Blizzard has been able to recreate and reimagine characters and worlds from their existing IP for ages, so it's been nice seeing them flex their creative muscles with a new IP and a new set of faces.
The latest additions to the developer's team-based competitive shooter are painfully stereotypical, however. They're Australian. They're a little unhinged. And in a futuristic Earth that is supposedly more akin to the one we're living in, Overwatch's latest heroes come from an apocalyptic wasteland.
Two games dependent on physical toys that interface via magical portals? Of course it's tempting the drop a Skylander down on the Infinity base to see what happens, but we don't. Not if we want happiness to survive.
Today's new trailer for the upcoming and final Call of Duty: Black Ops II expansion, Apocalypse, once again shows why the world would benefit from an old World War I trench warfare planes-and-blimps-and-giant-robot Call of Duty. Just look at this GIF we pulled from it!
We want it. We have to have it. Our desire for it burns like the heat of a thousand suns, but what would happen if Nintendo did make a Pokemon MMO? Gaming humour site Dorkly may be on to something here. I doubt even Valve's Gabe Newell could save us.
Mood is such an important thing in a nuclear apocalypse; a detail that is so easy to forget. That’s something that’s painfully palpable in the first hour of Metro: Last Light
Minecraft aficionado Tsarcorp is the one responsible for this gigantic, 109sqkm map of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. It incorporates an almost 1:1 replica of the Pripyat area, just as we've seen in the latest S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Oh those lovely hometowns, starting villages... Their peaceful and harmonious atmosphere ensures that there's nothing to worry about; our journey is yet to begin. And then suddenly, it's all gone, leaving behind nothing but dust. And sometimes a bit of fire.
Post-apocalyptic worlds in video games don't necessarily have to be grimdark, depressing or colourless. There are many fine examples where the game's design either moves beyond these tropes, or develops them to perfection. We have collected a few of them below.
Maybe it's because Little Inferno doesn't present the side of Armageddon that we're used to seeing in games, but you might not even pick up on its apocalyptic storyline. Yet as I burned prize after prize in my Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace, a thought tugged at the back of my mind: why am I doing this?
Those poor Mayans. All this time we've been pointing to their broken calendar with anxiety and dream, when we really should have been pointing at completely plausible alien-based religion created by a science fiction author. Do you think there'll be Tom Cruise? Oh yeah, there'll be Tom Cruise.
Most pop-culture apocalypses crank up the volume, right? Whether it's alien invasions or natural disasters, the end of civilisation as we know it tends usher in a whole lot of noise pollution. So, the palpable silence left by mankind's near-extinction happens so quietly is one of the best things about The Massive.
This gorgeous monstrosity was once an Antec Lanboy Air, which is lovely but hardly capable of surviving a nuclear holocaust. Mod Brothers Podcast host Kyle Van Der Mewre and Mnpctech's Bill Owen saw fit to fix that, and fix it they did.
Today is the Rapture, according on one Harold Camping, a minister who sounds like Vincent Price and looks like a pickle in a deep fryer. All the Christians will be spirited to heaven, while the rest of us will be left to suffer the tribulations of the coming apocalypse. Babylon Surf City, let's go!
