• Mirror's Edge Catalyst Review

  06-06-2016 18:00
  
  I consider myself one of the original Mirror’s Edge’s biggest fans. The 2008 first-person parkour platformer struck me as bold as it was beautiful, and it remains a game I revisit every year or so. In fact, I was so excited for its revival I actually cheered when Mirror’s Edge Catalyst was confirmed by EA. It’s one of the biggest letdowns of my gaming life, then, that playing through this half-prequel, half-reboot was an exercise in enthusiasm-draining disappointment. Cat

• Blizzard Accidentally Made Its Overwatch Animation Anticlimactic

  There's something iffy about Blizzard's latest Overwatch animation video, tucked away in some odd Japanese calligraphy.
  Read literally, a scroll Hanzo kneels in front of says "dragon head, snake tail," which makes sense given some of the iconography in the trailer.
  However, according to Afternoon News (thanks Kotaku), Japanese speakers don't read the four Kanji characters on the scroll literally, as Blizzard had perhaps intended. Instead, they form an idiom meaning "anticlimax."

  06-06-2016 05:56
  
  It’s Infinity Ward’s turn to release a Call of Duty (CoD) game this year; the first for the dev in the series' newish three-year development cycle. The rotating roster means that it’s following Treyarch’s Black Ops III, which in turn followed Sledgehammer Games’ Advanced Warfare from 2014. The trick, though, is that Infinity Ward’s last game was Call of Duty: Ghosts.
  Ghosts wasn’t particularly well received by fans and the fact that Infinity Ward’s
