April 14, 2019Fortnite Battle Royale has joined the ranks of bona fide cultural crazes. It is and will be to the 20-teens what Cabbage Patch Kids and Rubik’s Cubes were to the 1980s: an improbable, unpredictable behemoth of runaway success. It is not only played by millions daily, but also by way of penetrating the cultural zeitgeist, it is known far and wide among parents and TV watchers who have never so much as picked up a game controller. Even non-gaming people just know about it, and don’t even know how they know. Make sure to check out this list of popular HP OMEN Gaming Laptops to play Fortnite.

There’s no denying the thrill that comes with human competition. Nothing beats jumping into a game against real-life people, connected through signals and wires across the internet, all in a shared virtual space to see who is better than whom.

January 31, 2019There’s no denying the thrill that comes with human competition. Nothing beats jumping into a game against real-life people, connected through signals and wires across the internet, all in a shared virtual space to see who is better than whom. Online first-person shooter (FPS) games deliver an adrenaline rush and millions of players log in each day to do battle to get it. Battle royales, team battles, capture the flag battles, all in an endless series of skirmishes and rounds. There are downsides, too. Like Jean-Paul Sartre said in No Exit, “Hell is other people.” Sometimes it is frustrating to be playing against folks who take delight in ruining other people’s days. Those so-called “Griefers” camp out in unfair spots in games, knocking out players as they respawn for cheap points, kill-stealing, being away-from-keyboard (AFK) in a squad, and just collecting experience from others’ efforts

January 30, 2019There’s that old question: “If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?” It might, but without a listener, what good is a sound anyway? Similarly, if you pull off a great move in a game, or defeat a boss-monster against all odds with only one sliver of health left for yourself, and nobody’s there to see it, does it even really count?

Similarly, if you pull off a great move in a game, or defeat a boss-monster against all odds with only one sliver of health left for yourself, and nobody’s there to see it, does it even really count? Sometimes, you need a buddy (or five) to make a fun gaming session feel worthwhile. That’s where co-op games come in. Co-ops are not competitions. They’re things you can play with other people, not against other people. What the best co-op games offer is camaraderie, teamwork, and sometimes, if you totally slip up, the comfort of your friends being on hand to save the day and do the hard work of winning for you.

December 02, 2018For a fast, team-based, and multi-player squad vs. squad match-battle, first-person shooter game, Overwatch certainly has a lot of thought put into its backstory and character designs. But this is what should be expected. Overwatch is the first shooter game developed by industry giant Blizzard Entertainment and everything it does has massive attention to gameplay, style, and story.

September 14, 2018The era of the battle royale game is upon us, thanks in no small part to last year’s wildly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (also known as PUBG) and the more recent, and even more successful, Fortnite. The battle royale genre began with mods for large-scale online survival games like Minecraft before becoming popularized with standalone games such as PUBG and Fortnite.
