Summary Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Vault Boy isn’t actually giving us a thumbs-up. Instead, the jolly little guy is actually comparing the size of a distant mushroom cloud to his thumb, to see if he’s safe from the blast. This has been passed around as fact in theFalloutfanbase for years, but in actual fact, it just isn’t true - the original creators of the series really just intended this to be a thumbs-up, nothing more....

Summary TheFalloutseries has given us some of the most engaging RPG experiences in gaming. The post-apocalyptic setting is ripe not only for unique stories, but different gameplay styles as well. As RPGs, Fallout lets you explore the Wasteland and engage in small-scale, personal adventures. However, having the series explore new genres would allow the scope to expand. It would allow you to see the Wasteland in an all new light, and engage with it in fresh ways, all the while taking place in the setting that we’ve come to know and love....

Sure, you’re surrounded by other Helldivers, and superior officers occasionally give you a pat on the back for collecting your samples andkilling bots like a good little soldier, but there are very few NPCs inHelldivers 2that actually have your back when things get tough. That’s probably why so many people have fallen for Eagle-1, a disembodied voice that peppers the battlefield with explosions when asked....

However, the maps and story of the game aren’t as cute as they seem; instead, they take a humorously dark direction. Flotsam Vale is one of these eerie areas.

Assassin’s CreedHexe, one of several Ubisoft games in development for the planned Assassin’s Creed Infinity service, is reportedly going to be “more linear” than previous entries in the series. Those two words immediately got my attention because (outside of spin-offs like Chronicles) Assassin’s Creed has always been open-world. Saying that an Assassin’s Creed game will be “more linear” is a little like saying it won’t take place in a distinct historical setting....

Theclosure of Arkane Austinhas me thinking about immersive sims a lot. Responsible forPreyandDishonored, two of the greatest games the genre has ever seen, the studio was keen to revisit its roots with another sequel to the latter before its doors were unceremoniously shuttered. It was never meant to be, and I can’t help but question the future of the immersive sims and whether we even exist in a landscape that can support them anymore....
