December'Journey,' 'The Walking Dead,' & 'Far Cry 3' Lead D.I.C.E. Awards Nominations
Angry Birds , of course, needs no introduction. I’m sure you all remember this one conquering the planet/entire known universe back in 2010, crushing all mobile competition into spam beneath its mighty iron jackboot of pure dominance. Angry Birds was (and kind of still is, if you squint a bit) more than a game, it was a phenome
Sometimes, once in a blue and polka-dot moon, a spin-off comes along that officially becomes A Thing™ in its own right. Remember when Mario decided to try his hand at kart racing and the mighty Mario Kart was born? These are rare and blessed occurrences, friends, and they shape whole video game genres around themsel
You know who does seem to have embraced mobile gaming lately (at long freaking last)? Nintendo, that’s who. A year ago, the idea of a Mario title for phones would have outrageous, unthinkable blasphemy, but Super Mario Run is now a thing. As is Nintendo/DeNA collaboration Fire Emblem Her
Each of the remaining Game of the Year nominees (all of which placed on Game Rant's list of the Top 10 Games of 2012 ) earned multiple nominations, as well, with five for Borderlands 2 , seven for Far Cry 3 , eight for The Walking Dead , and three for XCOM: Enemy Unknown . Other heavily nominated games include Halo 4 (six nominations) and Dishonored (five nominatio
"The D.I.C.E. Awards are VERY important to me. I have been playing video games since there were video games. I hope there is some type of Dovahkiin Shout that will make sure I don't mess this up. I will find one! If not, I'll just look like a psychotic, screaming a**hole leading up to the Awar
Pokémon Go , friends. Pokémon freaking Go. What can we really say about this one? Nintendo have been trying for decades to get us gamers up off of our big ol’ hairy sagging-over-the-edges-of-the-couch-cushion butts, with Wii Sports and the like, but Pokémon Go was the one. Go was the game that got us walking our dogs for the first time in four ye
Any player looking for some serious rapid fire action and an impressive damage to go with it will definitely settle for the PDW-57 SMG. This gun has a fire rate of 75 a damage of 42, an accuracy of 49 and a range of 43. But what truly makes this gun great for rapid fire is its mag size. For a sub machine gun it sure packs a lot of bullets. With this gun players can confidently jump into any fight and still have some rounds left-like a mini
What makes Mobius Final Fantasy such a stellar mobile game? It’s remarkably faithful to the mechanics of the franchise, for starters; a dungeon-exploring RPG with levelling and customization governed by the job system. Some compromises had to be made when translating these elements to the hardware, but this is a real technical achievement right here. Especially when you consider the quality of the visuals. The game’s a solid 10 on that score and as any Tinder user will tell you, you don’t meet many
While the huge map is definitely one reason why Call of Duty Mobile 's battle royale private 1v1 matches sometimes go on too long, another is the game's use of bots. Call of Duty Mobile features bots that populate matches for players at lower skill levels. This isn't a terrible idea on paper, but the bots are not nearly as aggressive or smart as real players. It's not uncommon to find bots in Call of Duty Mobile just standing on cliffsides in the battle royale mode, doing nothing but waiting to get discovered and killed. The developers are also sneaky about implementing the bots, giving them names that look like real player names, instead of properly labeling them. This can make it difficult to determine if a victory was really earned or just came about because the enemy team was populated by b
Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm has been hailed as one of the best exclusives on the Apple Arcade and serves as a non-linear sequel to Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas . It's set in different timeline with a new main character, a Knight of Arcadia, and a new weapon, the Caster. This is one of those titles that push the limits of mobile gaming despite its action-adventure set-up, and luckily for fans, the ending seems to imply that an Oceanhorn 3 will hap
The awards will be handed out on Thursday, February 7th, during the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, and the ceremony will be streamed live on Machinima.com starting at 7:30pm PT. Nerdist head honcho/comedian Chris Hardwick will assume hosting duties for the event, replacing longtime host Jay M
While the QQ9 is not so bad in terms range and fire rate, its accuracy and damage are quite low. Its damage is 40, its accuracy is 38, it has a fire rate of 83 and a range of 46. Its fire rate might be the best thing about this gun, but that's not all it takes to be a great gun. Hopefully with the right attachments, a player might be able to boost its performance a little
In (almost) every Call of Duty game, there is one thing players truly crave. It isn't the single player story mode, or the competitive multiplayer game modes, or even the more recently included battle royale modes, although these are all great fun. Instead, players are itching to try their hands at whatever the latest incarnation of Call of Duty Zombies is, and now that's coming to Call of Duty: Mob
