This week, the long-anticipated Fallout: London mod finally arrived. That’s cool! Less cool is the Cybertruck showing up in Fortnite. Also, a Call of Duty game has finally arrived on Game Pass, some time after Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, but the specific series entry that’s kicking things off isn’t exactly a fan favorite. All these stories and more await in the pages ahead.

If you’ve been waiting for the ambitious Fallout: London mod to release, then I have good news for you—it’s out tomorrow.

EA is very good at consistently adding player-requested content to The Sims 4 with free updates to the base game. Unfortunately, EA is also very good at breaking The Sims 4 with those updates, as evidenced in the latest debacle. – Alyssa Mercante Read More

How much chaos can one box cause? When that box is added to a decades-old Counter-Strike map with no warning, it turns out quite a lot of chaos.

For those out of the loop, in 2023 Valve updated Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and changed so much stuff that it also rebranded the game as Counter-Strike 2. But much of what people love about CSGO is still available in CS2, including one of the franchise’s most popular maps: Dust2. However, a new update for CS2 has slightly changed a stack of crates near bombsite A. And the reaction has been wild to watch. – Zack Zwiezen Read More

Last week, a good chunk of the digital world shut down and stopped working due to an update that caused Microsoft’s Windows operating system to crash and display a blue screen on millions of devices. This affected places like hospitals, schools, and airports. But one airline, unlike the others, was spared from the chaos.

Last week, EA College Football 25 launched and people went wild, with the game already becoming one of the biggest titles of 2024. But some fans on Xbox, perhaps not as familiar with video games, are frustrated after buying the new college football simulator and discovering that it doesn’t play on their console. Let us explain. – Zack Zwiezen Read More

Fortnite’s next crossover isn’t with a cool new movie or a beloved comic book franchise. No, instead Epic is adding Tesla’s silly and ugly Cybertruck to the F2P game in a move that might be one of the worst and cringiest things yet. – Zack Zwiezen Read More
