Fallout 4 Then Versus Now: A Very Unscientific Screenshot Comparison

Call me gullible, or curious, or something in between, but thanks to the new Amazon Fallout series, I have joined the throngs in returning to the Fallout games’ various wastelands. The TV show, enjoyable as it is, however, is only one part of the bandwagon equation. The other is that Bethesda released last week its…

Helldivers 2 to See Several Weapon Tweaks Soon

As fun as it is, Helldivers 2 isn’t without its flaws. What the team over at Arrowhead has accomplished with the game so far is absolutely commendable, but I’d be lying if I said that the bug list wasn’t becoming distracting, especially the ones affecting some of the weapons.

My Changing Tides as a Video Game Player

Though my familiarity with video games goes back to the mid-1980s, it was not until the late 2000s that I began to think of myself as a regular “player.” I personally mark that changeover to the moment when I was first introduced to expansive, narrative-driven, choice-heavy games via Fable. Before this, I played primarily platfomers…

Dredge Might Be Getting a Movie

When it comes to movies based on video games, typically it’s only the biggest and most famous series that get considered. Yet, it looks like that might be changing. See, Dredge is now apparently in consideration for a full film adaptation. Setting the average (low) quality of video game-based movies, that’s kinda big.
