Many of these mods either enhance the gameplay, or they add new features into the game entirely. However, this doesn’t mean that some of the mods out there should have never—and I mean never—been created. No Dirty Caucasian Female Bodies...
Apparently we’ve reached that point in the future where it’s news that a consumer electronics product will come with an “off” switch. Before the slow-news-day accusations start rolling in, it’s important to note that the following information isn’t actually something that could have been taken for granted. Microsoft’s reveal presentation of their next-gen console, the Xbox One, highlighted the integration of the Kinect with the console and the new voice command system which means that users will no longer have to get down on their hands and knees to power up their entertainment system, but can instead simply say “Xbox on” and bring it to life....
The Fallout franchise is one of the most popular series in gaming. Well before Bethesda took the reigns of the series, Interplay had created a groundbreaking point and click post-nuclear game. So it is likely that many of you know at least a few of these interesting things to do in Fallout. My intention is purely selfish. I want to talk about all the things that surprised me in Fallout over the years....

The holiday-inspired patch includes new pets, eleven legendary items, quality of life improvements, and plenty of wintery loot for you to discover.

Eurogamer video producer and presenter Zoe Delahunty-Light has created a size chart of some notable big boys (and girls) in the Resident Evil universe, with Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield acting as a baseline. Chris Redfield is tall, at least by real-life standards, but compared to those in the Resident Evil world? Not so much. He’s 6ft 11 (unless we’re talking Wentworth Miller who is 6ft) which, sure, is quite a feat, but Mr....
Historically speaking, gaming television channels haven’t really done that great in terms of viewership. That’s probably because most gamers would rather be playing games than watching TV, but also because Twitch and YouTube sort of satisfies all our desire for gaming-related content already. Ubisoft seems to think they can outdo game streamers on various platforms with their new gTV gaming channel. Launching this Thursday on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Twitch, gTV will provide original programming about games and gamers every week....

October looks a lot different than it did only a few weeks ago. As the month many movie theater owners were hanging their hats on with the hope of a weekly deluge of new movies , October has recently been vacated by high profile features that include Wonder Woman 1984, Death on the Nile, and Candyman. Yet if you’re a cinephile or movie lover who is desperate for new stories and visions, it is not all doom and gloom....
Next to gameplay and graphics, music is one of the main things that can really enhance the gaming experience, and throughout the industry composers work to create the best soundtracks possible for their games. Sometimes, though, gamers might want to shake things up and choose their own music to listen to while they play. With that in mind, Valheim developer Iron Gate Studio has a recommendation to help them get in the mood for a suitably epic viking adventure....

Yesterday’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II debut trailer finally confirmed the long-held suspicion that the new game is set (partially) in the future. From an elderly Sgt. Frank Woods, we learn that in the year 2025, America’s advanced weaponry is hijacked and turned against the very people it was designed to protect. That said, the future as portrayed in Black Ops II isn’t some random collection of sci-fi tropes and outlandish weaponry; rather, the game aims to present a believable look at warfare in the near future, extrapolated from the technologies and tensions of today....

Stephane Roussel, CEO of Parisian developer and Vivendi subsidiary Gameloft, spoke to the French press about the situation last week....
Virtual Reality is amazing. It can also be a pain. Between diving into an incredible medium of interactivity and figuring out how to get everything working properly, your first few months with a headset may vary between fun and frustration. What’s more, not everyone’s experience will be the same. There are a lot of different headsets with different capabilities and motion sickness differs widely from person to person. The good news is, it may not be as expensive as you might think to get into VR gaming....

As you carve a path through the game’s various planets, you’ll constantly be grinding to unlock new weapons, frames, and cosmetics.
