Grand Theft Auto IV Looks Great As A First-Person Shooter It’s a predictable tragedy, but a tragedy nonetheless: both of the recently-released Game of Thrones video games suck.
This clever Grand Theft Auto mod by YouTube user taltigolt is pretty funny for the first 1:45 then HOLY CRAP does this little droid turn into an engine of destruction. And if you think that is hilarious, turn off the annotations and wait until 3:43 for one hellacious surprise. Just cover your keyboard, or don’t be drinking anything.
One of the greatest things about PC gaming is the ability to modify games. Since Doom, fan-made sprites, levels, and even tweaks to gameplay can be found for any number of classic and modern PC titles. Recently, games like Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age have received amazingly detailed texture packs for all their characters, improving the graphics incredibly.
DayZ, a very rough mod for serious PC shooter ArmA II, is winning over a ton of new players daily with its brutal, hands-off approach to the zombie apocalypse.
Mark wrote earlier this week about the sorry state of Black Mesa, the ambitious Half-Life remake mod for Half-Life 2. If you simply cannot wait, there’s another way to get a fresh lick of paint on everyone’s favourite particle science facility. And by “lick of paint” I mean “high-resolution texture pack”.
I don’t like most zombie games because, well, they’re not really zombie games. They’re action games using the texture of a walking corpse as your opponent. From Resident Evil to Left 4 Dead, they don’t really capture the essence of a good zombie yarn like Dawn of the Dead or The Walking Dead manage.
Yup, people are still making other people’s stuff in Minecraft. Like this village, modelled after the starting point of Fez, and which thanks to the use of a custom texture pack looks terrific.
A false alarm related to keylogging, which seemed like a pretty raw deal for a promising fan remake of classic platformer Sonic 2, turned out to be just the tip of a giant iceberg scientists have named “Drama”. One that’s now sunk the game.
I’ve been playing Skyrim again recently, and thanks to the wonders of modding, it is lookin’ damned fine. That’s not to say it ever didn’t look fine — when the game was released last November, it was a perfectly OK-looking game. A little rough around the edges in places, not the hottest textures in the world, but still. Considering its sheer scope and scale, it was amazing that it looked as good as it did.
A couple weeks ago, I posted about a tower-defense mod for Skyrim that looked surprisingly cool. You know, given how often grafting tower defence onto a non-tower-defense game… y’know… sucks.
