We’ve been seeing a lot more action from theFalloutfranchise since the Amazon TV show started airing, which is not really surprising. Since the adaptation was released, Bethesda has announced thenext-gen update forFallout 4, and we’re also seeing some of the games re-enter theSteam Top Seller’s list; some of which are pretty high up as well. What makes the series so beloved is its vast world and host of memorable characters, one of which is the hovering robotic butler Codsworth from the fourth game....

Watch the new Final Fantasy XV trailer Well, there it is, the latest substantive look atFinal Fantasy XV, the game that started asFinal Fantasy XIII Versus(PS3) and haschanged considerably in the near decade since then. Despite the playable road trip demo, it still felt like we know next to nothing about it. Does it still? Yeah. That was not what I was expecting, I suppose. Would’ve liked to seemore summons, but I can see why you’d save them....

This trailer was first shown on the Tokyo Game Show floor last week at the Square Enix booth, but as the game’s only presence at the event, it was heavily guarded and not film-able. It was a bit of a bummer that the game was not playable at the show, but seeing as how they’ve released multiple demos in Japan, I guess that makes sense. They more than made up for it with a great trailer, though, and I’m pleased to be able to share it with you now....

Did you know that GameStop offers phone calls with NASCAR drivers as prizes for loyal customers? I had no idea, until I was scouring the retailer’sPowerUp Rewards pageto offload the silly points I’d acquired over the months. While I picked up a handsomeSaints Row: The Thirdgold USB stick, I noticed the odd prize. For 60,000 points, customers can choose to have a phone call from NASCAR racer Joey Logano. I have no idea who he is, but I imagine that the toothless members of my local community are more than familiar with him....

Not just current-gen Arguably the most disappointing aspect ofGrand Theft Auto Onlinewas the lack of multiplayer heists. Promised before launch, Rockstar has delayed the heists indefinitely — they’re still not in the game yet. But according to Rockstar, those heists are coming “soon,” and will arrive on all platforms, not just the current-gen editions of the game. I mean, this is so woefully late that a lot of people won’t care, but I just hope they’re actually fun....

Check out these Halloween pumpkins with a nerdy twist I’m not much of a pumpkin-carver myself, but one of the my favoriteHalloweenactivities is seeing everyone post their cool jack-o’-lanterns online. It’s all of the fun of a time-honored tradition with none of the work or mess, so that’s a win-win in my book. While there are some pretty impressive carvings out there, obviously the best ones are the gaming-themed gourds, and there are plenty of them out there....

The two things I’m most down with: being able to add poison to Ana’s basic attacks, and her alternate ultimate, Eye of Horus, which lets her shoot eight rounds with unlimited range that can heal allies or damage foes....
