The last batch of story-based DLC for Fallout: New Vegas hit last week with Lonesome Road. This week, however, two final DLC item packs became available, marking the final installments in Obsidian’s post apocalyptic epic. The Courier’s Stash and Gun Runners’ Arsenal can now be yours.
Courier’s Stash consists of all of the pre-order bonuses that could previously only be obtained by buying the game from specific retailers. For $1.99 you get all four packs, each of which consists of a unique outfit and weapon, along with extra ammo, medical supplies, and miscellaneous aid items. These items are available for all characters on your account, and will appear in your inventory as soon as the code is redeemed, so you can use them to boost an existing character, or provide a massive starting edge to new games.
The ever popular Humble Bundle is back with a pay-what-you-want deal on the “Simultaneous Turn-based Strategy” game Frozen Synapse. As always with the Humble Bundle, there’s an even better deal awaiting if you cough up a few extra dollars to support these indie developers and gaming charities.
Gamers looking forward to the next installment in Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series should be excited to read the slew of compiled information that was just released by the folks at Elder Scrolls fan site TheElderScrollsSkryim.com regarding the game’s Ability and Perk trees. By spending points in these trees as they level up, players will be able to customize and develop their characters’ skills in ways that complement their playstyle.
The first details of the next game in EA’s Dead Space sci-fi survival horror series may have been leaked. The news comes from Silliconera, who is reporting on information from their source within EA, the same source responsible for the Syndicate leaks.
EA has detailed the minimum and recommended system specs for Battlefield 3, and it isn’t looking good for gamers who haven’t upgraded their rig in a few years. While you can run the game on lower settings using an older machine, the minimum specs require at least Vista as your operating system, and it is recommended that you use Windows 7, along with a quad core processor, four gigs of RAM and a full gig of VRAM.
Throw out that Christmas list and just tell your loved ones to give you food, water and coffee for Christmas, because when the rest of the family is unwrapping their presents, you’ll be in your 120th hour of a non-stop Star Wars The Old Republic play session, because SWTOR has been officially dated for December 20th.

While you’re holed up in your underground foliage shelter, you’ll need some way to avoid going mad from boredom, so be sure to download some of the great games that are on sale this weekend. One digital distributor even has enough classic RPGs on sale to get you through until Spring arrives.
