• Halo Wars 2 Hands-On: Expect the Unexpected

  19-10-2016 22:40
  
  For the first time since Halo 3: ODST in 2009, I don’t know what to expect from a new Halo game. Halo 5 had its narrative surprises, of course, but in the end it was still a strong, impressive shooter with great co-op, fantastic multiplayer, and all the bells and whistles that come with Microsoft’s flagship title. It was the Halo we know and expect.
  Halo Wars 2 has the freedom to try something else.
  By the time it launches in February 2017, there will be eight years of distance betwe

  19-10-2016 22:15
  
  The Overwatch community is in a bit of a huff today over the outcome, or lack thereof, of a Blizzard-designed Alternate Reality Game (ARG) presumably designed to tease the release of the team-shooter's next character, Sombra.
  The custom website at the center of it all, amomentincrime.com, had been displaying a slowly filling progress bar, and seeing as Blizzard has been dropping hints about Sombra for months now, many presumed that when the bar hit 100%, the secretive hacker would finally make h

That's changing this November, with the release of Amnesia: Collection on PlayStation 4.

• How does the PlayStation VR launch lineup stack up against the PS4, Xbox One and Wii U?

  19-10-2016 00:43 via news.yahoo.com
  
  The launch lineup of the PlayStation VR snuck up on me. I’m not sure how it happened — I’ve been covering the device since E3 2014, back when a VR shark encounter was the best of what Sony had to offer. Two years later, I’m now finding it difficult to remember the last time a console had such a compelling collection of software on day one. In order to illustrate this point, I thought we’d go back a few years and reexamine the launch lineups of the PlayStation 4, Xbo
