8BitDo’s second arcade stick is moddable, stylish and versatile

Sponsored Links It’s been awhile since I used a fight stick. As a teenager, I would venture into my nearest arcade and spend what little money I had on Dance Dance Revolution. Once my legs had turned to mush, I would hobble over to the Tekken cabinets and get annihilated by a fighting game fanatic who never seemed to leave.

Opinion: How Call of Duty: Mobile Avoided Being Banned in India

On Sept. 1, PUBG MOBILE along with 117 other apps with ties to Chinese companies were banned by the Indian government. The only reason the popular battle royale game was banned was because it was being published by Tencent Games. Many wondered why Call of Duty: Mobile, developed by Tencent’s in house game development studio, TiMi Studios, wasn’t banned as well. The short answer is that the game is published by Activision throughout the world except in Southeast Asia and China. The longer answer is a bit more complex. Since

Games Can Be 30% Smaller For Xbox Series S, Saving SSD Space On Install Sizes

One of the key differences between the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S other than graphical capability is the size of their solid-state drives. The Series S comes with roughly half the storage space of the Series X out of the box: 512 GB compared to 1 TB respectively.

2015: The Renaissance and Golden Age of Korean SC2

by MizenhauerStarCraft II was always destined for great things.Its predecessor, Brood War, was the product of a bygone era where game developers weren’t concerned with balancing the game for full-time professionals, the concept of esports was mostly limited to a convention center in Mesquite, Texas and most people didn’t even have high speed internet. None of that mattered six-thousand miles away from Blizzard headquarters in South Korea, where Brood War became an unprecedented cultural phenomenon. An economic downturn, the proliferation of net cafes and high speed internet, and plain dumb

Onward On Oculus Quest Review: Lock And Load Without Wires

Multiplayer shooter Onward released this week for Oculus Quest. If you’re curious what we think so far, here is our Onward Oculus Quest review! Technically, this is an Early Access release, as you’ll be informed when you first boot the game up. However, Facebook doesn’t officially allow Early Access content on Quest and the game’s store page doesn’t designate it as an early version; this means you don’t find out it’s Early Access until after buying it. With that in mind, we’re treating this like a full launch. [This was
