Overwatch Beta

The Overwatch Beta has been out from May Fifth to May Tenth. After playing a couple of rounds of the Overwatch Beta (at least on the PS4's version) I can say that it has it's up's and down's.

Just to sum up what Overwatch is, it's a first person multiplayer shooter created by Blizzard Entertainment. The game offers for different game modes, the first being Assault, in which the attacking team has to try to capture two point's while the defending team has to prevent them from capturing the point's. Escort has the attacking team try to take their VIP, or payload to the other side of the map, while the defending team has to prevent them from escorting their VIP or payload. The third mode is a combination of Assault and Escort, in which the attacking team has to capture point's before being able to move their objective. The final game mode is Control, in which both team's have to compete for a control point until one team get's it to 100%. This would be played in a best of three.

There is a big number of playable character's that are put into four classes, Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. While the large number of playable characters is something that many people would enjoy, this may get boring after several matches, since there are not that many way's to play the character's in new and interesting way's. This may be biased, but I'm a gamer who has also played Team Fortress 2, which is similar to Overwatch, but there are different way's to play certain character's in the game, making it new and fresh every time.

Disney Cancels 'Infinity'

Disney recently revealed that they will be cancelling their 'Infinity' video game serious. According to engadget.com, Disney stated that "lower results" made this move. That can be analyzed that the games weren't selling well and were also expensive to produce. There will be two last releases before the games discontinue- one for Disney's new Alice movie and one for the new Finding Dory movie. Unfortunately, this also isn't the first time Disney's quit on the gaming world. Disney has been struggling financially for a good amount of time, but the games were a cute reflection on loved Disney movies. Do you think this will have any effect on people in the gaming world? Or do you think the games weren't played enough?

Over Powered Weapon's in Video Games. Part 2

Hello everyone! This is the second part of this series, in which I discus weapons that are over powered. Keep in mind that this is my opinion about the weapon's and if there are any weapon's that you think should be added, put it on the comment's below.

The Golden Gun from GoldenEye 007 from the Nintendo 64

If anyone has heard of GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64, they would know that this was the gun that would lead to the destruction of many friendship's. While this gun can only be found in one multiplayer map, and how you have to reload after every shot, this was a one-shot gun.

The BFG9000 from Doom

Now, if any one remember's Doom, you know that the Big Frikken Gun 9000 (can't say the name due to the profanity) is a gun that will destroy everything in the screen into oblivion!

Hearthstone, The Game That's on the Rise

               After being released worldwide on March 11, 2014, Hearthstone gained popularity day by day. It is a card game with interesting animations and extraordinary voice actors. Within days, it gets addicting and hooks a person. Although the game is free, many users buy the expansion packs and extra cards which add up to become a hefty amount of money. In just two years, it gained about 50 million players worldwide. This popularity is partly because it is part of another game, called Warcraft. The latest expansion pack called Whispers of the Old gods raised the worth of the company to $1.2 Billion. If you haven't checked it out, head on over to us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/ to learn more and download it if you want to. (It's pretty difficult to start off, but don't give up :) )

COD 4 Infinite Warfare

   After two years plus the new Call of Duty has been announced six months before release date with a trailer. For the past two years COD players have been wanting no, demanding a new COD with old features such as boots to the ground. For all gamers out there we have been disappointed yet again however, for those who do not know what this means, players have been able to fly in game for a decent amount of time and there would be recharge time until done once again. Gamers have said that they don't want to have a game where the player leaves the ground however, it seems that the producers do not listen and so they made a game where essentially players do not touch the ground as it will take place in space, the irony. However, the COD producers have decided to remaster, bring back, one old game in better graphics. 

COD Remastered

In 2007, Call of Duty 4 was released to the public and sold over 13 million copies. Now, this older loved and popular game is coming back. Recently confirmed is the new Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered. This game is the remaking of the older game, but including better graphics. The confirmation was given only two day ago, and gamers are excited for this new release. According to theverge.com, the game is being developed by Infinity Ward and will be included with the Legacy and Digital Deluxe editions of another to-be-released game, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Due to the older game's popularity, this new game is going to be really exciting and fun for fans of the Call of Duty games.
