Fallout Fans thought we were getting the last of New Vegas‘ DLC packs a couple of months ago when the Gunrunners’ Arsenal came out, but this week an un-official mod made by the game’s Project Director, J.E. Sawyer, was released. It’s not a patch or a DLC, but rather a mod that adds in some balances that suited Sawyer’s own tastes.
2011 has been a very well-paced year for gamers. We started out with a couple of hits in January and ended with a major release less than a week before Christmas. My favorites this year include horror, comedy, epic RPG’s, downloadable arcade games, and even a DLC pack from a 2010 game that was so good it deserves just as much honor as the full games. Developers are making great games at a faster rate than anyone can play them all, but here are ten that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Pendulo Studios have made some very popular adventure games over the years. Among their hits are the Runaway games, and this year’s The Next BIG Thing. Now they’re taking a turn towards the serious side of the adventure genre with Yesterday.
As we enter the final week of 2011, it’s time for Player Affinity’s PC Department to look back at all of the great games that came out for PC this year and name our favorite ones. Here are Ari Runanin Telle’s thoughts:
It’s that time of year when Federal regulations mandate that all media organizations publish their Top Ten lists. All of Player Affinity’s gaming department will be rolling out our choices for Best Of in these last few days of 2011, and the PC Department is starting off with Fergus Halliday’s choices for Ten Best PC Games of 2011:
Coinciding with the Winter Solstice, Atlus and Cyanide Studios have released a trailer for the latest video game adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s A Song Of Fire And Ice book series, A Game Of Thrones the RPG. This should not be confused with Cyanide’s other adaptation that came out earlier this year, AGame Of Thrones: Genesis, the strategy game.
Digital Distributor Direct 2 Drive has joined forces with Games-by-Mail rental service Gamefly forming what might be called the Netflix of gaming. Current Direct2Drive customers will have their accounts converted to Gamefly accounts, and customers of both services will have the accounts merged into one Gamefly account. A new Gamefly client has been released for PC and Mac customers and there are several free-to-play games already available for these platforms.
