Within its very first moments, Dirty Bomb immediately establishes its identity. This is a game with no controller support and a heavy emphasis on teamwork, and players quickly learn the importance of those two aspects as they spend time with the game. Thus, it targets a specific audience, one that grew up with PC shooters and developed quick trigger fingers. It creates a sense of familiarity, but Dirty Bomb attempts to carve its own path with a free-to-play model and a heavy emphasis on objectives. Time to leave those kill/death ratios behind.

The fine folks over at Bethesda have decided to tease the gaming world by launching a teaser site for what is almost certainly Fallout 4.
The studio posted the following message on Twitter:
Fallout 4 has been rumored for quite some time, and with Bethesda holding a press conference at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, it's safe to assume we'll get a proper reveal later this month.
[Update] Nintendo has spoken out in response to the rumors that NX will be Android based, denying such reports.

A new LEGO game appeared on Steam this morning, and it looks to be a creation-based sandbox experience much like Minecraft.

Blizzard has labeled its heroes with a difficulty rating, but in most cases it's inaccurate— i.e. Kael'Thas isn't even close to being Easy. As a seasoned veteran I'm going to introduce you to five of Heroes of the Storm's most simple yet effective heroes.
Microsoft has unveiled a new trailer (above) for the much-anticipated, Xbox One-exclusive successor to the Tomb Raider 2013 reboot, along with a shot of the icy, cavernous box art.
The trailer shows Lara Croft fueling her need for danger and exploration, climbing a frozen mountainside to what seems to be a lost temple.

The answer is no one has any fucking idea. Anime voice acting sounds like porn, torture, and at its pinnacle, both. Hit that video above to see what I mean. Yeah. What is the reasoning behind those first four seconds? There isn't one. I defy you to find one.
She is, of course, a maid. She's being shown castle building in the next Fire Emblem. The game is called Fire Emblem If and the feature is called "My Castle."
Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is just three weeks from release. While many players are most excited for the areas and classes that the expansion will bring, the addition of new skills to the existing roster of 10 jobs is perhaps equally as exciting.
