Another Let’s Play channel has succumbed to the Overwatch hype as the Game Grumps try their hand at the flashy new team based shooter. They have up one video up (hopefully more are in the works) that includes Arin, Ross, Barry, along with some returning guests of the show Commander Holly, Octopimp, and fan and cast favorite Machoking together on a team. Like some of the other online multiplayer Steam Train episodes in the past, each member of the team has a mic and the view switches from one players perspective to another to show the most interesting of...

By declaring “PHARAH IS BAE”, Markiplier gives in to the hype and joins in on the fun of the hottest new game in 2016, Overwatch.

As the top competitive FPS on the market right now, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is yet another iteration of the storied Counter-Strike series, produced by Valve, that was born way back in the early 2000’s as a Half-Life mod. CS:GO is a game built from the ground up as an eSport game. Using the familiar bones of the Counter-Strikes before it (notably CS 1.6 and CS Source), you will find all the usual weaponry, maps, game modes, and gameplay.

As the offspring of the original MOBA, Dota 2 had a lot to live up to. Ever since the first Defense of the Ancients (Dota) peaked in popularity as a custom map in Warcraft 3, developers saw the potential of expanding the Dota gameplay model to a full dedicated game. Years, and many failed attempts at creating a lasting entry to the genre, later only a few successful MOBA games exist. There is League of Legends (developed by Riot with the help of one of Dota’s creators), Heroes of the Storm (created by Warcraft 3 owners Blizzard), and Dota...
