Also, she’s a dead ringer for the character’s look, which is always a p

The role calls for a veteran Japanese actor who is able to convincingly convey a scarred soul, which is why Hiroyuki Sanada is the clear pick. Sanada has appeared as a warrior who sticks to the ancient ways many times in previous films ( 47 Ronin , The Wolverine ), leaving no doubt as to his ability to bring Hanzo to l

There's always been a simple pleasure that comes from hopping into a digital world and shooting your friends. From Doom , to Goldeneye, to Halo , many of the greatest video games ever made allow you to enter a digital battlefield and wage war against your fellow combatants. Overwatch is the latest major entrant into that proud genre. Like other shooters that came before, part of the joy of Overwatch comes from being able to prove your worth in a competitive arena.

Dragon Age: Inquisition was the game that would hopefully right the wrongs o f Dragon Age 2 and its much-criticized combat system. Unfortunately, the game didn't quite do that at launch and instead gave Dragon Age fans more to be angry ab

Skill ratings below 500 will no longer be displayed.

Developer Comments: We’ve noticed that some players have been deliberately throwing their matches in an effort to reach the lowest attainable skill rating. We obviously don’t want to incentivize this behavior, because Competitive Play works best when everybody is try

Unfortunately, players would have a hard time getting into that multiplayer, as The Master Chief Collection 's matchmaking has been notoriously terrible. Players were unable to get into matches – sometimes having to wait for hours – and although a patch was released following the game's release, it took more than a dozen patches to solve the problem once and for
