Ubisoft’s controversial open-world hacking game gets a beautiful art book For all the controversyover its graphical quality, Ubisoft’sWatch Dogshad a compelling open-world version of Chicago to explore. As Chris Carter pointed out in his review, the visuals rarely meet the quality set byGTA Vbut Ubisoft has put plenty of effort into making its version of the Windy City a believable location for Aiden Pearce to operate. A lot of that detail is captured inThe Art of Watch Dogs, a 144-page hardcover artbook that showcases a lot of paintings, concept art, and 3D models that went into forming the vision for the game....

For a far-future warzone, it feels pretty tame The upcomingDisintegrationis often compared toDestiny, and from a visual perspective, I do see it. But after playing throughthe closed technical betathat just kicked off today, the comparisons really stop there. Disintegration‘s big conceit is that you serve as a vehicle-driving overlord for a small task force of AI troops; among other real players who are doing the same thing. Utilizing a “grav cycle,” you’ll freely fly over battlefields consisting of other ally and enemy cycles, and a number of ground troops that double as your retinue....

There’s truly nothing better than a choreographed song that just yells out the moves to you, because even someone with two left feet can make that work. The song is truly a staple of organized events, but thanks to aCall of Dutystreamer with a sense of humor, the “Cha Cha Slide” has made its way intoWarzone 2....

Bottom line, it’s flexible Odds are if you startedWorld of Warcraftin the last few years, you may not have even seen several of the zones — or entire expansions for that matter. Old content has long been a burden or a boon for MMOs, and when you’re knee deep in six expansions, the prospect of starting one up can seem insurmountable. Patch 7.3.5, which dropped earlier this month, changes that with a complete world overhaul, introducing level scaling into the mix....

You only need one run to do it Long-termFortniteplayers should be well-accustomed to slurp barrels at this point, but the hotspots for tracking them down en masse change on any given season. Here’s where to easily find them for theFortniteChapter 4 Season 3challenge, which thankfully also includes slap barrels! To complete the challenge/quest, you’ll need to destroy 15 slurp/slap barrels (any method will do, but hitting them with the pickaxe is the simplest method, and works at the very start of a match)....

Hard to believe it has happened this early, but I suppose the Japanese really loveVirtua Fighterbecause the 5th version of the game has made its mark as the first PlayStation 3 title to break the country’s top 10 in sales. Though it was closely trailed by a bunch of Nintendo titles, it certainly is the first really good sign for Sony since launching the monolith. Is this a sign of things to come?...

Don’t call it Battle.net I remember an era before Battle.net existed, and now,we’re in an age where it’s dead. PlayingDiabloover a 56K modem was rough, so whenDiablo IIarrived with a fully featured Battle.net infrastructure, it was an unreal upgrade (having a second set of gear as showoff “chatroom garb” was the absolute best). Battle.net was a triumph, and although it still technically exists in (machine) spirit, it’s also not proper anymore — Blizzard insists that you just call it…Blizzard App, instead of the [good] previous catchall term that could simultaneously refer to the app and the online service....
