One of the bigger Microsoft owned studios to skip out on the event was The Initiative. Created in the heart of Santa Monica, California, The Initiative is a studio made up of tons of industry veterans including its head, Darrell Gallagher. In addition to Halo: Infinite , more than a few fans expected to finally get an update on what the veteran studio has been crafting, especially after numerous reports indicated the studio would be there . However, it wasn't meant to be and players will have to wait a bit longer to hear from t

Gears Tactics is an ambitious spinoff that doesn’t necessarily innovate, but it does succeed in taking the turn-based strategy genre head-on. The game’s presentation is quality, reflecting classic, core Gears elements. Although the gameplay flattens out by forcing repetitive mission types – extensive customization, immersive storytelling, and overall polish earns Splash Damage and The Coalition a tip of the

Now, going for missions successfully in this game is all about understanding the different types of monsters, their behaviors as well as knowing the capabilities of your classes. Acquiring extra action points via executions or abilities can help a gamer give enemies a run for their money. At the same time, some weapon modes blended with Overwatch can make sure that a good number of enemies are either interrupted or locked down. Technically, if a player knows what to look for, just like the professor in Netflix's Money Heist or Valorant they can do the magic. To help with that, here are some pro tips on how to not only achieve victory with the game, but also enjoy

Arguably one of the busiest studios on this list and likely a big reason why Microsoft made the decision to purchase it in the first place is Obsidian Entertainment. Following the launch of the Fallout inspired experience known as The Outer Worlds last year, the studio revealed the first of two planned expansions called Peril on Gorgon . In addition to a new planet and narrative, the trailer showed off new weapons and a level cap increase b

At the July 23 showcase, Double Fine revealed it had again partnered with Jack Black, showing a scene where Black sings during a really trippy segment of gameplay. While it was nice seeing the game being shown off again, the studio also dropped some unfortunate news by confirming the game suffered another delay, this time into 2

The character-driven story in Gears Tactics is more compelling, and allows for voiced characters whose banter is amusing at times. For a player’s first play-through, this method of storytelling allows for a more interesting narrative, but the player will already know the story on subsequent play-throughs. In XCOM , each game is different. The soldiers will be different, the player can build their base in a different country, and the locations under attack will be different. Additionally, a player could focus on different avenues of research and technology (or psionics) than in previous playthroughs. This makes XCOM infinitely more replaya

Yes, Gears Tactics too has emergence holes! They spew enemies in turns until they expire or they are closed. Note that enemies popping out of the emergence holes can attract characters immediately they spawn. A strategically located grenade can help solve this issue, though an ally will have to be relatively close. Another idea is to plant a grenade on the e-holes before enemies pop quickly. They will close immediately they o
