Overwatch is a brilliant game, but it is no secret that it could really use some work on a couple modes to really bolster the multiplayer modes. Well, worry no longer The long awaited competitive mode has now been added to the game, at least if you are a PC user The console version of the[...]

Viewers can provide input about the build as well as ask the show hosts for tips and suggestions on their own cosplay projects. In tonight's initial launch stream the team will start on their latest project to make a full set of armor based on a popular character from the hit game Overwatch by Blizzard Entertainment[...]

There are however pretty significant prejudice and social hurdles that do need to be overcome to stop them from being discouraged from participating in such a male dominated space. As if to paint that picture, we go to South Korea and Overwatch player Gegury (via PCGamesN) She is actually ranked #1 in the world at playing Zarya,[...]

Far away from E3's all encompassing gaze, Overwatch is still experiencing a huge community online I know, because I miss it so while I'm out in LA. And the game really is growing to huge numbers quickly Blizzard have announced that the game has now been experienced by 10 million players That is a lot for[...]

The Honest Trailer folks have done up an Honest Game Trailer for the new Blizzard game Overwatch Some of the points made in the trailer are very accurate… like the losing track of time while playing, how overpowered Bastian is and those damn escort carts are slow But the feedback on the game has been[...]

We'll keep an eye on cross-platform possibilities on the consoles. — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) June 4, 2016 Don't put your money on a PC and console cross play environment though Due to the unfair nature that comes with Controller vs Keyboard and mouse, it seems unlikely. @bickiya We have no plans for that Mixing mouse/keyboard and controller can have[...]

Overwatch is absolutely obliterating my free time at the moment It's consuming everything to other game time to even catching up on film and TV I really do think this game is special. It would seem I'm not alone either Blizzard have announced that 7 million people have been playing the game since launch, and that[...]

Yesterday I reported that Overwatch's Competitive Mode was getting delayed until mid to late July, from a previous June prediction. Well, throw that out now It seems someone on Blizzard's social media team got the wrong end of the stick The account has now issued a correction confirming the mode is indeed coming this month[...]

The competitive mode is on track] If you are like me, you have been playing a boat load of Overwatch I'm completely enamoured with the title. One thing that it could use is a Competitive Mode though, just to rack up the stakes and that is coming However, it would seem it's coming just a little[...]

It's rare, but beautiful when it happens. Overwatch is one such game Over the 20 hours or so that I've been playing the title, its proven itself to be one of the most effortlessly joyous and inventive titles I've played in a long time. It's hard to pinpoint what makes Overwatch so good as a starting point,[...]

I'm having a stellar time with Overwatch right now I've been playing it pretty hard the last two days, and I am all over the play and style it sports. One of the things that I am loving most though is the subtle bits of narrative and story that trickle through the maps and in game[...]

They've been really dun little bits, and despite a little bit of ribbing, it's been great for the industry. And he is back once again, this time with Lena Heady and Peter Dinklage to play Overwatch It's lovely and funny plus it's Overwatch, so you know, a definite win in that column. If you have a spare[...]

When I first heard about Overwatch, I was pretty jazzed The cinematics looked amazing as did the game play I've always loved the idea of playing as a superhero but found many of the games prior to this lacking But this had me excited enough that back in November I ordered the Collector's edition for[...]

Despite having probably the most SEO inspired video game name in the world, it also bears a rather striking resemblance to Blizzard's Overwatch Posted by imgur user rebir12, you can see a developer pitching the game, which actually seems to propose it as a mobile game That I would like to see. Take a look at the[...]

The Overwatch animated shorts have been a real joy to behold, containing portions of the universe's story that will be lost in the multiplayer focused game Then again, Blizzard's cinematic work has often been excellent, so perhaps this shouldn't be surprising. We now have the fourth in the series and while the others have often pitted one[...]

But Blizzard shouldn't worry too much about the drop in subscribers, with the Legion expansion only three months away and this little game called Overwatch coming out next week. How big is Overwatch? 9.7 Million players jumped in on the recent beta from over 190 countries 4.9 Billion minutes played over the short window that the[...]

I got a bit of a cryptic email from the folks at Blizzard / Overwatch telling me I should stop by Hollywood and Highland today starting at 10 A.M PST for an Overwatch surprise They also linked to the below twitter post. Overwatch kicks off on May 24th If anyone is in the area and plan[...]

I've really enjoyed the Overwatch shorts that have come out There have been two so far, and they really help flesh out the world in meaningful ways, which is important considering the game is just a multiplayer arena shooter. The third short has now hit, and it's pretty brilliant It features two characters, Hanzo and Genji,[...]

Don't cheat in Overwatch. Blizzard have decided to make that plainly apparent In a post online, Blizzard outlined that they are taking a zero tolerance standpoint on cheating in Overwatch If you are caught cheating even once, you are in for a perma-ban The post says: If a player is found to be cheating—or using hacks, bots,[...]

Most everything they put out is really great. That's why it's not surprising to find out that the Overwatch beta did gangbusters It hit 9.7 million users across al platforms, making it more popular than Destiny and The Divisions' own ones. And it deserves it I had a hell of a time in the beta, and I'm[...]

I hope you have been playing the Overwatch beta over the last few days It's excellent, and I really can't get enough of it. Thankfully, if you did miss out on that chance, there is still time Blizzard have announced, as is becoming common for betas, that it's being extended a day It will now run[...]

This is just a quick PSA. The Overwatch Early Access Beta is live now for those of you who pre-ordered the game before April 29th This is a pretty big deal, signalling how close we are to Blizzard's first IP in a long, long time If you did pre-order it, make sure you go look in[...]

Overwatch is starting a closed beta tomorrow for those who have pre-ordered the game, before going into a full open beta later in the week. Sounds about time for a trailer then Blizzard has just released this trailer where Winston explains just a smidge about the world and back story of Overwatch It also is just[...]

During PAX East, which happened this weekend, Blizzard were running an Overwatch promotion with Uber It was called Uberwatch, and had special souped up cars ferrying con goers from hotels to the convention centre Even the drivers were in cosplay. Well, things took an unfortunate turn last night during PAX's close As reported by Gearbox president,[...]

Beyond that? It's pretty much shrouded in mystery. Well, this new video from Gamespot, the first in a three part series about the game, goes into it a little bit, talking about how Overwatch was born out of Titan's downfall You can tell, with all the Blizzard devs talking about it, they are disappointed in how[...]

Tracer has become one of, if not the face of Overwatch, so there is a lot riding on her, what with heralding in Blizzard's first new IP in a long, long time. Funnily though, she isn't even going to be making her first in game appearance in Overwatch That honor will go to the Heroes of[...]

Overwatch has been a rather strange phenomenon The game isn't even out yet, but it has been in extensive beta testing for quite some time There is already a huge community, and tons and tons of videos online of the game It has been a fairly closed affair on the playing side though, leaving many[...]

While I found the conversation about's Tracer pose over the last week genuinely quite interesting philosophically, the political debate surrounding it has

Overwatch is slowly making its way here, and I for one am really quite excited While I'm waiting though, I am finding these animated shorts about the characters quite cool. We had one around Winston recently, and now we have a second This one focuses on Widowmaker and Tracer, and well, an assassination attempt on what[...]

Overwatch has had it a little hard recently The game has come under fire for changing a pose of the character Tracer, which one fan said they felt over-sexualised the character Blizzard decided to heed the advice and make the change, causing outrage from people claiming censorship of the original work. Well, just a few days[...]
