Overwatch The Overwatch beta is back in full swing and a few things have been added to Overwatch in the way of player levels and a few other game altering additions Just when you thought it was over they drag you back into Overwatch as the beta access has been turned back on. Not only is the beta back on and waiting for all of us to flood the game again but it looks like Blizzard has added a few new options and tweaks to Overwatch that are all based on suggestions from the community. Of course there would be alterations to the game. That is generally what a beta is supposed to be fore and there is a lot that can change in Overwatch before it hits the PC, PS4, and Xbox One in any official capacity. Read More...

Overwatch A new cinematic trailer for Overwatch has been released to give us all a better feel for the tone and themes we will encounter in Overwatch once the game launches Hopefully by now you are not still wondering "Who is Overwatch?" There have been a plethora of videos showing off each well-crafted hero that Blizzard has made for the game in action so that should be a bit of a moot question. For those who happen to know nothing about Overwatch so far this is for you. If you were hoping for more on when it will hit the PS4, Xbox One, or PC you can head back to your Christmas/Holiday fun as those celebrations usually put a damper on getting any real news out there.

Overwatch During Blizzcon it has been announced that Overwatch is hitting the consoles and it is getting an Overwatch: Origins Edition to do so As was to be expected it looks like Overwatch is getting a collector's edition of sorts and in this we have a solid confirmation that it is also heading to the PS4 and Xbox One platforms In addition to the already known PC version. Well more of a special edition and then a collector's edition if we want to be more succinct about this here for Overwatch. Both of which will be bringing a whole slew of goodies not only for Overwatch but pretty much every other major IP that Blizzard currently has up and running. Read More...

Overwatch The Overwatch closed beta has now been dated and the process that players will be able to help shape Overwatch has been detailed out a bit more We've seen all the heroes and villains of Overwatch in action and now it is time to play them and help tweak them with the announced beta for the game. There had been no date set by Blizzard for said beta up until now. But that was then and this is now so we can all look forward to playing in the Overwatch beta here as early as October 27th on our PCs. Read More...

We have more gameplay for Overwatch to show off three more characters as well as a bit of a wrap up on the core gameplay for Overwatch Here we go with even more gameplay and characters for Overwatch here to gawk at. Not only is it more gameplay for the game but it is also a good look at the 'non-female-stereotype' female-stereotype character that everyone praised Blizzard for when she was first announced. I am talking about Zarya the heavy Russian combatant that pretty much looks and plays like every other heavy Russian stereotypical female character in video games. But hey, Overwatch is made by a studio with such a following that no one will care about that and just spin it up on the PC to enjoy for decades as it is another new IP of theirs in the end.

Two of Overwatch's armored badasses are shown off this week with a lot more Overwatch gameplay in the mix as well Being that it is the calm before the storm of E3 I guess it is nice that we have two more characters to look at for Overwatch here. Not only that but I think Blizzard planned well as it is both of the tank looking characters for the game as most of us are going to need to be as beefy as Pharah and Reinhardt look in Overwatch while traversing the show floor for E3. All joking aside there though let us get back to the fact that we have loads more gameplay here to look at and pick through for Overwatch. While it is all "alpha" gameplay I have a feeling that we are going to be getting that beta for the game here in short order after all of the characters are shown off in their glory. Read More...

Two new gameplay videos for Overwatch have been released and this time they are showing of Reaper the angel of death and Torbjörn the dwarven warrior from Overwatch Well the day has finally come and we now have our look at the Overwatch character I've been most interested in. That would be Reaper here. Not only do we have a look at that character but we also have Torbjörn as well from Overwatch. Blizzard is hooking us up this week. Read More...

Another gameplay video for Overwatch has been released and this time we get to see Symmetra in action for Overwatch It wouldn't be another week in gaming news without yet another Overwatch gameplay video it would seem. This of course means that Blizzard has released yet another look at a character for the game and this time it is in the terms of Symmetra. That seriously sounds like a name that would be used for GWAR but as they have yet to claim affiliation with Overwatch we'll just go with a happy coincidence here. Weird name or not we have yet more gameplay for the game and the new character to have a look at. Read More...

Another gameplay video for Overwatch has been released and this time we have a great highlight for Overwatch's Tracer We have yet another look at Overwatch and again this is another look at one of the characters. This time we have a nice new look at that sassy character named Tracer we have seen in videos past. Blizzard has created a fun looking new character with Tracer and I'll admit she was one of the few that I have been looking forward to for Overwatch. That is why I am glad to be able to show off the following new footage for the game. Read More...

Two more views of Overwatch's gameplay have been released and this time it is for Overwatch's Hanzo and McCree Looks like the character highlights for Overwatch will be on a constant stream of release here as we have two more matches to watch and two more characters being highlighted. In this case Blizzard is showing us off the Sniper-esq Hanzo and straight-out-of-western McCree. These of course are my descriptions and not that from the developer and solely based of the following footage as well as stereotyping that can be seen for each character. It looks like Overwatch isn't going to be deviating from what we all are used to in video games or entertainment here. Read More...

Another gameplay video for Overwatch has been released and this time shows off the angelic Mercy for Overwatch Earlier we had a look at Zenyatta for Overwatch and it was a bit jarring and a letdown for me. I was so very excited and then seeing things in action kind of let me down. At least until now as I have seen it looks like it was only the character there that has me on edge about Overwatch. I say this because now we have a good look at how Mercy will handle in the game; at least in terms of the pre-alpha footage that was used to show off the match that focuses completely on this healing angel that looks to play a lot like all of the medics from Evolve. While the medic isn't usually my class of choice in games like Overwatch, the following footage definitely shows me that I may have been too quick to judge based on the previous gameplay that Blizzard has sent our way.

New gameplay footage for Overwatch has been released and this time it focuses on Overwatch's robo-buddhist character named Zenyatta Who wants to see some more Overwatch in action? Not only that but who wants to see some Overwatch gameplay that focuses on one specific character so you can get a better feel for how they will play? I'll give a moment or two for all of those hardcore Blizzard fans to settle down and give others a chance to listen in. They will all also want to be able to see and hear Zenyatta in action for Overwatch. Read More...

During the Blizzard PAX East Panel it was revealed that there are two new characters for their upcoming shooter Overwatch In case you were not able to catch what Blizzard had to show for Overwatch at PAX East, then you should know that there have been two new characters announced for the game. Not too surprising given the past of Overwatch and the fact that we all want to have as many options when it comes to our shooters online. Especially when it is all team based and set in a pretty fantastical world. This now brings us up to 14 "heroes" total to choose from in Overwatch. Read More...

We've collected some of the random virtual Christmas Cards and holiday well wishes from developers and publishers for you Ho ho homicide has to have been one of the best Christmas greetings I have yet to see from a video game studio or publisher this holiday season and I've seen quite a few over the last few days. Tis the season that all of those who make our favorite form of media to try and give back to all of those who keep their families fed. Or at least try to for those who are most likely going to cry and whine to their parents if they didn't get the latest Blizzard expansion or the pre-orders for all of those games coming out next year.

Fresh out of Blizzcon 2014 Blizzard has announced Overwatch their first fully new IP in 17 years It has been about 17 years since Blizzard has moved away from any title that wasn't Diablo, Warcraft, or StarCraft based so it was quite a shock to here that they are working on a new title named Overwatch. This is a team based, first person shooter which is another interesting deviation for the company but not one that isn't going to be welcomed with open arms. I'm not even a huge Blizzard fan who spends all of my time and money on their games and I'll admit what we've seen so far for Overwatch has piqued my interest and garnered my watchful eye.
