Unlike the Wii before it, motion controls have taken something of a backseat when it comes to the Switch . But despite most of its library stressing traditional inputs, the Joy-Cons offer some of the best gyroscopic controls in gaming. Ironically, these refined gyro controls are still a bit underutilized compared to the cruder technology built into the Wiim

With the release of Overwatch 2 Patch Notes 2 , players have been anticipating the exciting PvE story mode and its new enemies . Unlike the standard 5v5, PvE is a different beast entirely, and teams will have to focus on crowd control and DPS, so maybe your beloved Lúcio or Doomfist might have to warm the bench

So long as you can dodge and evade enemy fire and make strategic use of her recall ability, Tracer can deal consistently high DPS while enjoying the use of her quick-charging sticky bomb ultimate abil

At the same time, this installment goes a step beyond, filling in some depth with new more involved sports, online gameplay, and of course — smooth, dynamic motion control via the Joy-Con. This time around, badminton, association football (which utilizes the Leg Strap), and the highly fun volleyball replace Wii Sports ‘ baseball, golf, and box

This bizarre map doesn’t have a ton going for it outside of the sort of self-congratulatory Blizzard themes that permeate the area. Once you’ve gotten past the amusing StarCraft nods and the subtle, cheeky references to The Lost Vikings , there’s really not much to love about this st

Armed with two hearts and dual machine guns, Mauga seems like a great pick, but his health is on the lighter side, and any attempts to defend himself when alone, see him quickly taken care of by enemies. Mauga is still a good pick, but he exists in a spot of normalcy after his release, in which Blizzard was probably scared of having Mauga be a tank-like Bastion. After all, they already have Or

With the help of sharp motion controls, this hat-tossing mechanic brings a fun new twist and breathes life into the Super Mario formula. The controls draw from the Galaxy method of having motion be more in the background, but at the same time, make it seamless and creatively integrated. This intuitive input complements the array of lush, whimsical worlds — which range from a bustling city to a fantastical food wo

Yet despite its defensive-focused design, the layout, which yields multiple paths and areas to flank, makes attacking more-than-doable for sharp teams. The fun Warcraft- esque themes throughout, coupled with the variance of areas and overall detail make Eichenwalde an optimal choice to revisit for Overwatch

The stealth-assassin hero may not be the first to come to mind when picking for a PvE match, but the changes made to her character in Overwatch 2 have cranked up her abilities with only a minor nerf to her bullet damage. Against the less evasive NPCs in PvE, her SMG can crank up her DPS with a barrage of critical h

The leader of Null Sector, Ramattra will show the world his brutality through his many abilities. Ramattra has a Void Accelerator as his main form of attack, which fires a stream of projectiles, like a weaker version of Orisa’s turret. He can also throw up Void Barriers to shield himself and allies, and his Ravenous Vortex will make sure enemies can’t stay behind one place for cover, as their health will be eaten

It’s been a strange week of ups and downs for Sonic. Netflix announced that its upcoming 3D animated series will be called Sonic Prime and is coming to the streaming service in 2022. Meanwhile, several long-time voice actors from the series revealed that they won’t be returning to their signature roles. Roger Craig Smith , Colleen O’Shaughnessey , and Cindy Robinson have revealed that they won’t be returning to voice Sonic, Tails, and Amy in Sonic Prime. Luckily, Eggman voice actor Mike Pollock has confirmed that he will continue to voice the villain in video games but did not confirm whether he would perform Robotnik in the Netflix Ser

Another unannounced unit shown off in concept art-form appears to be another flying drone-like unit. This oblique, tripodal Omnic made zero appearances besides one concept art image, but it looks similar to a Detona

Last week, a YouTuber called Graslu00 uploaded footage from a canceled GoldenEye 007 remaster on the Xbox 360. The game was developed in 2007, but according to the Xbox boss Phil Spencer, became locked in a complicated legal limbo over the rights to James Bond. Between Microsoft, Nintendo, and EON (the owners of the James Bond license), it was simply too difficult to come to an agreement on business terms, and the game was eventually shelved. Graslu00, whose video shows the game in its entirety, was cagey on where the new footage came from, saying only “patience is k
