This December my gaming focus is squarely centered on the PS3 versions Skyrim and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations . I still have yet to give Arkham City a whirl, but it is on my short list to play. On the PC front I’m still playing Deux Ex: Human Revolution . What can I say? I’m a perfectionist, and it’s a great game. Racing games have never been my forte but Forza Motorsport 4 will be the next game I purchase as I try to broaden my horizons a bit. However, I’m still itching with anticipation for Mass Effect 3 , and wonder how many play-throughs of ME2 I can manage before I get my conditions “just right.” Stay safe during the holidays Rant
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
In this regard, gambling on Twitch has long been a Source Engine Mod of disagreement, with some of the largest streamers on the platform leaning heavily into controversial sponsored gambling streams. This long-standing issue recently reached a boiling point, leading to most forms of gambling content being banned from the site, but the previous gambling-related incidents that led to this point should not be igno
This expensive skin came out in 2014 alongside Operation Breakout. The cosmetic gives this already rare knife a bright paint job, coating it in vivid purples, reds, and yellows. As the name implies, these colors are faded into each other to give a spectrum of more subtle shades and h

Following intense subsequent pressure from the community on what was already a longstanding controversy, Twitch has banned most forms of gambling from the service , with the aforementioned crypto-gambling giant Stake.com being a named company that is no longer welcome on the streaming platform. This is enormous news for the company considering just how popular gambling streams are on the service, with streamers and fans on both sides of the argument continuing in intense deb
As for 2012, well, anyone who knows me well knows that I’m a Metro 2033 fanboy, so my most anticipated title is Metro: Last Light . I’m also a huge fan of Yakuza 3 meaning I’m stoked for Yakuza: Dead Souls , not to mention BioShock Infinite , Prey 2 , Alan Wake: Night Springs , Binary Domain , and Operation Raccoon City as my first Resident Evil game, not to mention I have a nice shiny PlayStation Vita First Edition bundle with my name on it. I also plan to play Mass Effect 3 but I’m trying to keep my hype meter low for that

Players familiar with the classic Counter-Strike formula will appreciate Valorant for its unique hero shooter spin. Valorant pins squads of heroes against each other in a futuristic narrative where the light itself becomes weaponized – alongside a wide variety of technological advanceme
The Twitch platform has been no stranger to controversy historically, with the wide-ranging avenues of entertainment that streamers engage in inevitably dredging up questions of morality and disagreements among the streaming giant’s viewers. As the platform has grown in recent years, so too has the frequency of large-scale controversies and the potential implications they could have on impressionable audien
Many players are using the skins’ demand and their rare drop rate to make a profit, and many of the cosmetics end up costing a fortune. Here are some of the most expensive skins found on the Steam community marketpla
Monkeys prove to be creative and clever, but they can have trouble showing this at times. They’ll be more suited for a first-person shooter like F.E.A.R. since they might not thrive in an online environm
December means three things for me: KOTOR , KOTOR 2 and The Old Republic, plus a possible co-op playthrough of Resistance 3 . I’m also hoping to catch up on some games I’ve missed such as Shadows of the Damned and Yakuza 4 , and this before I get to all of the games I bought off of Steam’s Fall S
If players have mouse buttons, then it is highly advisable for them to bind the “ping” input to one of these buttons, as this way, it will be easy and efficient to use. Without pinging (and especially without the verbal communication that doesn’t occur in most matches), it can be incredibly difficult for teammates to communicate with each other at all. Therefore, players should rely on this simple but essential way to guide the course of their team play throughout a round of Danger Zo
