This weekend, TaeJa (Terran) defeated Alicia (Protoss) in the MLG Summer Arena finals to take first place and $10,000! I do feel really bad for Alicia though, since he’s come in second three times in a row now. While he’s definitely “Mr. Consistency,” I’m pretty sure he’d be way happier with a first place win. In time, Alicia … in time. My favorite, Stephano, tied for fifth, but as always his hair was the true star of the tournament....

To say the newTomb Raiderhas been controversial is to put it very lightly indeed. Ever since last year, speculation and arguments have been had concerning the motives of the game, the content demonstrated, and what Lara Croft’s new and tragic portrayal says about the state of women in games. Some are eager to defend it, perceiving attacks on an industry they love and doing what they can to protect its creative freedom....

For those who don’t know, cephalopods are a class of marine animals which include the octopus, squid, cuttlefish, and nautilus, usually characterized by their tentacles and the ability to shoot ink. I’ve always had a soft spot for cephalopods; they’re strange and mysterious and highly intelligent....

Vote Bunnylord! Roll7’s stylish 2D arcade-style shooterNot A Herohas quickly become a frontrunner for my favorite gleefully homicidal title due for release this year. While it’s quite a change of pace from the fantastic, ultra-technical skateboarding titles the studio has become well known for,Not A Heroproves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the UK-based team is far from a one-trick bunny.

If you’re not a Nintendo fan, there isn’t a whole lot I was talking to some colleagues of mine this weekend about what’s left in 2017, and many of them didn’t have much enthusiasm to share. It dawned on me that many are PC-centric, so outside ofDestiny 2(which is already out on consoles) and a few other bits and pieces like the multiplatformStar Wars Battlefront II, there aren’t a lot of heavy-hitters....

Upgrading weapons is almost a must in Bethesda’s space-faring RPG, and titanium is among the most important early on. Many weapon mods require the precious resource and, at first, the metal seems hard to come by. But farming titanium inStarfieldisn’t as challenging once you know where to find it. Two ways to find and farm titanium inStarfield Mine from a nearby star system As with many materials, titanium is gathered in several ways inStarfield....
