From Bastion to Zenyatta, each of Overwatch’s heroes have at least one hero that is a direct counter to them. Whether it be due to other heroes exploiting their natural weakness or a more brute force approach, no hero is so good that there is no way to counter them (at least in theory).

Conceptually, Overwatch is no different from any other game in that it is certainly not the first game to revolve around fighting with your team and using your character’s abilities to outplay the opposing team.

At almost half the price of a full retail game, Fallout 4’s Far Harbor DLC is unquestionably one of the more expensive DLCs for any game in recent memory.

Before The Division was released, it was speculated that even though there would not be any traditional raids, additional endgame content in the form of Incursions would function as the rough equivalent to raids.

Read More »What’s in Fallout 4’s Wasteland Workshop DLC and is it worth it?
Following on the heels of Fallout 4’s Automatron DLC, the Wasteland Workshop DLC was advertised as a small DLC that more or less is intended to remind you that there’s still stuff for you to do in the game until Far Harbor is released.
