[embed]https://youtu.be/7DTV8-xNwHM[/embed] by Michael Robb This review is based on the Xbox One version of the game. After eight long years of eager anticipation, the real time strategy game Halo Wars 2 has finally been released for the Xbox One and, for the first time since Combat Evolved released in 2001, a Halo game is available on the PC as well. Like its predecessor, Halo Wars 2 delivers fluid, easy to master controls and explosive, large scale battles. The opening scenes inHalo Wars 2 do a tremendous job of setting up the story and getting the player invested in the characters. Captain Cutter and Spartan Red Team take on a much more prominent role than they did in the first game, and a new Brute character, Atriox, is shaping up to be one of the greatest villains the franchise has had in a long time. Additionally, the cinematics are extremely well done and blur the line between live-action and CGI. Despite a stellar introduction, the narrative for Halo Wars 2 suffers in the long run. The events that transpire in the game don’t move the story forward in any kind of meaningful way, and the ending is abrupt and offers little in the way of resolution. In spite of several story pitfalls, Halo Wars 2 delivers in the area that matters most: fun, responsive, and easy to pick up gameplay. The intuitive console controls from the original game return in the sequel, and the graphics receive a major overhaul that make every explosion pop. A large variety of units allow players to formulate a broad number of unique strategies, and with seven selectable leaders, each with their own unique abilities and traits, you can be sure that no two matches will be exactly same. In addition to the classic Deathmatch and Domination game modes present in the first game, Halo Wars 2 includes a brand new multiplayer mode: Blitz. Rather than build up bases and train units on the ground, Blitz introduces a card based system for spawning units. While the game mode is fun at first, the lack of multiple maps and card variety lead to a very predictable and repetitive experience when compared to the base game.

by Emily Reuben Disclaimer: This playthrough was performed on an Intel i7-6700 with a GTX 1080 graphics card. This review is based on alpha build 1.2 of Decksplash. From the folks who brought the world the physics-based fun of Surgeon Simulator and I Am Bread comes Bossa Studio’s newest foray into the gaming market: Decksplash. The concept lies somewhere between Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater’s Graffiti mode and Splatoon. Teams of three funky, riderless skateboards are matched together online to see who can cover the most ground in their team’s paint. The bigger the combo, the more area is covered once the skateboard lands. Careful not to let that combo go on too long though, because every player has a strategic combo breaker that radiates out from the player’s board, and if an opponent is caught in the blast mid-combo, the whole combo gets restarted. Alpha build 1.2 featured one small map of a skate park with various rails and ledges to grind, some quarter pipes, and even a few gaps to clear. After selecting “play online match”, the player’s lobby has free roam of the skate park, allowing players to familiarize themselves with the precise details of the competitive arena. While matchmaking took much longer than it should have, it was apparent it was because there were too few people playing at once and not the result of server issues or laggy connections. The physics of the game is definitely arcade, something to expect from Bossa Studios’ previous work. However, the physics don’t always feel natural. Jumping provides a lot of vertical lift, but traversing a halfpipe is nearly impossible. Luckily, the combos are based around grinds and flips, which can be linked quite expertly after a bit of practice. Landing was always difficult to get right, but never felt unfair. All in all, Decksplash looks like it will be a good game. If the full game plays like this alpha, with exciting matches that come down to the wire and even more amusing designs, this could fill a niche similar to Rocket League. More information on updates, future alpha builds, betas, and more can be found at https://www.decksplashgame.com/, on Twitter (@DecksplashGame), or on Facebook.

MUNCIE, IN (Newslink Indiana) -- For what seems like the first time in this calendar year we actually saw some measurable snowfall throughout the day on Wednesday. Most places around the Muncie area saw anywhere from 1-3 inches of snowfall, which made the roads a bit slushy. This is going to be cause for concern during the overnight and morning hours as it will make commuting to work or school a bit tricky, so give yourself some extra time to get where you need to be. Friday we will see some sunshine return with temperatures beginning to work their way up in to the upper 40s. Weekend temperatures will hangout in the upper 50s, but there is a 70% chance of rain on Sunday. Monday we will see sunshine return to the forecast as temperatures begin to drop a bit. Tuesday will be a pleasant Valentine's day with the high temperature being in the upper 40s, light winds, and plenty of sunshine. Wednesday temperatures will drop to around 37 degrees with a bit more cloud cover working its way back in ahead of our next rain chance later into next week.
https://soundcloud.com/user-519363288/the-coven-s2e13-watching-over-overwatchs-diversity Overwatch has become one of the most played online games. It breaks the mold of typical shooters in many ways, one of the most obvious being it's wide array of characters. These characters are diverse in culture, body type, gender, and even sexuality. The game recently celebrated Lunar New Year, giving some representation to countries like China and Korea which celebrate the holiday. Some have argued that this could be construed as culturally appropriative? After the release of a winter holiday comic, it has been revealed that Tracer, effectively the face of Overwatch, is gay. We discuss how important this is in terms of representation and who might be the other queer character(s). Real girls have diverse body types. Overwatch girls do too! We celebrate that, the Lunar New Year, and all our favorite ships on this heroic episode of The Coven.
