The disrespect of Heroes of the Storm at BlizzConline was a little much

This game still exists, and it’s still fantastic I still play and loveHeroes of the Storm. It might be very low on Blizzard’s priority list right now, but the framework is still there, and it still plays like one of the most accessible MOBAs ever made. That much hasn’t changed. The content cadence may have slowed down (and one of the game’s leads may have left recently to work onDiablo IV), but it’s still very much worth getting into, even now....

Vita game Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen looks intense

I only got a small, early taste ofShinobido 2: Revenge of Zenearlier this around E3 year, so it was hard to see where Acquire was going with this Japanese stealth/action title.

Yes! Hilarious Jazzpunk coming to PS4 with new Quake-spoof multiplayer mode

Wedding Qake! Jazzpunkcame out almost two years ago, butI still think about it a lot. The “modernist Cold War cyberpunk game” is one of the rare examples of a legitimately funny game and I’m hoping it can get a new life in the just announced, upcomingPS4 version. If you like surrealist humor, it is perfect for you. There are some secret additions to the single-player, but perhaps the biggest change is expanding the “Wedding Qake” minigame — a “full-on parody of multiplayer old school deathmatch games likeUnreal Tournament, Goldeneye, andQuake 3 Arena” — into a full, four player splitscreen multiplayer mode, “featuring unlockable characters, new levels, and fresh implements of devastating MATRIMONY....
