Name’s McCree, now let me tell you how I got that name… When I sat down with Jeff Kaplan to chat with him aboutOverwatch‘s beta (which feels like ages ago now) one of the first things I asked him is how his team intended on integrating solo content into the game. He made it clear that multiplayer was the core focus but over time, they’d continue to pepper in kernels of story and other modes: a practice they seem to want to continue....

Exploring the hilarious metanarrative of character creators

No middle sliders When a game gives you a character creator, that mechanic can be more fun than actually playing the rest of the game. How you choose to make your character can say a lot about you — maybe you want an in-universe version of yourself to roleplay with, or an original character, or maybe you’re just trying to make the most hilarious monstrosity you can think of. Sometimes playing around in the character creator becomes the point of the game entirely — this can happen often withThe Sims, especially those who enjoy making Sims thatlook as close to their favorite celebritiesas possible....
