Despite some big changes happening with Overwatch lately, former game director Jeff Kaplan hasn’t touched it since the year he left Blizzard. In fact, he actively avoids the game in every way he can, he told GameSpot in a recent interview. Before Overwatch, Kaplan rose through the ranks on the World of Warcraft team, starting…
I got off to a bit of an awkward start with Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse when it first booted to a black screen. A few minutes of troubleshooting later, I deduced that the game wouldn’t display on a monitor with its refresh rate set higher than 120 Hz. Easily solved, but I kept thinking of that…

But just as the good guys (or bad guys) are about to pounce, he holds up the pin he’s pulled from the grenade under his coat, forcing everyone to back off! Escape is at…
