What Graphics Settings Should You Adjust?

Not every PC build on the planet is going to be able to run everything at maximum graphics settings. It’s good to know what to tweak to get good frames!

I’d like to share the settings that I like to tweak a bit to get better performance without changing the overall look of the game so much. If you know what settings don’t change a whole lot then you can get optimal frames per second while having the game still look awesome!

Is Overwatch Destined For eSports?

Plenty of people have picked up Overwatch, over 10 million to be exact, but does that necessarily mean that it’s destined for a spot in the eSports scene?

I just bought Overwatch yesterday since a close friend of mine bought it and wanted some more friends to play with. I participated in the Overwatch open beta and I thought it was pretty fun, figured that the full game would deliver as well!

Virtual Reality Takes PC Gaming To The Next Level

This will be another shorter post, I’ve spent quite a good bit of time with the Vive and soon I wish to write a more in-depth review of it but in short – it’s absolutely amazing.

I didn’t think VR gameplay would be this good, but it just is. I’m super hyped for the future of what the Vive is going to be able to do.

Sure, its current price point is pretty high being a $799 product so not everyone is going to be able to get their hands on it… but if you ever get a chance to test one out yourself I guarantee that you’re going to do everything you can to own one for yourself!

5 Free PC Games To Try With Your New Build

Free to play PC games are getting all sorts of attention and for good reason – they’re actually getting to be some of the best games on the market!

Some free to play games are “pay to win” meaning that there are micro transactions that give players buffs that players that don’t pay would never be able to get.

Then there are other free to play games that don’t do this at all and their micro transactions are simply to make characters or items look awesome.

I know that there will be plenty more free to play games to release in the coming months and years, but here are five that don’t have “pay to win” and are actually super fun!

Path of Exile Is The Best Free Action RPG Game

Although an older game that released back in October 2013 – Path of Exile is easily one of the very best action RPG games that I’ve ever played on PC.  With it being 100% free, it’s definitely worth at least trying it.

When I first saw it released as a free title on Steam I didn’t think that it’d be for me, I figured it’d just be a copy cat of all of the other action RPG games out there like Diablo III.

Little did I know that it’d basically be the exact version of an ideal action RPG game to me. It’s a lot like Diablo III, sure, but it has so many unique features about it that make it its own game entirely.

I still don’t understand why it’s a free game though – I’d pay whatever they asked because it’s just that good.

Doom Is My Favorite FPS Right Now

Lately I’ve been spending quite a bit of time with the new Doom game and I’ve got to say, I’m very proud of id for what they’ve been able to accomplish!

I remember watching my dad play the classic Doom games nearly 20 years ago – he would play them off of floppy disks. I eventually would be able to play the games myself and I’m happy to say that id kept to the roots of the classics and have successfully added the modern twist to this amazing franchise.

Overwatch Open Beta Review, You Shouldn’t Compare It To Battleborn

So I’ve been playing a bit of the Overwatch open beta and I’ve got to say, it isn’t even remotely close to Battleborn. The two shouldn’t be compared at all.

A bit ago I wrote a post about Battleborn and how I thought that I’d enjoy the universe of Overwatch better. I initially thought that Overwatch was also going to be a FPS/MOBA combo but it’s really not at all.

Sure, Overwatch has some elements that a MOBA would have such as characters that all have their own unique abilities and what not but that’s really about it.
