What is the MCAA? Minecraft College Football teams and viral memes

If you, like me, have spotted the #MCAA hashtag popping up on Twitter and TikTok, you likely weren’t able to guess it refers toMinecraft‘s very own college football league.

Amazon Game Studios reveals three ambitious new PC games

Breakaway, New World, and Crucible I can’t say I’ve given Amazon’smove into game developmentmuch attention, so perhaps my expectations were low coming in, but I like the sound of two of its three newly-announced PC titles. Breakawayhas the most to show and, unfortunately, I find it to be the least interesting of the bunch. The concept they’re going for is a four-on-four “mythological sport brawler” built for live-streaming. It’s a sportier twist on the popular hero-based team action game, with a different win condition (you’re taking down opposing players in service of scoring goals with a ball-like “relic”), and the ability to place structures (say, a catapult or a jail) onto the field....
