You’re not really playing a Bethesda RPG unless you’re running at least a couple mods, or for the real diehards, a couple hundred. With the launch of Oblivion Remastered, modders immediately got to work to create new mods for the overhauled RPG, as well as updating mods for the original game to work with the…
An initial glance at May game releases almost had me calling it a quieter month, but I think it’s just because there’s no gauntlet of back-to-back RPGs. I’ll gladly accept the breather, but there’s still plenty on the docket for these next few weeks if you’re looking for something to play with a friend. Among…
Popular gaming streamer Benjamin Lupo, better known to his fans as DrLupo, has been kicked out of the PogChamps 6 online chess tournament for a “fair play violation”—in other words, he got caught cheating. Hosted by Chess.com, PogChamps—not to be confused with the PogChamp Twitch emote—is a series of amateur chess tournaments featuring well known…
Stadium is more than just an Overwatch 2 mode—it’s different enough that it could almost be classified as its own game, and a separate game needs a separate roadmap. The developers have planned out the next three seasons of Stadium, albeit roughly, that’ll coincide with the regular cadence of seasons. Season 17 will introduce two…
I’ve been playing a lot of Overwatch 2’s Stadium mode since it launched a couple of weeks ago. But I do like to diversify, so I also decided to check out the hero bans in ranked. Or at least I tried to. It took me a whole seven minutes to find a match—outrageous, I know….
The other day, I was frantically crouch walking around Skingrad in Oblivion Remastered, tailing the neighbors of a seriously paranoid guy named Glarthir, and thought: This is new, right? When did Oblivion get all these weird, engrossing sidequests? Didn’t I play this game a lot back in the day? Technically yes, I played Oblivion in…
14 years after Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk presented US President Barack Obama with a copy of The Witcher 2 as an official diplomatic gift, French President Emmanuel Macron is getting in on the “recognizing the cultural value of videogames” action. No, he hasn’t added Donald Trump to his Steam friends list, but he did…
Gaming website Polygon, which was launched by Vox Media in 2012, has been sold to Canadian publisher Valnet, owner of Game Rant, FextraLife, and TheGamer, among a number of other online entertainment, sports, and hobbyist publications. A substantial number of Polygon staff members have been laid off or quit, including site co-founder and editor-in-chief Chris…
I’ll be honest, before the release of Oblivion Remastered, I thought it and Skyblivion—the fan mod that rebuilds Oblivion in Skyrim Special Edition—were diametrically opposed. This was zero-sum game territory, surely? If one gets mega-popular it can only be to the detriment of the other. Winner takes all. Only one leaves alive. Well don’t I…
Back in 2006, Bethesda Softworks made a documentary about the making of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, capturing the scale of the effort behind what was then the studio’s biggest and most ambitious game. And now, to celebrate the recent (and tremendously successful) release of Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda got a whole bunch of the original…
