Smite World Championship is over Epsilon win

Posted on January 11, 2016 by Fionna Schweit

European second seed Epsilon won the 2016 Smite world champions. They defeated North American underdogs Enemy 3-0 in a run. The games were not as exciting as I had hoped. If you have never played Smite its a first person MOBA. Basically league from the prospective of the champions and with all aimed skill shots for the auto attack (Which I suppose isint an auto attack if you have to aim) A confident first win suggested the Epsilon had figured out the North American metagame after their 3-2 victory over returning champions Cloud9 yesterday. Once again, captain iRaffer’s Ymir—a support character

In an email posted to imgur Marc Laidlaw lists off all of the reasons that he left super publisher Valve.

Readers will remember that Laidlaw wrote both Half

YouTube Channel Racing Video Games poses this question to its’ subscribers with a purely in-game comparison video between Need for Speed 2015, DriveClub, The Crew and Project Cars – all running on

What It’s Like Entering The World of Virtual Reality With A Vision Impairment

Posted on January 9, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

R2D2 Google Cardboard
With the Oculus Rift finally available for pre-order it’s easy to argue that the conversation surrounding virtual reality has never really been hotter. With all of the immersive enhancements that products like PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Open VR are providing to players – stereoscopic 3D, head tracking etc. I’ve noticed very little discussion about what VR could mean to individuals with disabilities.  I’m near blind in one eye and after having an interest in virtual reality for a number of years I finally got the chance to try out VR recently. It was a hell of a

Don’t Open That Shovel Knight amiibo Collectors

Posted on January 9, 2016 by Les Major

Shovel Knight amiibo
Surprisingly enough, unlike seemingly all other amiibo figures, Shovel Knight is useable through the packaging! So if you’re a collector of amiibo figures, you can keep Shovel Knight secure in his box and still use those neat new features available from using him. Isn’t that great? This is currently what we’ve seen from the first release Shovel Knight amiibos. It seems to just feature two cardboard flaps at the bottom and no NFC inhibiting foil piece. So what else can you do with Yacht Club Games hero’s amiibo that was just released today? Let’s take a look at the details.

The Joys of Import Gaming: How easy we have it these days

Posted on January 8, 2016 by Erika

As a kid having grown up during the 90s, I got to experience the height of the console wars in full swing: Nintendo vs Sega. Both of those companies duked it out for the dominance of the console market, with several other competitors such as Atari with their Jaguar and NEC’s TurboGrafix-16 lagging severely behind.
