What it does is simple, and has also put me in a massive moral quandary: should I change the way I look? Being able to create your character is a pretty impactful thing....

The map inSkyrimis an actual 3D version of the game world, and if you add a few lines to an .ini file, you may zoom in all the way, and move around the world....

Sledgehammer Games, the co-developers ofModern Warfare 3, are hiring a Senior Environment Artist for an upcomingCall of Dutyfranchise title. It’s hard to tell what the target platform will be from the job listing, but it does specifically list the Xbox 360 and PS3 as “relevant platforms.” Could this beModern Warfare 4?...

Despite my other job being that of a film critic I have been paying little to no attention to theupcomingTekkenfilmset to be released in 2010 at some point.
