Despite what you’ve heard, the post-apocalypse rebuild doesn’t need settlements. It doesn’t need camaraderie or hope or faith in humanity. It certainly doesn’t need an ex-military vet wild goose chasing around an irradiated Boston in search of his missing kin. Galejro’s Age of Airships Fallout 4 mod aims to deliver the “golden age of rigid airships” to the Commonwealth, with 12 flying vessels, a cruiser and three missions that span the 1920s and ’30s. Creator Galejro notes Fallout 4’s Far Harbou

Following Twitter person Nibel’s meticulous HTML detective work last month, Square Enix confirmed Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s September 14 release date. The following short doesn’t contain much in-game footage, but does show Lara Croft doggedly hauling herself up a cliff, pegging it through crumbling tombs, and hunting enemies in a jungle scene reminiscent of Predator. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider Lara Croft has raided one tomb too many and triggered the apocalypse by removing a sacred dagger fr

At a glance, Austin billed Murderous Pursuits as “Dishonored by way of Assassin’s Creed”. Murderous Pursuits is a suitably chaotic “kill-or-be-killed stealth-em-up multiplayer” spiritual successor that streamlines its forerunner’s core mechanics. After last weekend’s beta, players compared Murderous Pursuits to the likes of BioShock, Assassin’s Creed, Dishonored and Hitman on your Discord. One of my favourite things about Murderous Pursuits wasn’t murdering marks or winning—it was roleplaying as

I try the leap anyway and fall into the water, where I am somehow impaled by spikes. This time I leap at the wall, clamber up onto the raised edge and use it as a narrow path to the next platform. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider Lara Croft has raided one tomb too many and triggered the apocalypse by removing a sacred dagger from its resting place. It’s a nice turnaround from the gruelling suffering of the first of the three Tomb Raider reboots, and I’m genuinely interested to see how Lara will carr

As you might’ve spied on the interwebs, Alien Day was yesterday—a day 20th Century Fox first earmarked in 2016 (in-line with the second film’s 30th anniversary) to celebrate all things Alien. The day itself has been and gone, but both Steam and Humble have extended Alien-related sales into the weekend. Savings on Alien: Isolation are easily the pick of the deals—selling on both outlets for £7.49/$9.99 with a 75 percent discount. In his glowing 93-scored review, Andy billed Isolation as “the game

There will be a specific Exotic Masterwork upgrade for each Exotic weapon in the game, which will be available via a process that begins with the discovery of an Exotic Masterwork Catalyst. Exotic weapon descriptions will provide a hint about what activities grant the catalyst for each weapon: Some are guaranteed to drop “after a certain amount of engagement,” while others will appear at random. Once the catalyst is applied, orb generation and kill tracking will begin immediately, as they do wit

(Image: © Intel)The closer we get to Cannon Lake, Intel’s next major processor update that die shrinks production to 10 nanometers, the further it seems to slip away. Unfortunately, that is the case once again—Intel announced today that it won’t be shipping 10nm processors in high volume this year, and instead is now targeting 2019. So rather than push to ship 10nm in volume this year, Intel is giving itself some additional time to sort things out. It should also be noted that Intel is actually

With the final appeal of its loss in the lawsuit filed against it by Australia’s Competition and Consumer Commission having come to naught, Valve has posted an Australian Consumer Rights Notice on Steam, acknowledging the error of its ways and informing gamers down under of their rights and responsibilities as determined by the laws of their homeland. The suit was filed by the ACCC in 2014 over Steam’s lack of a refund policy, which Australian consumers are guaranteed under law. “When you buy vi

Rina, the infamous zombie wife of King’s Bounty, in her goth phase. King’s Bounty: The Legend was actually a reboot of the 1990 precursor to the Heroes of Might and Magic series, the original King’s Bounty. “After looking at the initial game design, we realized that it was somewhat similar to the old King’s Bounty,” says Baryshnikov. When asked about the future of the series, Baryshnikov is excited and optimistic: “I have played thousands of hours of the King’s Bounty series. I don’t have specif

If you’re the sort of shooter fan who looks upon a game like Day of Infamy as too casual to bother with even when it’s free, you’ll be happy to know that Arma 3, Bohemia Interactive’s realistic modern combat FPS, is also free to play this weekend on Steam. The freebie actually started a few hours ago, and will run until 10 am PT/1 pm ET on April 30. It includes the full base game, with all “vanilla” weapons and vehicles, plus the Scenario Editor, all multiplayer modes, and the Bootcamp Prologue

The Animus control panel for Assassin’s Creed Origins arrived this month, and it lets players cheat their butts off. A console setting lets you lead up to five tamed animals at once, and I want all five of them to be hippos. With a few loyal hippos, a few angry hippos, and a few sleeping hippos, it all gets a bit messy. Making things worse, at one point the three or four hippos I’ve tamed suddenly lose their loyalty and begin attacking me again. Turns out, sadly, hippos don’t really make the bes

H1Z1 publisher Daybreak Game Company, formerly known as Sony Online Entertainment, has confirmed that an unknown number of employees have been laid off. The cuts come less than two months after H1Z1, an early battle royale game, went free to play, a shift which itself happened just over a week after it launched as a premium game. “Daybreak remains focused on publishing and developing large-scale online games and will continue to service our existing and long-standing games and franchises.” #newb

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds update 12 is a “big one,” with a new map selection menu, improvements to the Miramar map, a muscular new vehicle called the Mirado, and the usual array of tweaks and bug fixes. There’s also a major focus on weapon balance changes, which PUBG Corp said will necessitate a longer wait for this update to go from the test server to live. “We’re going to keep the changes on the test server for longer than we normally would,” the studio said. “We’ll be listening and and ma

It’s been a wild week for the scrappy band of pirates who cracked Halo Online, an aborted, Russia-only remix of Halo 3 for PC. There’s definitely an authenticity fetish at play behind the scenes of Halo Online, a slavish devotion to recreating the Halo 3 experience exactly as it was, regardless of the present-day context in which Halo Online now exists. Embracing that idealized, higher-skill, weapon-sandbox-be-damned version of Halo has made Halo Online a draw for so many old fans. Embracing tha

(Image: © YouTube via AMD)AMD has posted a video to YouTube that explains in fairly simple terms the new features found in its recently released second generation Ryzen processors. Specifically, the video goes over AMD’s XFR 2 (eXtreme Frequency Range 2) and Precision Boost 2 technologies. While neither feature is particularly difficult to grasp, AMD’s Robert Hallock does a good job in breaking things down into simple terms, aided by diagrams on a whiteboard. Precision Boost 2, meanwhile, afford
