Overwatch’s season 1 Conquest event came to a close a few weeks ago. We knew Overwatch won the competition straight away, although it was close, but now we know the exact number of players who actually stayed loyal to Winston’s cause, and it’s not great. As it turns out only 32% of all the Conquest…
I played a good few hours of 007 First Light last week, and I encourage you to click that link and read all about what I thought of them. But my time with Jim Bond sparked other thoughts. Thoughts that probably don’t belong in a preview. Thoughts like: What if James Bond just shouldn’t be…

A Direct? In mid-June? Groundbreaking. June has only just arrived, but the rumour mill has already started turning with rumblings of an upcoming Nintendo Direct (thanks, Nintendo Everything).
