Andrey Doronichev was asked a series of questions last night regarding Google’s foray into streaming videogames.

The addition of players being able to select which role they’d like to fill before a match starts should have a huge impact on the game’s competitive scene. Back in the day, I put a lot of time into Overwatch. I started off playing Ranked and while many of my friends chased that SR, I quickly fell off of it. …

For a long time, Rocksteady and Warner Bros’ Arkham City was the best-selling superhero video game of all time. And that makes sense! The Arkham games redefined what hero games could be. While I still favour the first game, Arkham City’s more expansive open world was obviously a big draw card. After years at the top, the game has now been usurped

It’s been very nearly ten years since the release of the last Marvel Ultimate Alliance game. Back then, Marvel properties weren’t nearly as popular as they are now.

There’s another older game on the horizon that I’m chomping at the bit to get my teeth on, now that it has some remaster sizzle to it: Command and Conquer.

For a long time, the PlayStation 4 has been Ubisoft’s biggest earner. It makes sense.
