The best controller settings in Back 4 Blood

Left 4 Dead’s creators are back for blood with the survival game Back 4 Blood, which was released earlier this month. Many gamers who grew up playing L4D and survival game enthusiasts flooded to Back 4 Blood’s servers on multiple platforms and kickstarted their journey either by themselves or with their squadmates. PC players may not have that much to worry about when it comes to their hotkeys since most first-person shooters share identical controls. But console gamers may have different tastes when it comes to their controls. Most titles

FunPlus Phoenix eyeing revenge in rematch vs. DWG KIA at Worlds 2021

This article is sponsored by DJ Esports. In the first match between FunPlus Phoenix and DWG KIA, FPX had already fallen behind during the pick/ban stage after choosing Kai’Sa in the bot lane. With DWG Kia’s counterattack, FPX were pushed back on their heels and were forced to spend the rest of the match catching up.  FPX has likely learned some hard lessons from that initial loss and has almost assuredly made adjustments. Expect FPX to change their lineup to compensate for their shortcomings in the last match by selecting champions

Will a Nintendo Switch OLED fit in a Nintendo Switch case?

There’s a new Nintendo Switch in town and it’s decked out with robust features that are looking to make gaming on a Switch more enjoyable. The Nintendo Switch is already the go-to handheld gaming device, but it had some room for improvement. The Nintendo Switch OLED ditches the LCD display for an OLED screen. The difference between these two screen technologies is easily noticeable since OLED screens work better with vibrant colors, improving the overall viewing experience. A new screen isn’t the only notable change on the Nintendo Switch OLED,

New World has it all—but what does it do well?

Compiling my thoughts about New World, Amazon’s newest game that’s so big I can’t even see the finish line, is a tall order. Now that I’m more than 40 hours into the game, there’s plenty to discuss. There’s nothing groundbreaking about the story and later I’ll argue the story isn’t the main focal point of the game. You’re part of a crew sailing to find a mystical place called Aeternum. The land is said to be full of treasures, but during a storm, you’re cast onto the shores and end

The next iteration: Nintendo Switch OLED review

It’s hard to believe that the Nintendo Switch has already been around for four years. Since its 2017 launch, the Switch has become a hit for Nintendo, with an abundance of acclaimed first-party games to boot. Following the initial launch, Nintendo released two different revisions of the console in 2019 with the Nintendo Switch Lite and an improved base model with better battery life. Now, Nintendo is dropping the latest revision of the hybrid portable console—the Nintendo Switch OLED. While it might not be the rumored 4K revision of the

Here are the VALORANT Patch 3.07 notes

VALORANT Patch 3.07 is set to join the game, and while it’s not as significant as Patch 3.06, it will still introduce a few interesting changes. Players will be able to “drop-in-drop-out” of VALORANT’s Deathmatch mode without penalty, Viper’s wall will apply instant decay to “high-flying” agents, and several issues causing the game to crash will be resolved.  One of the biggest changes in Patch 3.07 is the removal of the penalty for leaving Deathmatch early. Many players use this mode to warm up before games and committing to a full
