It took a full week, but a brave soul has finally stepped up to the plate and givenÂFallout: New VegasÂthe patch it’s truly needed since it released — the obligatory nudity patch! Now you can look at spinning demon heads and phantom keyboard with a massive parping boner in your soiled Scooby Doo underpants. Nudity mods are part and parcel of any PC game, fromÂLeft 4 Dead to The Sims. Where there are mod tools, breasts shall soon follow....

Last week‘s game debate put theRoller Coaster Tycoonseries against all of theSim Citygames. The result? A tie!! Boo! Hiss! We’ll have to come back to that debate some time in the future to settle things. This week’s debate is a lot less black and white, and it will surely hurt many gamers to make a choice between the three: Which of the first 3Warcraftgames is your favorite? Go ahead and include expansions along with their corresponding games....
MTVis reporting that third party publishers are seriously unhappy with Sony over its “bandwidth fee,” a policy instituted on Jun 24, 2025, that demands money for every piece of DLC released on the PlayStation Network. Since fall of last year, Sony has claimed 16 cents for every Gigabyte of content downloaded from the PSN, either for the first sixty days in the case of free content like demos, or forever in the case of paid downloads....
DMV:Now that I’m done playingGuilty Gear 2: Overture(thank God), I’ve moved onto going betweenDead Spaceand various PSN games, along with theResistance 2beta. Unlike Samit and seemingly everyone else, I am not enjoying it in the least. The Co-op missions play like this: I attempt to capture a point, a giant group of enemies spawn and kills me, then they proceed to camp out over my body and kill me 5 seconds after I’ve spawned....
Stranglehold? PAH. Don’t talk to me aboutStranglehold. Midway’s Woo-centric third-person shooter may have had gorgeous graphics and the Massive Destructoid engine, but I’ll tell you what it didn’t have: heart.* Total Overdose, the 2005 third-person shooter from Deadline Games, basically covers all the same ground asStranglehold(large scale, over-the-top gunfights), along with adding some pleasurable, if flawed,Grand Theft Auto-esque elements — and all in a wacky, fun, Robert Rodriguez-esque game world....
There’s something upgradable underneath all that hack and slash inDante’s Inferno. It’s called the ‘righteousness system,’ a gonzo moral choice-fueled way to earn skills and make Dante more powerful. This by the way of EA’s gamescom press conference. Players will be given the choice to follow a righteous or evil path, decided by the impact of choosing to ‘absolve’ or ‘punish’ wayward souls and villains. After the choice, a (moral)experience points are given, which can then be applied to a stat-bubble grid....
My mind is always blown at these kinds of promotions. It could be seen as risky to open up the playing field for anyone to become a character in your game. What if they’re really scary or strange? Do you want that in your game? Activision is taking the risk in a new “Get in the Game” promotion they have with GameStop. Pre-orderPrototype 2between now and September 1 and you could be chosen to win a trip for two to Radical Entertainment in Vancouver, Canada and become a character in the game....
I’m sure you’ve heardthat Hudson has closed its doors and all of their projects have been canceled. It’s one thing to say that Konami gobbled them up, but it’s another to hear the full story, which has been a decade in the making. The story found at The Kartel is a good one, and it’s told by someone who would know. A former high-level employee (and a great guy) takes you through the highs and lows....
