OverWatch Origins - Coming Soon

in

The best place to get it here at CDKEYS.com.

I'm honestly not a hard-core first-person shooter fan. I started with doom back in the 90s, played a little bit of call of duty on the console, and that's pretty much about it.

I thought that overwatch origins was just going to be Meh! But blizzard had an open beta weekend where they wanted to test the servers, and after a few games I was hooked. Thankfully, the system requirements are not ridiculous. Also like most blizzard games, it's very well thought out, balanced, and should be very fun to play even for people who don't like first-person shooters.

The next Open Beta starts on May 5th, 2016.

The best price by far is from CDkeys.com for less than $42 USD. I purchased Fallout 4 from them at a very nice discount a few months ago and everything came through as described. I was so happy with the price, and the service that I recently became a web affiliate.

Anyway, check out the videos that blizzard put out about overwatch. What some gameplay, but you should really try the game for yourself. I'm sure there's going to be some free trial promotion for friends once the game comes out. If you need one, comment down below and if I have any I will send a friend key to you.

 

 

NVidia's MicroConsole Brings Your PC Games to TV CES 2015

in , ,

Nvidia's Forge TV brings one of the best tricks from last year's NVidia Shield series to your TV at a more affordable price - streaming and control of your game from your desktop PC / MAC to your living room.  But unlike the Shield which requires a GT6xx series graphics card on your PC/Mac, this one will support AMD as well.

(Of course it does the other usual Android gaming stuff as well.)

It'll run you $149.99 with the controller as pictured above, and comes out next quarter.

Sifteo - thinking outside the cube

in , , , ,
I first heard about the Sifteo cubes last year when I was forwarded the TED conference talk about the concept of the product from a friend that works there.  A couple days ago I got to visit Sifteo at the consumer electronic show convention booth and see them in action and try them out for myself.

Growing outrage at Blizzard's Starcraft II restrictions, and limited gameplay

in ,

 

 

Starcraft II was most definitely a huge launch worldwide.  We already know it's going to be a great game since Blizzard had spent the past 11 years working on it on and off.  But what is the deal with all the limitations?

Here they are in a nutshell:

1. You are completely tied to the internet.  You can't login without internet connection to battlenet.  You have the register the game.  You can only play with your friends if they are connected to the internet.

2. Its 1/3 of a game!  You only get to play the Terran campaign, but yet you pay $60+ for it!  Expect about 20-30 hours of gameplay for the campaign on normal difficulty.  Yes, multiplayer is really where it's at, but at the same time it feels as though you need to play through those campaigns to get a feel for the other races.

3. Network multiplayer requires everybody to own a copy of the game.  You can't just 'spawn' guest copies for your friends to play with you like you used to be able to do with the original Starcraft.

4. Product activation will happen again and again with each new update.

Still, if you can stomach all that, it gives you guys all that you've been craving since Star Craft I and expansions.  It's still 'relatively' cheap entertainment and there's no monthly fees to play on battle.net.  Just make sure you save up the cash for the 2 other future expansions. I'm going to guess its going to be priced at about $40 a piece.
