“Alienware knows gaming is the great equalizer and gamers come in all shapes, sizes and ages. They’ve teamed up with actor and gamer Chloe Grace Moretz on a three-part video series, the first of which she competes alongside Achievement Hunter on Alienware PCs to play one of today’s hottest games, Rocket League,” the video description posted on Alienware’s YouTube channel explained. Those interested to see the entire series can catch the videos on Alienware.TV.
In a phone interview with Mashable, Moretz shared that through this collaboration with Alienware and Dell, she aims to challenge the common perception about “gamers.”
“It’s another form of sexism to say girls don’t game,” she said. “It’s unfair. Gaming is such a fun experience, I really wanted to show that in the web series — that it’s not aggressive, it’s not masculine. It’s just fun.”
Developed and published by Psyonix, Rocket League was first made available to the gaming world July of last year for PS4 and PC. This year, its Xbox One, OS X and Linux versions were finally released. In this game, “players are equipped with booster-rigged vehicles that can be crashed into balls for incredible goals or epic saves across multiple, highly-detailed arenas.”
“Using an advanced physics system to simulate realistic interactions, Rocket League relies on mass and momentum to give players a complete sense of intuitive control in this unbelievable, high-octane re-imagining of association football.”
One of the cool features highlighted by Rocket League is its extensive Battle-Car customization offering a whopping hundred billion plus possible combinations. Various game modes are also available such as Snow Day, Mutators, Rocket Labs and Hoops. Furthermore, a split-screen mode of up to four players can be used locally or online. An up to 8-player online action play in Rocket League also awaits fans of multiplayer gaming.
As for other games already in Halloween spirit, Polygon reported that Blizzard’s team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game Overwatch is currently holding an event to celebrate the eerie season. Called Halloween Terror and available on PS4, PC, and Xbox One, it allows the players to earn holiday-themed skins such as a witch outfit for Mercy and Frankenstein’s Monster version of Roadhog. A new Brawl mode, Junkenstein Revenge, is another exciting highlight of Halloween Terror, which is set to run until November 1.
