Epic Games is giving away the Castlevania Anniversary Collection for free! I remember spending many hours playing the original Castlevania on the Nintendo NES. One of my all time favorites. Now you can get it and 'Castlevania II Simon's Quest', Castlevania III Dracula's Curse', Super Castlevania IV', Castlevania The Adventure', Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge', Castlevania Bloodlines', Kid Dracula' (never released in English before), 'History of Castlevania - Book of the Crescent Moon' at no charge to keep forever!
Ok. Too far back, Blizzard. The reveal is Overwatch Classic but the release version will be only the original 21 heroes so sadly no Orisa or Anna or any of the later heroes. Skins will be limited to original skins. For the first three weeks, there will be no hero limits so there can be 6 RoadHogs so look for total mayhem in some rounds. The original 12 maps are back at least so control and assault maps are back and none of those push the robot maps. The maps will have all their latest reworks though. It is an event and will only be available November 12 to December 2 but if everybody jumps in and shows some love maybe it will be added as a regular game mode. They do mention this being the first round so hopefully we will see later versions of the game. I'd prefer it to be the final version before Overwatch 2 launched but we'll have to wait and see how the event is received to see what Blizzard does. For more information, Check out this post on the official Overwatch site.
The Overwatch YouTube Channel is promoting the premiere of a trailer coming November 11. Rumors are it is for Overwatch Classic. Hopefully it isn't just 6v6 with the current game. There have been news updates that 6v6 is coming back but with all the new heroes that keep being added, the heroes would require rebalancing all the time. If Overwatch Classic is released, hopefully it is locked to what the original Overwatch was just before the switch to the free to play Overwatch 2. That would be cool with me. And bring back the previous Bastion and Orisa. I'm even fine with them not including the robot push maps. Maybe through in the two control points maps they took out of rotation too. I still think this has something to do with the upcoming release of Marvel Rivals. Is the Overwatch player base dying anturally? Is Blizzard worried a competing game similar to the original Overwatch may take away some of their players? Although the joke is on Marvel Rivals as I may be over that game before it even comes out if they are letting people play it currently and master it before I can even get in so I can get schooled by all these pros who already know all the secrets. Check back in two days to find out what the trailer reveals!
I'm a little behind on this but last week Mojang released the Bundles of Bravery update for Minecraft. Now you can carry around a bundle to keep a bunch of miscellaneous items in your inventory. So when you are out mining and find a few random items but can't carry any more because your inventory is full, you can throw them in your bundle. Sweet! The bundles will hold a full stack of something so there's no point in putting a stack of cobblestone in there but if you have five diamonds, three emeralds, a bunch of seeds, mushrooms, whatever, you can throw them in the bundle and make room for your other treasures. The update also includes hardcore mode on Realms but I think I'm gonna pass on that. If you die once, it's game over and you can never play on that world again. No thanks.
If you did not get it the last couple of timmes it has been the free game of the week on the Epic Games site, 'Ghostwire: Tokyo' is available again this week for free! I should play this but I have not had time lately for any gaming but according to the site, it has `Great Boss Battles` and is `Great for Beginners`. And who doesn't like that?
Also available for free is 'Witch It'. This looks like a fun game to play with your friends with multiple game modes including Hide and Seek that the kids like to play on modded Minecraft servers.
