You may have seenSteven Hansen’sname here on the front page every now and then; he does a wonderful job covering some reviews and San Francisco previews. In these few months I’ve known him, however, I’ve seen a side of him, a darker side: He’s a hoarder. To satisfy his constant eating habits (though he is impressively fit), Steven is constantly filling his home with more, and more food. Hang in there, Steven, we’re there for you....

Check out her kit before the beta next week It’s wild to think that we were talking about Junker Queen in the originalOverwatchfive years ago— where has the time gone? With the sequel coming into focus and trying its best to justify itself (now as a free-to-play, battle-pass-powered game), the long-time-coming tank hero has stepped “out of the lore and into the light,” as Blizzard puts it. “Tanks play more aggressively inOverwatch 2,” and as one of the first new characters for the game’s Season 1 launch, Junker Queen has to exemplify that shift....

Honoring some of the best games of all time I think because games are still relatively new compared to other media, sometimes I don’t think of them as having much history. But now that we’re nearing fifty years of games as we know them today, preserving that history has become more important than ever, especially because the nature of games means it’s tragically easy to lose both functioning hardware and software as technology rapidly advances....

Microsoft purchase ‘changed platform plans’ [Update:Microsoft has responded to the reports that it canned a PS5 edition ofRedfallincomments to Eurogamer. “We haven’t pulled any games from PlayStation,” said an MS spokesperson. “In fact, we’ve expanded our footprint of games that we’ve shipped on Sony’s PlayStation since our acquisition of ZeniMax, and the first two games we shipped after closing were PlayStation 5 exclusives.

The Switch Pro is supposedly going to be revealed every week I have no doubt that Nintendo is working on the successor to the Switch as we speak. Whether that’s the “Switch Pro” or a “New Switch,” or whatever is actually after the Switch, is up for debate. But it’s getting very old seeing insider info from random Twitter accounts saying that we’ll see a Switch Pro announcement just about every week....

GoNNERhas been out for nearly a year on Steam, sothere’s plenty of information to peruseif you’re looking to pick it up....

The never ending saga of mobile games ripping off other titles has found a new victim withPushmofor the 3DS. The clone in this case is calledBlockShift, and the developer behind the project has even stated in the comments section on GoNintendo that he “was inspired by everything Intelligent Systems and Nintendo make.” The person behind the Android game isn’t chargingBlockShift, so while he’s not making a profit from it, he is still potentially harmingPushmosales....

The Killer Inside Dead by Daylightis set to receive some brand new content soon. “Chapter 10: Darkness Among Us” will be launching next week on December 11 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. For the first time in the game, the new killer is actually a human. The trick is that it will be difficult to identify him among your friends, which should lead to some ridiculous jump scape moments....

If you’ve played EA’s Dead Space, you know the sound design plays a big role in the overall scare factor.Our recent reviewpointed to how the sound effects really made the game. The man behind the sound desk was Don Veca, the audio director forDead Space. Original Sound Version scored an interview with Veca, where he detailed the whole audio process behind the science-fiction survival horror, from coding to recording techiques. Hell, they even recorded San Francisco’s BART train!...

ThoughDestiny 2is no stranger to mysteries both big and small, none of them have ever been quite as popular as the infamous 15th wish from theForsaken-era Last Wish raid. While some might’ve expected this particular narrative thread to never be fully untangled, Bungie’s just upended that theory. It should go without saying that this piece of news is loaded with spoilers for the Season of the Witch and its final, most important cutscene....
