StarCraft support? A far cry from a Warcraft assassin Blizzard promised that 2017 would be a good year for supports inHeroes of the Storm, and they’re making good on that promise with Alexei Stukov. Yes theStarCraftInfested Terran is back, and although he doesn’t seem like a dedicated healer he does have a secondary support feel to him. Stukov relies on infesting his teammates for heals, which spread across allies, ensuring that players will have to adapt to tighter formations to get the full effect....

Physics! It’s not every day I see a tech demonstration and have the immediate reaction of “I want to play this!” but that’s the power of destruction. Specifically, mouse clicking-induced destruction. Take a look at this NVIDIA GDC 2013 demo running on a GTX 680 to see what I mean. It’s a real shame that — to my knowledge, anyway — no one has really continued on the path of meaningful environmental destruction that theRed Factionseries did so well....

In a new trailer, Little Bat Games revealed a bit more of their upcoming mental health-’em-up,Vampire Therapist. It’s going to take every ounce of my concentration not to accidentally writeVampire Survivors. Vampire Therapistputs you in the boots of a vampire who is also a therapist. And also a cowboy, for some reason. Apparently, centuries of experience have done nothing to fortify the well-being of the undead, so they, too, need some therapy....

Reggie claims system is selling out too quickly Nintendo of America’s minestrone president, Reggie Fils-Aime, hastaken to CNETto proclaim the Wii U a sellout and reveal the sale of 400,000 units since launch last Sunday. For comparison, the Wii was also able to get another 300,000 sales during the same period. 250,000 3DS and 275,000 DS systems were sold, numbers Fils-Aime attributed to “significant” discounts available on Black Friday.

This substantial expansion is set for release on November 15 I’ve put 30 hours intoXCOM: Enemy Unknownand I still suck at it. I’m losing soldiers left, right, and center but maybe that’s the game’s appeal. Still, I’m hankering for new enemies to fight so the upcomingEnemy Withinlooks really appealing — especially the addition of a new human enemy faction called Exalt. Our own Steven Hansen was able toplay some ofEnemy Within’smissionsand found the Exalt soldiers a challenge to fight which sounds good....

See it with your own eyes The written review forThinkgeek’s Pro Controller U(ugh I can’t stand that name) detailed my issues with the controller, but I felt to really drive them home, a video needed to be created. They’re the kind of problems that can be detailed in text, but seeing them in action just works so much better. As you can tell from the video, the controller has a few hefty issues which make games pretty much unplayable....

Now you’ve got my attention [Update: Official trailer added. Extinction is described as a “1-4 player cooperative game mode featuring a unique blend of fast-paced survival action, FPS base defense, scavenging and class leveling.” Get to the chopper.] I’ve always found Treyarch’sZombies modeto be a fun bonus for the studio’s otherwise fairly seriousCall of Dutygames and have longed for Infinity Ward to offer something similar in its titles. Seems we may be getting exactly that inCall of Duty: Ghostsif an image of a loading screen for “Extinction” (shown below for the spoiler averse) is to be believed....
