Thanks to the next-gen update ofFallout 4that rolled out in April, the long-awaited and unofficial expansionFallout: Londonhad todelay release. This was a sad time for those who were eagerly awaiting the DLC-sized mod, but it looks like good news is on the way.

Maybe even Switch. But for now, PC and Xbox One in 2018....

Bring on the next generation When the PlayStation 5 ships on November 12, it’ll arrive with a built-in game:Astro’s Playroom. It’s a very smart move by Sony, to evoke the era of pack-ins and demo discs with this inclusion. AlthoughAstrois a breezy “few hour” adventure, it also showcases one of the PS5’s best features: the DualSense controller. Look, I’m probably going to be calling this the “DualShock 5”at some point....

A new tank, Mekko, is coming around launch With only a few more weeks to go before launch on March 24, the studio also showed a wacky new character. Not unlike certain other animal-in-a-mech combatants,Mekko the dolphinis a ranged tank with a sonar gun, bubble shield, and the ability to create Safety Zones that generate armor and lifesteal. Mekko can also attach a Lifeline to allies to take a percentage of their incoming damage, Surge forward to knock enemies around, and either send a Sonic Barrage as his super move or trap a foe in an Exclusion Bubble to disable them from the firefight until their teammates burst it open....

The developers don’t want us to overlook the posters If you’re anything like me, you’ve watched enough footage ofResident Evil 3and you’ll politely refuse to see any more.You’re good. But even still, you may want to catch this clip from a Capcom live-stream. The video should automatically start at the right timestamp, but if not, jump to 42:13. This developer footage is more of the same city scenes from the recent media blast, but it’s a little calmer, with more emphasis placed on details you might’ve missed in other videos – like all of the cool posters and artwork you can’t take the time to appreciate when it’s your save file on the line....

Codemasters was kind enough to send us some fancy “pre-alpha” screenshots of their upcoming multi-terrain racer,Fuel. Yup, another one-word-titled racing game,Fuelis said to feature the largest “level” every created in a racing game of its type. Codies is promising over 5,000 square miles of open-ended environments, along with full day/night cycles and a weather system that will bring rain, tornadoes, sandstorms, and … blizzards? As long as we don’t get the game confused with the 13 other off-road racing games with one word as its title, our attention is in the hands of Codemasters — the game does sound good on paper....

In its six year history,Dungeons & Dragons Onlinehas gone through a significant number of changes, not least of which was the change from a subscription model to free-to-play in 2009. But unlike many other titles in the genre — some of which are younger thanDDO— it has never received an expansion. Up until now, that is. Turbine has announced that this summer players will be able to leave Eberron, travel to the Forgotten Realms and venture into the Underdark in its first everexpansion: Menace of the Underdark....

Straight out of BlizzCon, Blizzard has shed some light on howBlizzard DOTAwill work. WithLeague of Legendsgoing strong, Valve’sDota 2on the way, and a score of DotA clones out there, it’s sometimes hard to imagine just how much you can vary on the formula. From differences to other DotA games, the game’s cost, to heroes, Blizzard offered some good chunks of information to help you wrap your head around it. Differences betweenBlizzard DOTAand other DotA games...

It’s a show that we could make if you want One idea was to bring backArt Hawk, a show thatTobiichiand I almost started years ago where a hawk explains that videogames are art. Thefirst episode was aboutGTA. Tobiichi just cut together a second episode aboutGears of War. We’ve got episodes aboutDead Rising,Tetris, andCandy Crushplanned. Is this the kind of thing you’d like so see more of? If so, any changes you’d like to see in the format?...

Sold Midnight City has announced the PC version ofDouble Dragon: Neonand the big new addition for Steam is the inclusion of online cooperative play. That’s more than enough reason to play this again, in part, for itskiller soundtrack. The brawler is coming soon to the platform for $9.99 and, what the hell, Max Scoville is in this trailer wearing a pizza shirt. I went intoNeonthinking it was dumb, and while I still believe that’s true, it wasn’t long at all before my cynicism melted away....
