Gear Up. Play Hard.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is pretty infamous for being a huge critical flop, largely due to mismanagement by Gearbox software, with the end product being rushed, buggy and ultimately failing to live up to fan expectation.There's no better example of this issue than that found by the one of the developers of TemplarGFX's Overhaul mod, which aims to fix a lot o...

It's a question that actually comes up more often than not on our forums: "Which graphics card is best to run modded Fallout 4?"  It's a good question, too. Games that run mods often tend to perform worse than stock versions for various reasons. So what should you, as a modder, look for when buying a GPU? Given the recent instability in GPU pric...

I love Portal 2, and often revisit it for both some single player fun, with excellent voice acting from Ellen McLain and Stephen Merchant, and multiplayer hijinks with friends, that usually ends in games of rock, paper scissors followed by the unceremonious dunking into a radioactive pool of water.It's great news then that one long term mod that has been und...

It's no secret that I am a Sega guy at heart, but the game that really captured my heart in the mid-late 1990's was Super Mario 64. Unlike Sonic's 3D outing in Sonic Adventure, this was smooth, solid, unadulterated joy from start to finish, and is probably still my favourite 3D platformer of all time.And it's worth a re-visit from time to time, so it's great...

The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project is a mod created by HalkHoganPL (great username, brother), which is aiming to give a massive visual overhaul to the already amazing looking The Witcher 3, and the results are very, very impressive to say the least. Work has been progressing at a steady pace, and the new and improved textures, while slow work to replace du...

There's nothing I love more than a viral marketing ARGs (Augmented Reality Games). They don't always work out well, mind, I remember the time Sega scattered a load of realistic looking severed limbs around London holding copies of the newly released Madworld as a marketing stunt. That went well.Anyway, this past week, Fortnite decided to get onto the bandwag...

If you're looking forward to STALKER 2 but just can't wait until 2021, this amazing new mod for the original, based upon Call of Chernobyl, is going to keep you going for a little while.It's a total conversion of the game, from graphics, audio, special effects and changes to gameplay and AI. It's based on an earlier modification called Call of Misery, which...

The world cup is in full swing, and for this writer, his home team of England are actually putting on a pretty good showing this year. So what better time, if you have not already, to jump into the wonderful world of Rocket League?For those living under a rock, Rocket League is a blend between Micro Machines, Kerbal Space Program and European Football, where...

Skyrim is one of those rare third party AAA titles for the Nintendo Switch, and while there's certainly some novelty to being able to play the game on the go thanks to the Switch's two-in-one capabilities, there's no denying that it is more akin to the older generation of consoles, rather than the recently released Special Edition for next-gen and PC.One fea...
