Video Games

 Today at E3 2016, Bethesda announced continued DLC support for three of their biggest recently released video games, Fallout 4, Doom, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. It’s great to see Bethesda supporting their games and the strong communities they have. Come check out all the details!

After a moderate release schedule in January, the gaming industry is back in full swing with non-stop blockbusters coming to BestBuy.ca and hitting Best Buy shelves all month long. From XCOM 2, to Street Fighter V, to Far Cry Primal, and many more, there’s something for everyone this month in gaming!

 This week, Melanie and I took advantage of our time at E3 to stop by the booths of companies offering cutting-edge devices for gamers. These include Alienware, Thrustmaster and Emtec to discover their new GEM Box, a tiny Android box that lets you stream and download a wide range of video games.

 With Overwatch—available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows—Blizzard Entertainment has cast aside the sword and sorcery shtick from which it spawned the uber-successful Warcraft and Diablo series of games. Instead, Overwatch is an accessible and character-based, multiplayer, first-person shooter set in a future where global chaos and tyranny is battled by adventurers, sentient robot ninjas, cyber cowboys, and other assorted misfits of science. But, where once Blizzard ruled the world of competitive e-sports gaming with its StarCraft titles (until games like League of Legends, Dota 2 and others stole the crown), can Overwatch’s gameplay return Blizzard to the top? Read my review of Overwatch to find out.
