DualShockers Game Of The Year Awards: The Case For Overwatch

Really, who could play him better than the incomparable John Rhys-Davies? Torbjorn, as a character, clearly sports some similarities to Lord of the Rings ’ Gimli. Specifically, he sports some similarities with Davies’ portrayal of Gimli in the Peter Jackson’s films. The two aren’t a mirror image, but the similarities are apparent enough to make the Davies the obvious choice for any Overwatch dream casting list. He’s the one guy who could make this role memorable no matter how much screen time Torbjorn g


Yes, the PlayStation Vita isn't a game, but it's probably one of the most anticipated handhelds of all time. With it, Sony plans to take portable gaming a step further; dual analog sticks, front and rear touch pads, and a beautiful OLED screen make the Vita a gamer's dream. With the promise of always on connectivity and console quality games on the go, the Vita has earned the immense hype surrounding


With the rising cost of development, buying games these days doesn't come cheap. So with the average video game blockbuster costing around $60 (more if you shelled out for a limited or collector's edition), it's not unreasonable for gamers to expect a good experience or, at the very least, a game that works at lau


From December 16 through December 18, 2016, Major League Gaming will host its first MLG Vegas event, an esports and digital culture festival at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The 3 day event will feature the first competition of the Call of Duty World League _ 2017 _ and an _Overwatch Invitational


The Pioneer, Ambassador and Lifetime Achievement awards will also be delivered during the ceremony, and their recipients will be announced "in the near future." The Audience Award, which will include all the finalists above, will open its voting in late Janu


Overwatch didn't even really register on my radar until a few months before its release. I'm someone that generally sticks to playing mostly single-player titles: if I do pickup a multiplayer game, it's usually for only a few months at most before I either move on to something else or gradually lose my interest. However, the videos I'd watched and previews I'd read prior to Overwatch 's release grabbed my curiosity: once I had my hands on the game's open beta right before launch, I was officially hooked and it had my attent


The awards ceremony will be hosted once more by Double Fine Productions Founder Tim Schafer, and will as usual be paired with the Independent Games Festival Award. Both will be aired on Twitch for everyone to


The game's servers were rocked by demand , meaning that gamers were unable to group into their racing clubs (which was a key selling point of the game) and participate in racts. The game also began to operate on a one in, one out basis, giving players a waitlist for multiplayer sessions. We also would be remiss if we didn't mention the PlayStation Plus version of the game, which also delayed for several months, and was finally released in Ju


But playing the game, and exploring its supernatural lands proved to be quite difficult for PS3 players. This was down to an issue in which the game's cache quickly fills up after just one hour of playtime. The longer someone plays Skyrim on PS3, the more that will fill up and the more the Fps game guide will slow d


When looking for an Aussie to properly bring Junkrat to life, the choice has to be Jai Courtney. Actually, when you think back on it, Courtney’s performance in Suicide Squad as Captain Boomerang could easily be viewed as an extended audition for the role. This character, however, would allow the magnetic actor to simply go all out and truly embrace his unhinged s


On October 11, 2016, Blizzard launched its Halloween Terror event for Overwatch _ . The event included Overwatch's _ first-ever player versus environment game mode and a variety of new Halloween-themed customization items. The event drove even higher engagement and participation than the Summer Games ev


The role calls for a veteran Japanese actor who is able to convincingly convey a scarred soul, which is why Hiroyuki Sanada is the clear pick. Sanada has appeared as a warrior who sticks to the ancient ways many times in previous films ( 47 Ronin , The Wolverine ), leaving no doubt as to his ability to bring Hanzo to l


Given that Genji is likely going to be in a costume most of the time in a live-action Overwatch film, and therefore subject to a great deal of CG and stunt work, so casting him is actually quite difficult. The choice, however, ultimately goes to Tadanobu Asano, who you may know from his work as Hogun from the Thor films. Asano can convincingly portray a fighter, but his work in more dramatic films is what really sells his ability to play a wounded warr


Junkrat is a pure caricature in the best way possible. With his soot-covered features, missing leg, singed clothes, and flame-tipped hair, even an uninformed observer could tell you that Junkrat is an explosives expert after taking just one look at the maniacal munitions mercenary. Junkrat’s entire mission within your average Overwatch game is to cause mass chaos and disrupt the enemy team. He’s a frustrating presence made all the more infuriating by virtue of his grating personality and penchant for fits of high-pitched laugh
