The competitive multiplayer game market spans nearly every genre, from shooters like Call of Duty to puzzle games like Tetris 99 . Games like Fortnite and Mario Kart pride themselves on being accessible and fun for people of all ages and skill levels. They’re easy to get into, and often simple to pick up and gain basic mastery. However, many games in this massive genre suffer from the oppos
It wouldn’t be until November 18, 2022, that the map would be added to the official Valve active map pool, replacing the iconic Dust II. Immediately the player base voiced its confusion and apprehension as while the map received initial positive feedback it went through many changes and issues were highlighted throughout this time. As it is now Anubis has a long way to go before it is fully mastered and players can truly form an opinion on the potential of the
Generally, players will want to go for these because of the advantage that the overpowered weapons give them. For example, a player with an AUG assault rifle is easily able to win a fight at long range over another player holding a P90. Although it can be risky for players to leave the comfort of their hexagon and try and loot these crates, it is surely worth it for the competitive edge that it gi
Who says there are no good games released in December? Mario Kart 7 , Nintendo’s latest entry into it’s iconic racing franchise is coming this year, and it’s coming to a 3DS. What better way to ignore family at those tedious holiday get togethers than by racing down Rainbow Road? Still not sold? Well maybe you should check out our Mario Kart 7 review to see why this is one of the 3DS’ hottest tit
Originally a Counter-Strike 1.1 map created by Chris “Narby” Auty and introduced on June 27th, 1999, Vertigo was a surprising addition to the map pool when it was added. On March 28th, 2019, the map was added to the active map pool in place of fan-favorite Cache as the map underwent renovations. This was surprising, but not all that unexpected. Up to this point, the player base was expecting a lot of the older maps to receive facelifts and come back better than ever, but few expected Cache’s replacement to be Vert
What started as a Counter-Strike 2 Dlc 1.6 community map called de_cpl_strike created by Michael “BubkeZ” Hull, would eventually become the de_mirage known today when it was altered in 2004. Valve would later remake the map for the launch of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . This version has been featured in every CS:GO Major Championships to date and has consistently been in the top 5 most played maps in both casual and professional play since 2
The task of reaching a bomb site and planting the bomb successfully can be quite daunting as a Terrorist. There are multiple ways of how to approach a bomb site, and a lot depends upon the players’ playstyle along with the
I’ll definitely be playing Minecraft now that it has officially released, Rob and I will probably do a few more recording sessions with the game. I’ll also be attempting to play through Gears of War 3 on ‘Insane’ difficulty in order to get those exclusive ‘Impossible Mission’ sk
Weapons sway more when aimed down sights, making even simple shots hard to pull off, and the map is filled with sound traps that reveal positions to other teams in a heartbeat. The overall flow and strategy of Hunt make it one of the hardest yet most satisfying games for newcomers to le
With Black Friday over, I can now say that I’m looking forward to stabbing into Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and Rayman: Origins which I picked up during the holiday hustle. I’m also almost finished with my second play through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is showing me just how many different ways there are to go through that game. I’m also going to grind out some more trophies for Uncharted 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Reco
The headshot percentage will be significantly low, and overall climbing will become more difficult. Along with learning recoil control, getting down the right crosshair placement should be the main objective for any pla
Oh, December. The month when I despair of ever playing all of the games I missed during November. The only new game on my radar for the rest of the year is Mario Kart 7 . Otherwise, it’s all about catching-up. Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Forza Motorsport 4, and Kinect Sports Season 2 continue to be the go-to games in my house, but Rayman: Origins and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword top the list of games I can’t wait to get lost in over the holidays. I’m also really liking what I’ve seen of the new SSX — if I could play any of next year’s games right now, that would be the
It was a busy November for me and I had little time to play games outside of Modern Warfare 3 . December will be a different story since I will be spending a lot of time with my new Zelda 25th Anniversary 3DS. Mario Kart 7 will be my first purchase for the handheld and it will be a title that will tide me over until Nintendo decides to full-fill my Skyward Sword bundle pre-order. In the new year I’m looking forward to Diablo 3 and of course Mass Effect 3 . There are going to be a lot of lengthy games in my fut
