To be specific, the studio has said that it is rewarding player loyalty by planning to dole out 10 new DLC packs for the game over the course of the next 12 months at no additional cost....

PlayStation Plus has changed. What was once a monthly drop of one or two games bundled with the paid ticket to multiplayer mayhem has reforged itself into something more akin to Xbox Game Pass — an all-you-can-play buffet with more games en route every month. As something of a precursor to this dramatic shift in business, Sony offered fans a group of games called the “PlayStation Plus Collection” for several months....
Everyone’s favorite ghost appliance Pokémon might finally be coming to Pokémon GO very soon. Pokémon GO got started on Generation 4 Pokémon last October. The Sinnoh region contained 107 new Pokémon to capture and enslave, although as with other generational rollouts, Niantic only released 25 at the time. Those were mostly the starter Pokémon as well as some of the more common normal types. However, we’ve received word from a reliable source that Pokémon GO now has all the sprites and assets for the entire Gen 4 roster, and that means their release might be just around the corner....

Although there are two recently released consoles to keep gamers busy, that doesn’t mean there isn’t still plenty of reason for players to boot up their PC once in a while. With the constant stream of Steam sales, it’s hard to find a gamer out there who hasn’t built up a backlog of PC games — whether they were trying to or not. Fortunately, thanks to Microsoft’s coordination between the development of the Xbox One and the Windows OS, owners of the new Microsoft console will soon have a convenient option when jumping back and forth between their console and PC....
The Fallout series is hugely popular and Fallout 4 was generally well-received (at least compared to what came after), but that doesn’t mean everyone agrees on everything about it. There are so many ways to play and choices to make that no two playthroughs will be that similar. Who’s the best companion? Which faction should you side with? Which are the best perks? On Reddit, you’ll see thousands of posts discussing these topics and more....
Save a bunch of caps on a Steam copy of Fallout 4. Steam’s 2015 Winter Sale was supposed to do away with daily deals and flash sales, but a few individual titles have gone on sale in the middle of their big wave of discounts. November’s big release of Fallout 4 is finally catching a price break to $49.99 over at Steam Store. (As far as we know, this appears to be a part of the Winter sale due to its expiring date of January 4th, when the Winter Sale ends over at Steam)....

For one of the most popular franchises of the decade, it’s the little things that really bring together the Far Cry experience. For all of its dramatic plot points and intense gunfights, fans remember the more humorous side of the game franchise. This doesn’t downplay the main game, instead, it lightens the mood from such a bullet heavy experience. From movies to other gaming franchises, players will stumble across a myriad of references throughout their trek through the Himalayas....
Bugs: as inevitable in games as they are in life. They can be game-breaking, frustrating, a tear-your-hair-out pain in the butt, but sometimes? Just sometimes—bugs can be fun and memorable accidents for both players and developers. This weekend, senior QA tester @nicholestrano posed a question to her fellow developers on Twitter: what were their favorite bugs in games they’ve worked on or games they’ve played?

This Dexter: New Blood review contains spoilers. Dexter: New Blood Episode 3 Dexter has always been at its best when its titular character has his back against the wall. The issue is that as the series progressed, Dex wiggled out of harm’s way far too easily and far too often, repeatedly saved by coincidence and intervening third parties. It reached a point where it seemed that our anti-hero would walk away from a tight spot with nothing more than a shrug, having learned nothing....
