The director of Overwatch was asked about the possibility of a port of the game on the Nintendo Switch . He didn't seem positive but didn't rule it out entirely either. It's entirely possible that Blizzard is waiting for the Switch to ship more units before making a decision on a port, as it already takes them a lot of resources to update the numerous versions of the g
After a busy month of post-holiday catch-up as well as enjoying the full Portal 2 co-op campaign with a friend who is a little behind on the video game release schedule, I'm finally able to... do more catch-up. Much like in January, for the majority of this month I'll be continuing to quest in Skyrim - that is until one of my favorite game franchises returns with a second (well, version 1.5 type sequel) installment. The original (and notoriously underplayed) Alan Wake is still one of my favorite games of this generation - and I can't wait to journey back into the night for Alan Wake's American Nightmare . That said, in between Alan Wake and Skyrim play sessions, I'll one again be testing my virtual mettle on the SSX slopes. I spent a lot of hours perfecting my runs in SSX: Tricky and factnew.Com am eager, and hopeful, that the SSX reboot will deliver the same challenge and highflying
Today the organizers of the 17th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards announced via press release the list of nominations for the ceremony, that will be held on Wednesday, March 1st at San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center during the 2017 Game Developers Confere
One of Hanzo's most useful attributes in Overwatch is the fact that he doesn't need to reload. He can use an infinite amount of arrows in a match and never has to worry about stopping to reload. The tradeoff for this is that he has to pull the arrow back in order to increase its power, which slows his movement speed down to a crawl. A fully charged Hanzo arrow is a deadly thing, however, as a headshot from it can kill most characters in a single
On Route 66, the attacking team is now given 60 additional seconds after pushing the payload to the first checkpoint.

In an update on Battle.net, Blizzard has provided the latest patch notes and updates for Overwatch , with the main highlight for the week being the addition of Orisa, the game's newest Hero. In addition to Orisa's debut in the game (after several weeks of testing on the game's PTR server), Blizzard also introduced various other updates and changes to the game for specific characters, such as Ana, Bastion, Junkrat, and m
The awards ceremony will be hosted once more by Double Fine Productions Founder Tim Schafer, and will as usual be paired with the Independent Games Festival Award. Both will be aired on Twitch for everyone to
D.Va's ultimate is still powerful, but has always been quiet easy to avoid. Mobile characters and those with shields can usually withstand the blast. Especially now, with her health pool effectively lowered, many D.Va ultimates are forced out by getting her out of her mech. She's still a good character, and likely won't net you boos from your teammates, but no longer deserves that top-tier status she held before she was chan
Aside from that, Kingdom’s of Amalur’s trash talking has me wanting to play the game for a brand new reason. I’ve got a fighting thirst that I want to quench with Soul Calibur V and UFC Unleashed 3 , and I still haven’t given up on Syndicate tossing together a solid FPS experience. I’m gonna go ahead and toss in Skyrim too because let’s face it, I don’t know if I’ll finish that monster by this time next y
Torbjörn's armor packs are a good way to support a team, but they come at the cost of regular, reliant damage. His effective use is relegated to defense and niche payload maps, and many people will groan if they see him picked in competitive. Torbjörn, perhaps, suffers from the perceived weaknesses of his kit rather than his actual capabilities, but perception is half the battle Blizzard is fight
