Check Out Overwatch’s New Winter Wonderland Event
As you know, we are huge Overwatch fans and you could argue that no one does an event like Blizzard do. Well as it is the holiday season, they have a really cool winter event called Winter Wonderland for us which started on the 12th of December.
The really fun, Mei’s Snowball Hunt is part of the event. This was also part of last year’s winter event and it is a really fun time. There is also a new mode that is part of Winter Wonderland and this one is called, Yeti Hunt. Honestly, Blizzard is freaking awesome when it comes to adding fun new modes. In this mode, you play as part of a team of Mei’s and you guys need to hunt down the Yeti, who just so happens to be played by Winston! This mode is an absolute blast and we love it when Blizzard has fun with their characters like this.
Of course, it would not be an Overwatch update if it did not have a variety of new skins to check out. Last year’s skins are available, but there are some really cool new ones such as Hipster Hanzo which is from the Overwatch comic book. Overwatch players love new skins and we feel that Blizzard has made some great ones for this latest update.
Speaking of an update. They have also made a few changes to the game such as being able to see what skins you have never looked at before, this is a real time saver as going through a characters skins could be annoying. Now with the press of a button, you can make it so that it only shows the new skins.
We love Call Of Duty WWII and with the Thanksgiving Double XP Weekend here, we thought we would give you some tips on ways you can make the most of it and level up even faster!
War Mode is already a ton of fun, but if you play it correctly, you can really rack up some major XP. By playing it correctly, we mean actually completing your objectives and not just running around killing people. War Mode can be a gold mine if you are completing objectives and picking up a win, even more so this weekend.
We get that a game of War Mode can last quite a while, but if you want something quick, fast and more traditional Call Of Duty, we suggest you play as many games of Hardpoint and Domination as you can. Do not just try and survive though, get in there, get the objectives done and get the matches over as quickly as possible, you can really make some nice XP this way.
Ok so WWII Orders tend to be supply drops, but we have gotten some nice XP boosts by completing WWII. Likewise taking the time to do some of the contracts, ones that you are actually good at is a fantastic way for you to earn a little extra XP on top of what you are already doing, especially during the Call Of Duty WWII Double XP Weekend.
The is no shortcut to getting XP in Call Of Duty, but make sure when you are in a game, you actually play and if it is an objectives based game mode, do the objectives, you do this and you will notice your XP really start to increase.
Today we are starting a new series where we look back at the Rainbow Six series. It might blow your mind when you realize that this series has been around since 1998!
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six (1998) Sony PlayStation, Nintendo 64, PC, Sega DreamcastThe first game to really make Tom Clancy a big deal in the world of video games (as he had been in other media) was the original Rainbow Six game. The game was first released on PC and then was ported to console via the PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and then a little later, the Sega Dreamcast.
It has been reported that for this game, Tom Clancy wanted a shooter that was more tactical based and required the player to think before they would shoot. The Rainbow team is an elite counter terrorism unit that is sent into various places to bring down a target and save hostages. For the time the story was pretty in depth, but these days it is probably seen as a bit simplistic.
It was the strategic gameplay that hooked many people. A mission can be completed in mere minutes, but this mission may have to be replayed over and over again. There is a lot of trial and error in Rainbow Six as the player tries to figure out what is the best way to go about completing a mission. Watching all your planning work out and the mission be successful is a great feeling.
At the time of the release the PC version was reviewed pretty well, but this kind of game was not something console gamers were used to and as a result, the console versions were not reviewed as well. Especially the Dreamcast version which many reviewers at the time said was a lazy port.
While it may seem basic by today’s standard, the original Rainbow Six is a real landmark video game and if you are interested in checking it out. The PlayStation version an actually be downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
