While more of the same methods of storytelling and a larger PvE focus are great, Blizzard should not stop there. The developer has something special with Overwatch, and if it wanted to, it could move away from the hero shooter mold with some spin-off games.

Then again … Tuesday night, the Blue Jays could not figure out the Yankees’ Michael Pineda, who held them scoreless through five innings.

A 2-1 defeat at Guingamp on Saturday represented PSG’s second successive away loss in Ligue 1 and made it one win in their last five games in all competitions, leaving the champions at risk of losing further ground on title rivals Nice and Monaco, who both play on Sunday.

It’s been included in past Blizzard releases like Warcraft II and the original StarCraft, and now spawning is available in StarCraft 2....

The posting, which appeared this morning, advertised that the game sales giant was now accepting pre-orders for a console version of the shooter....

Silently and without warning, a 120-mm mortar shell sailed into the crowd, hitting a table in the open-air market. It exploded with a ferocious blast, tearing heads and limbs from bodies and scattering arcs of blood for yards around. Some corpses were so badly dismembered that they couldn’t be identified as men or women. On one table lay the remains of flowers, shopping bags and a prosthetic leg-a surreal still life....
