One of those heroes is Brigitte, who had been nerfed into oblivion in the original Overwatch. Here's how best to play the melee-focused support hero Brigitte.

Halo Infinite is approaching its first anniversary, and Microsoft isn't done promoting the game with bizarre and outlandish collaborations. The latest of these is a partnership with candy company Trolli to create a real "Feedler" weapon that will shoot gummy worms. The "Feedler" is a riff on Halo's famous Needler weapon, and it shoots gummy worms instead of shard projectiles.
Everyone who attends the Halo World Championship in Seattle this weekend can line up at the Trolli booth to shoot...

A team of scientists at Cortical Labs has taught a dish of living brain cells to play a version of the classic arcade game Pong. The experiment is part of a larger effort to understand how the brain learns, and possibly apply that knowledge to the field of artificial intelligence.
"We've made huge strides with silicon computing, but they're still rigid and inflexible," Brett Kagan, an author of the study, told NPR. Kagan further stated that brain cells are able to adapt to novel tasks in...
Halo Infinite's Forge mode will launch with six canvas maps, and they'll be almost double the size of the canvas maps found in Halo 5.
The news comes as part of the fourth and final "Forge Fundamentals" video put together by developer 343 Industries, which gives players an in-depth look at the long-awaited latest version of the beloved map creation suite. Forge is set to arrive in November in a beta state alongside Halo Infinite's winter update.

Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment's commitment to diversity is a cornerstone of its character-driven narrative. The game boasts a massive roster of characters of all ages, races, and sexual identities. While Apex has had several story arcs focusing on lesbian, bisexual, and gay characters, the game has yet to introduce an openly transgender character to the game. Today, with the release of Stories From The Outlands: Last Hope, all of that changed.
The trailer introduces us to...
A patent filing by Activision Blizzard is exploring the idea of using machine learning technology to create custom soundtracks for players, which can potentially be used to enhance game experiences. As spotted by Exputer, the "Dynamically generating and modulating music based on gaming events, player profiles, and/or player reactions" filing details how artificial intelligence can be used to create a more dynamic sense of immersion in a video game, using variables to compose music on the...
The most memorable enemy I've encountered in a video game this year isn't the rot valkyrie Malenia from Elden Ring, nor any other fearsome denizen of the Lands Between. Nor is it any of the bats, zombies, and ghastly ghouls that assault you after a few minutes of the bullet hell lunchbreak game Vampire Survivors. No, the enemy that most sticks in my mind is a humble foe from the first 30 minutes of Team Ninja's 2020 samurai Soulslike Nioh 2--a foe that you will kill many hundreds of times...
Last year, Reddit user tosamyng had a problem. After seeing a post on a game collecting subreddit with several convincing fakes of popular Pokemon games, they began to wonder if their Pokemon collection was riddled with bootlegs, too. Luckily, they knew just where to go: r/gameverifying, the Game Verification subreddit.
Tosamyng posted a detailed gallery of their Pokemon games to the community, complete with boxes and photos of each individual game, front and back. In total, the haul...
For players of a certain age, the Nintendo 64 is a sacred monument to nostalgia. However, the system's low-poly aesthetics and obvious technical limitations can make revisiting beloved games like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Banjo-Kazooie a shock. This inspired one group of modders from trying to create an improved version of Super Mario 64 that isn't based on modern standards of graphical fidelity. Instead, they're recreating the colorful, ultra-saturated art...
After announcing a four-player co-op mode will be coming to Gotham Knights next month, Warner Bros. Montreal has shared another piece of less exciting news: The game will run at 30 frames per second on console with no performance mode option.
The announcement was made via the official Gotham Knights Discord server by the game's executive producer Fleur Marty. She confirmed that the game will not provide an option to switch between a high-quality graphics mode and a performance mode which...
Deion Sanders was "him" back in the 1990s and Madden 23 is celebrating the legacy of #21 with Season 2: Prime Time--a fall content roadmap that doubles up on Most Feared and Team Diamonds. Title Update #3 was a win for Franchise lifers (and Reddit) and as a bonus, Season 2 paves the way for more customization in Ultimate Team with Prime Time gear drops, Legendary Strategy items, Team Of The Week picks by NBC Sports' Matthew Berry, and an all-new Season 2 Field Pass that features new player...
Mei in Overwatch 2 faced one of the biggest hero nerfs when Blizzard removed the freeze effect from her primary weapon.

Mei is a hybrid support and DPS character whose abilities can inflict debuffs on enemies and help control the...
Pokemon Go players will soon have a new challenge to pursue (literally), as Niantic has announced Elite Raids, a brand-new type of raid that can only be challenged in-person.
Elite Raids are special raids that will randomly be inserted into existing gyms within Pokemon Go. Once they appear in a gym, the special Elite Raid egg will take 24 hours to hatch, meaning players in the area will have a full day to organize if they wish to challenge the raid. Once the 24 hours are up and the egg has...

The trouble is it takes quite a bit of effort to reach that point. Here's how to play the snipe-happy Widowmaker.

Overwatch 2 is now available as a free-to-play game, letting anyone jump into the hero shooter. While the game has had some server issues and bugs, the launch has transitioned the original Overwatch into Overwatch 2. This brings a ton of new content, like the brand-new Push game mode, but it also brings back all of the heroes from the original Overwatch.
