DualShockers Game Of The Year Awards: The Case For Overwatch

With beautiful colors and lovable characters, Overwatch abandons the dark setting of most shooters for a fun, upbeat atmosphere. The characters feel alive as they speak to one another, with amusing comments arising when two copies of the same character meet each ot


[XB1, PS4] Bastion now takes 20% less damage while in Configuration: Sentry or Tank (formerly 35%)




_Developer Comments: After the last update, Bastion became a little too difficult to deal with, so we’re reducing his new passive to give enemies more opportunities to counter. _ Jun

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered had a tough job to complete. Not only did it have to match player’s nostalgic expectations, but also remain fun after nine years, and in some ways, it's successful. The campaign resonates today as much it did nine years ago, the Multiplayer is still a blast, and the visual overhaul is the best any remaster has ever received. What Raven has accomplished is impressive, but it has its limits. Their strict dedication to not tampering with the original formula means that the flaws from 2007 are clearly visible. Issues that were fixed in later Call of Duty titles are left unchecked in Modern Warfare Remastered, and it can drag the experience down. In the end, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is a solid remaster that enhances the original game with beautiful new visuals and a little bit of extra multiplayer content, but Raven Software may have stuck to the original a little too much. A few tweaks would have gone a long way to fixing some balancing issues, but for those looking for a blast from the past, this works just fine


Blizzard Entertainment released patch notes and information on a new update that is now available in the game's Public Test Region on PC. Specifically, the new update addresses some balance changes with certain Heroes, such as Roadhog's hook being a bit more balanced, while Ana, D.Va, and Sombra also have some changes in p


Blizzard has specified though that Orisa will not be available in Competitive Mode until next week, to allow players to become accustomed to her moveset "before she's placed into the crucible of Competitive Play." However, until her addition then, Orisa will be available in the fps game story guide's Quick Play, Arcade, and Play vs. AI mo

Voting started on December 24th, and ended on January 21st. Each voter was asked to give ten preferences in order, with the first game scoring four points, second and third scoring three, ranks from four to six scoring two points, and the rest only one. Two honorable mentions were also allowed, but scored no points.

If there’s one thing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered proves it’s how to remaster a game's visuals properly. Modern Warfare Remastered is the most extensive visual upgrade any remaster has ever received yet, being more in line with a remake than an actual remaster. Character models and textures have been completely redone, the lighting engine has been replaced, and the environments have been overhauled to show extra details. An empty street and field in the training mission is now littered with tanks, soldiers jogging, jets flying overhead, and even the addition of a grenade training playground. It’s a stunning overhaul, and Modern Warfare Remastered raises the bar for all future remasters.


Overwatch didn't even really register on my radar until a few months before its release. I'm someone that generally sticks to playing mostly single-player titles: if I do pickup a multiplayer game, it's usually for only a few months at most before I either move on to something else or gradually lose my interest. However, the videos I'd watched and previews I'd read prior to Overwatch 's release grabbed my curiosity: once I had my hands on the game's open beta right before launch, I was officially hooked and it had my attent

_Developer Comments: Ana’s kit has several strong components, which makes her difficult to replace. Reducing her damage output will make her less threatening on attack and reduce her dueling capabilities. _ Bas

Multiple difficulties and an entertaining array of weapons allow both casual and hardcore gamers to enjoy Fallout 3 . If you’re looking for an even more realistic, difficult challenge, Fallout 4 includes a Survival mode in which players must eat, drink, and sleep regularly in order to survive and save their file. However, Fallout 4 lacks the excellent story, bleak yet beautiful landscape, and vulnerable allies which make Fallout 3 such a thrilling world to expl
