At this point, it's simply a matter of timing a straight line run of one of the map's street, a couple of equations, and we come up with a rough result: the map you see above measures approximately 2,246 meters by 2,188 meters. That's 3.73 square kilometers or 1.44 square miles. Yes. I know, it was pretty sm

Perhaps the best news is that every game from 2016 has made the 2017 list, although Call of Duty is represented by Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare this year instead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 in 2016. Creating communities and scenes that are lasting, where players can feel like participation isn't hugely risky to their long-term success, is and will continue to be eSports' most important challe
Those numbers are slanted because most game scenes are inclusive for casual players, but some are bigger than others. $1,000,000 of Quake Champions ' $1,013.988 comes from just two major tournaments whereas Counter Strike: Global Offensive 's $10,728,225 comes from 510 tournaments. Both are impressive, but both aren't supportive of growing, thriving, and healthy player-ba
In a market as complex as the one that video games are developed, marketed, and sold in, the research data regarding their respective successes or failures is equally complicated. For most gamers, the reports from the NPD Group, one of the most respected analysts when it comes to sales figures, are often where they glean trends in video games - for instance, the June NPD report from this year suggested console sales are slowing down , while a report on last month indicated that NBA 2K17 was doing well in sal

The gaming world was clued in to Faulkner’s work by a reddit post by a Spideraxe30 showing a Twitter interaction between Faulkner and another user. Faulkner, apparently unaware of Riot’s practice of crediting voice talent, coyly acknowledged his work on the game and lamented the lack of acknowledgement on Riot’s p
Rift Herald’s Ryan Gilliam piece on the matter has exposed the rift between Riot’s practices and the awareness of their voice actors. The discovery was originally made on Twitter by a lawyer and fan using the handle @LimitlessCha
This incident has provided a good opportunity for Riot Games to adjust their policy regarding voice talent. While it might distract slightly from the game itself, making news of their voice actors only stands to increase the profile and popularity of _ League of Legends _ . A hire such as James Faulkner, who already has a significant foothold in fantasy entertainment as Tarly, would make for enticing news out of Riot. As mentioned in Gilliam’s piece, it is also widely rumored that Patrick Warburton provides the voice of
Of note, despite not being particularly close to the first spot on either platform, Blizzard's Overwatch is making steady progress on both console and PC, making the top 10 list for both and finishing ahead of DOTA 2 on PC. Overwatch 's community has been praised very highly over the course of its brief existence, and its dedicated playerbase makes it a looming threat that could usurp other games on similar lists in the near fut
