With the sudden success of the Overwatch League and the decision by Activision to start one of their own with Call of Duty , rumors now indicate that Valve is thinking about starting a franchise league for Counter-Strike 2 Tournaments Global Offensive . We'll explore why this would be a very bad idea and discuss potential alternati

Players take control of their anime teen of choice, then get dropped into 5v5 matches on a variety of claustrophobic maps. While trying to defuse bombs, rescue hostages, and secure tactical areas, the girls will hunt each other down with military-grade weaponry. Upon taking a few slugs from a Type-89 or a face full of SuperNova buckshot, your girl loses an article of clothing and becomes instantly immobilized for the rest of the round. Too many losses, and bam - your skintight clothing is gone, and you've lost the ma

The so-called "complex" story of Stranglehold: some bad guys have your daughter and your ex girlfriend, and you have to keep pulling the trigger at said bad guys until you find them. To give an even shorter description, it's like Max Payne with 40% less story and 50% more act

Sometimes saying less is better in a match of Rainbow Six: Siege . Snakes like to work alone, which can get in the way of being an effective Rainbow Six: Siege player. Regardless, they work smartly to achieve goals and seldom f

Of course, since I compared it to Max Payne, you should know that it has bullet time and more bullet time-esque features. It has everything a mindless, fun game would need: bad-ass main character (voiced/modeled after Chow Yun Fat)? Check! Gratifying violence? Check! Over the top action sequences? Check! Solid controls? Ch

In this way, the league would simply become another chance to earn income for teams, rather than being the only place where teams have a chance at winning a major. Valve would also have to select a certain number of tournaments that each league team would have to participate in, using the results of each tournament to determine how many points each league team is assigned at the end of the season and thus, impacting their overall position within the league at the

But what she doesn't know is that this monster is one of her own creation. Her latent masochism has given way to these dark delusions - twisted abominations that are physical manifestations of her own innate desire to be punished by somebody, anyb

If, as rumors suggest, Valve goes ahead with franchising, changes need to be made to current models in order to ensure the game's success. Rather than have buy-ins, Valve should institute a format that is like most majors for the inaugural season and allow teams to compete against one another to earn a spot in the league. They could use the same tournaments and assign points to each, which would then help to determine who would move into the lea

With the release of this week's Senran Kagura: Peach Ball , Marvelous' stalwart franchise has crossed over into the world of pinball. This is far from the first time the brawler has switched genres, though. From rhythmic cooking to cutthroat water gun fights, the upstanding young women of Hanzo National Academy are truly Jills of All Tra

Dragons benefit from their intelligence and courage. These are two vital characteristics in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Knowing which weapons to use on maps in different circumstances is essential. You must also possess tenacity if you wish to win matches. In this sense, those with the dragon Chinese zodiac fit in this game. You are willing to take risks to achieve objectives. Your game is Counter-Strike: Global Offens

Weapons sway more when aimed down sights, making even simple shots hard to pull off, and the map is filled with sound traps that reveal positions to other teams in a heartbeat. The overall flow and strategy of Hunt make it one of the hardest yet most satisfying games for newcomers to le

Your playstyle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is aggressive. You are someone who is energetic and doesn't like to play the waiting game. Roosters are talkative, making them exceptional for team-based Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered matches. Your love to brag about your list of accolades within the game. You crave attention, even if it gets on the nerves of other players at ti

Most know of the game, which won a ridiculous amount of rewards after its release, and it's often included in "Best Games of All Time" packages, but was considered a commercial failure in sales and thus this is why no sequel to such an amazing game has ever been made. I think the fact that the fan-sites for this 1998 game are still active says it

Back from LucasArts glory days, Grim Fandango is probably the best example of a graphic adventure you can find. It was amazingly stylized and had an incredible plot which hooked you right from the beginning, and is probably one of the best examples of good writing in the videogame busin
