The green eyes are a bit too vibrant from Loba's usual hazel, but it adds to her aesthetic in a way that has fans wishing this was her actual eye co


Here's the thing though: reality is stupid. While it's certainly true to life that a mistimed fall will lead to injury and perhaps death, that doesn't mean it's fun. Fall damage has never been enjoyable and always hinders how you can play a game. So it's time for FPS game weapons Guide developers to thumb their nose at Isaac Newton and eliminate fall damage once and for


As cheesy as it sounds, the most important thing in a match isn’t the guns or loot, but your friends. A squad of one or two will have a much harder time than a squad of three.

In the real world, any of the death-defying leaps that characters like Nathan Drake or Lara Croft perform would result in a broken fibula or separated shoulder even when they landed perfectly. It would break immersion if they survived falling fifty feet onto a rocky surface without at least stubbing their


It’s tempting to immediately open fire on enemies that you spot, but sometimes its better to take a moment to consider. Could there be enemies closer to you that you could accidentally alert? Could you have a better chance of taking out that squad if you waited until you got clo

Sunset Overdrive was originally released as an Xbox One exclusive, which is funny to look back at now, considering how synonymous Insomniac Games are with PlayStation today. Sunset Overdrive still hasn't been released on the blue brand, though it did release on PC in November 2


In-game, it makes the process much easier. Opening the friends list and left-click on the name to invite a friend into the game or teammate as a friend. This saves the hassle of searching some of the more confusing names most players have seen on the online l


500 XP is the reward, a contribution towards the aesthetic items in the store. Players will have to take out some serious competition if they're trying to build their wardrobe, but it's a great target for those brave enough to take on the t


Fall damage is often added as an extra obstacle for you to worry about, but it's never an engaging part of any game. At best, your stumble will cost you a small portion of your life bar forcing you to soldier on with what health you have left or waste one of your healing items. At worst, the damage will kill you, causing you to swear at your TV out of frustration and wait for the annoying loading screen to finish so you can painfully make your way back to where you were.
