said, I’m not a huge fan of the layout right now. It feels like they’re trying to squeeze the depth of a full forum into...

It does appear to be offering a lot. And player feedback appears high.

TL;DR: Season 26 (Patch 12.00, Jan. 7) adds the Bandit, a 600-credit precision sidearm that slots between the Ghost and Sheriff—8+24 rounds, 1.5s reload, 0.75s equip, medium wall penetration, one-headshot kill vs light shields—designed to reward accuracy, enable lighter buys, and offer more...

I played RuneScape a lot, and we had a pretty big group that played together. Most of us, as kids, did not have PCs able to run WoW, so RuneScape was our MMO. Today, I have jumped on OSRS from time to time; a few friends still play it, but I never got much into it after they reset all the...

I get what you’re saying, but it’s not really “slamming jargon together.” The loudness war is a mastering issue, but the whole point is that the choices made during mastering absolutely affect the final audio quality. You can make something louder without wrecking the dynamics, but a lot of...

I’d have to politely disagree here. When you start pushing everything, treble, bass, and overall levels, to the max during mastering, it absolutely impacts the audio quality. Even if the goal is just to make the track louder, the side effect is losing dynamic range and introducing distortion or...
