The Half-Life series is recognized as one of the greatest game series of all time. The latest entry, Half-Life: Alyx , is a virtual reality exclusive and is incompatible with a keyboard and mouse setup. This is a series that is continually pushing innovation with gameplay way ahead of its t
Counter Strike: Global Offensive has often been a source of gambling-related controversy, and so it is no wonder that this inevitably translated over to the Twitch platform. CSGO's case unboxing system provides a small opportunity for players to possibly receive items worth huge amounts of real-world money and was one of the first titles to really spark widespread discourse surrounding this kind of "soft gambling" that was going unchecked within the video game indus
What has made the map a mainstay for so long is its balance, unique aesthetic, and low learning curve. The map has also gained a bit of a reputation for being a bit of an upset map in the professional scene. This and its age have led to community questioning when the map will inevitably get its revision, but until that day, Mirage surely has a lot more to g
At a glance, Superhot seems like a game tailor-made for controllers. Aiming in first person is challenging, and Superhot makes things slightly easier by slowing down time to a crawl as players try and nail the best shot possi
While Wildermyth has received controller support, using a gamepad to play this game is nowhere near as intuitive as a mouse and keyboard. There's a reason why this game constantly needs updates to make the controller more viable to play while the mouse and keyboard controls have remained fairly intact and preferred by m
Borderlands is best played with a keyboard and mouse. It is a first-person shooter that provides stellar accuracy with the keyboard and mouse combination. If it were a fighting or racing game, this discussion wouldn't be happening in the first pl
Ancient is, unfortunately, also quite CT-sided with many of the same sentiments for Vertigo being shared here. Many would argue it is worse on Vertigo, but the pro scene has shown how effective T-sides can be at the highest level. With that being said the map has seen a few minor changes since its introduction to improve this imbalance such as improving player visibility. Despite its early and current issues, it does fare well in pick rate in both professional and casual p
December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I'm also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And for my family fun I'm looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant
Any pro Counter-Strike 2 Matchmaking player will tell you that damage, armor penetration, and accuracy make a gun. Lacking practically all of these, the PP-Bizon doesn't have much to offer aside from its outrageous 64 round magazine capacity, which is a lot even for an SMG. Unfortunately, it really doesn't offset the drawbacks here. Having so many bullets to spare isn't much of a benefit when you have such a hard time killing anything with t
Over the last few weeks, many people simultaneously came forward accusing ItsSliker of defrauding them out of significant amounts of money. Contacting friends, other streamers, and long-term fans, Sliker asked for various sums of money over the course of several years under the false pretenses of a locked bank account and the desire to pay the loan back with interest. Never paying back any of his victims, Sliker would instead use the funds to extend what he described as a serious gambling addiction, in which he fell into a self-destructive spi
With Black Friday over, I can now say that I'm looking forward to stabbing into Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Rayman: Origins which I picked up during the holiday hustle. I'm also almost finished with my second play through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is showing me just how many different ways there are to go through that game. I'm also going to grind out some more trophies for Uncharted 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Reco
Developer Valve Corporation's video games are highly optimized for the keyboard and mouse setup. With many of their games being PC exclusives, it's no wonder why using a keyboard, and a mouse is intuitive for Team Fortress 2. The game offers controller support, yet the keyboard and mouse duo is easier to
It wouldn't be until November 18, 2022, that the map would be added to the official Valve active map pool, replacing the iconic Dust II. Immediately the player base voiced its confusion and apprehension as while the map received initial positive feedback it went through many changes and issues were highlighted throughout this time. As it is now Anubis has a long way to go before it is fully mastered and players can truly form an opinion on the potential of the
