Two new characters have been announced for Heroes of the Storm, both hailing from the Diablo universe. Dustin Browder, the game’s director, revealed the additions in an interview with MetaBomb last night. The first was Li Ming, a wizard inspired by Diablo 3. She has three core builds, though of course, players can mix and match to suit their style. Magic Missile “is a good midrange build” according to Browder. The Arcane Orb

Each version has been tailored specifically for its platform, with exclusive features designed for the different controllers.

We only have another week to wait for Jonathan Blow’s follow-up to Braid, a massive puzzle game called The Witness for PS4 and PC. Preorders went live today on Steam for $40 and the Humble Store with one of the best pre-order bonuses we have seen yet; Pre-orderers will have the pleasure of getting “the warm and fuzzy feeling” you get when you buy a game early. Blow adds, “it’s exactly the same as buying the game

PCGamer released their Top 50 Most Important Games of All Time. A huge list going from the beginning of gaming in 1962, all the way up to 2015.  Posing questions how games have influenced the gaming world, for good, or worse throughout the years: Imagine PC gaming today without Doom. Would we still be playing first-person shooters? Probably. But who knows what they would look like? Without Doom, an entire decade of gaming would'v

Hi Gamers! We’re pretty stoked to be adding another game to our Silver bundles: this one is from a series very close to our hearts. BioShock Infinite is now available as a Silver game. This means you can get it with either a Silver subscription or with a Gold subscription and a second Silver game. What seems like forever ago(it was, in fact, six years ago) a proud gamer named James met a closet gamer named Melissa at university. He

In a short and sweet update post to the Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 Steam page, Scott Cawthon gave fans a date for the release of the latest in the franchise, an RPG called FNaF World. On February 19th, PC gamers will be let in to Freddy’s world. Android and iPhone versions will release “in the following weeks.” From Cawthon’s September 15th post,  It's very important for me to say again that there wil

At least one title in the Total War series is on every member of the GamerDating team’s list of awesome games.  Maybe you’ve noticed our excitement over Total War: Warhammer? We love the combination of strategy and history, merged with ever-evolving gameplay and increasingly great graphics. If you haven’t had a chance to explore these fantastic strategy games, perhaps now is the time! We are excited to be able to offer y

Hi Gamers! We don’t usually spend a lot of time on mobile games, but when the majority of the team is excited for a release, it is more than worthy of a mention.  Adult Swim Games released Pocket Mortys today, a day earlier than expected. It was pretty adorable, their Twitter profile polled followers about the change and, of course, the overwhelming response was “YES”. I downloaded the game and played for about an hou

Members can play a library of games for their $4.99/month subscription, as well as recieve a 10% discount on Origin Store purchases and pre-release access to upcoming EA titles.  The Vault is starting with 15 games, including some exclus

Another Awesome Games Done Quick event has wrapped up, this one bringing in at least $1.2 million dollars for the Prevent Cancer Foundation from 30,575 donations. The largest was over $18k which is amazing enough on its own, but what really warms our hears is the just under $40 average per person. We love seeing things like this as Gamers support several gaming marathons for charity throughout the year, and Games Done Quick’s bi-annual even

Late last night, Reddit user verynayce brought Minecraft II, a mobile app available on iOS, to the attention of the /r/gaming subreddit. This app claims to be the sequel to the wildly popular and currently first place app, Minecraft: Pocket Edition. It lists for the same price, $10.99 in the US, and is somehow all the way up at number four on the Top Charts despite a one star rating and clear reviews that say this is a scam. The app isn’

We thought Riot Games had finally stopped teasing. We thought that when they released a video of their newest champion, it was a minute and some odd seconds before we knew more about what we have been being stoke up about. Not so much. It is beautiful, intriguing and devoid of details.. The video, titled “Mind of a Virtuoso”, plays more like what we would guess mixing every psychedelic looks like than the typical hero i

Obsidian Entertainment and Paradox Interactive announced that the second expansion for Pillars of Eternity, The White March Part 2, will be released on February 16th. That is a little bit of a delay, it was planned for the end of January, but with the date only being a tad over a month away, we are willing to forgive them. The trailer, released today on Paradox Interactive's YouTube channel, gives us only a little glimpse of the game's de

Ever since the approach of Back to the Future Day (October 21, 2015 in case you haven’t watched that film franchise a million times) the jokes about the differences between our reality and the movie’s idea of where we would be by now have been flying. While we are still waiting for our hover boards (and please please please let there never be a Jaws 19), at least gamers can be assured that we are finally going to see virtual real

On Christmas day, a ton of Steam users logged on to the platform and found other people’s personal information displayed. It has taken five days for Valve to to make a statement and we have seen many people more upset about the lag time than the effects of the attack. We've never been through something on that scale, but we are sure it is a massive pain in the side and urge everyone ot have a little bit of Christmas spirit toward Valve.

IGN had the pleasure of introducing two more characters for the upcoming first-person shooter Battleborn by Gearbox Software today and they are both integral parts of the game’s story. According to Creative Director Randy Varnell, the earned characters get unlocked “pretty quickly”. “We want you to encounter them first interacting with you about the story, then later you get to unlock them and make them your own.&rdqu

Earlier today, Nintendo announced via Twitter that they are releasing new DLC for Splatoon this evening. A new map called Piranha Plant will be available after 7 pm PST/10 pm EST (3 am GMT for our European friends).  This new map is expected to be one of the last pieces of DLC for Splatoon. Earlier this month, co-director Yusuke Amano told Game Informer that the free DLC campaign for the game will fun until January 2016 and there aren&rsq

I know I'm not the only one who has fond memories of tearing into a suspiciously correctly sized box on Christmas to gleefully find a Nintendo console. This year, I'm sure there are thousands of kids doing just as I did on Christmas eve: scoping out the boxes under the tree and just slightly lifting certain shaped ones to check their weight. Since ours is already hooked up to the TV, instead of snooping under the tree, I ge

Awesomenauts, the 2-D side scrolling MOBA, has announced an update that will be released in early 2016. While the user base of the game is smaller than its free-to-play counterparts, this one is definitely worth a try for anyone who isn’t a habitual MOBA player as well as those who enjoy the typical Dota format. The update will bring three new characters: time-travelling inventor Professor M. Yoolip, hyperbike-riding bounty hunter Chucho
