• I suck at Overwatch but I was dominating with new hero Doctrine, so I smell a nerf coming

  18-09-2026 21:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Whenever I play Overwatch with my friends and actually contribute to our success, I'm treated like a child who's 'helping' his parents put away groceries and manages to put the cheese in the right fridge drawer for a change. In short, I suck.Even when I'm in the zone as my main man, Reinhardt, I'm not sure I've ever gotten MVP in the hundreds of matches I've played over the years. It was to my great surprise, then, that I found myself dominating as new support hero Doctrine over the weekend at B

• Should You Play Casual Or Classic Mode In Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave?

  18-09-2026 19:31 via gamespot.com
  
  As a series, Fire Emblem has had two standout features compared to other tactical RPGs. First, characters can build relationships with their allies, and in more recent entries, even become romantically involved. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave doesn't focus on the seduction side at all, preferring to show the camaraderie between teammates. The second feature, one that's been there since the first NES game, is that characters can permanently perish in combat.

• I wanted to adore the Epomaker GX1 headset, but its tinny sound and middling software put a stop to our audio love affair

  The Epomaker GX1 is the first time the brand has tried its hand at making a headset, and I think it needed more on the design chopping block.I went into testing the GX1 hoping it'd end up on our best gaming headsets list, primarily as I was a fan of its stylish looks (at least where the white version provided for this review is concerned) and for the fact it provides an open-back form factor at a cheap $49.99 / £45.99. Something that's pretty much unheard of with other brands, Epomaker was

  18-09-2026 19:00 via gamespot.com
  
  The lowest price that Resident Evil Village, with all of its DLC included, has reached is $14.99 on Steam. Considering it’s one of the best horror games in the world, let alone the franchise itself, that’s already a steal.
