How Fallout 4 Mods Will Work On Console
Fallout 4 is gonna have mods on Xbox One and (hopefully) PS4. But consoles aren’t like PC’s wild, wild wasteland. There are rules. First, the good news: Bethesda wants there to be as little red tape as possible. Want to render your Fallout 4 save a smoking pile of irradiated scrap (that’s jealously guarded by…

Oculus Touch Controller Built For Games, Not VR Porn
Virtual reality porn is already a thing, and it will likely only get bigger with time. So what’s Oculus doing about it? Well, they’re not stopping it, if that’s what you’re worried about. Oculus wants the Rift to be open to whatever unforeseen applications people dream up, so you can put genitalia all up in…

Our First Glimpse Of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided In Action
Today Square Enix debuted the first in-game footage of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. As expected, it’s cyberpunk as fuck. The trailer is heavy on three things: 1) action, 2) the color black, 3) the color gold. The first part is a bit off-putting (Deus Ex is about out-sneaking and/or out-smarting, damn it), but it does…

New PS4 Game Lets You Build… Dreams?
Dreams is a game about building. Building dreams. It looks bizarre, but in a (I think?) good way. It’s from LittleBigPlanet creator Media Molecule. Their goal is to give people a set of tools that will enable them to build dream-like scenarios and share them with each other. Creation is based less on traditional video…

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Gets A Flashy CG Trailer
It’s not playable, but it is pretty cool looking. In it, Jacob and his crew, The Rooks, leap between stagecoaches, run across train rooftops, and steal members from other gangs by being too cool for school. Shit, they are probably even too cool to return to school at age 32 to finish those last few…

Grand Theft Auto V is not $20 on Steam right now. Despite multiple misleading listings on GTA’s Steam franchise page (they’re for cash card bundles), it’s still at regular price. Suddenly last week’s GTA price shenanigans look less benign. [Update: The issue has been resolved. Valve says it was a “technical error.”] GTA V’s price…

Rise Of The Tomb Raider Has Some Serious Next-Gen Ice
Microsoft just showed off more of Rise of the Tomb Raider during their press conference, and damn, that ice. Things get dicey quick with Lara scaling a frozen-un-solid cliffside and nearly falling to her doooooooom. But Rise of the Tomb Raider would be a pretty shitty name for a game exclusively about Lara Croft falling…

The Complicated Women Of The Witcher 3
When I think of how The Witcher 3 depicts women, handles sexism, and deals with other hot-button subject matter, I think of one quest: The Bloody Baron. Here’s the setup: Geralt of Rivia (the character you play) is searching for his lost adopted daughter, a woman named Ciri. Turns out she spent some time with…

A handful of games have been accused of it, but the truth of the matter isn’t so black-and-white. It all began with a series of angrily lobbed accusations on Reddit, stemming…

Too Bad Steam’s Summer Sale Game Is Kinda Broken
This year’s Steam Summer Sale comes with a twist: an entire game you can play to unlock new deals, trading cards, and the like. There’s just one problem: it’s not really doing the whole “working” thing at the moment. Monster Game, as it’s known, is playable in your browser. It’s kinda like once-you-pop-the-fun-don’t-stop-infesting-your-life-like-a-flesh-devouring-bacteria sensation Clicker…
