It's been a long time coming, but Blizzard have finally treated everyone to a new Overwatch animated short - staring none other than Mei.

Gaming with the silkiest and smoothest of frame-rates makes a game look unbelievably sexy, something that Call of Duty has known for many a year now. So what’s the deal? Why is Destiny 2 remaining with a more cinematic frame-rate when the potential to do more on console is there? Because doing just that would diminish the game.

For a change, I was free to explore Gamescom and its many halls. On top of gaming, there's a Cosplay village, oddball sports, a console museum, panels, more esports than you can shake a stick at. Oh, and an entire hall filled with just about all the gaming and pop culture merchandise you could ever dream of

Destiny 2's launch trailer is here quite early, but shows just how far Bungie has come since it first launched their shared-world shooter.

This year, Blizzard has given their cult classic blockbuster a proper visual makeover while retaining its original charm, that brings it in line with their ever-expanding StartCraft universe. Want in on this? Well good news! We’ve got a pair of codes to give away for StarCraft Remastered from our fab friends at Megarom Interactive. Entry is simple: All you have to do is plop your email in the box below and you’ll be emailed in a week’s time should you win.

This year, there are some big, sweeping changes to how multiplayer works, and that’s not just because the series has gone back to its World War II roots. Later this month, you’ll be able to try it for yourself – at least, if you pre-ordered or were invited to the private beta, anyway.

I like to think that Destiny’s Crucible is the perfect fusion of two core aspects of gamer culture: The need to digitally shoot someone in the face and vanity. If you’re going to die on some faraway planet, then you’re going to want to leave a good-looking corpse, amirite?

From a rocky start with AMAZING horse armour in the Elder Scrolls through to more substantial content such as the ground-breaking expansions of The Witcher III, video game downloadable content is a lot healthier for the long-term prospects of a video game than ever before.
