The families of Lauren Smith-Fields, 23, and Brenda Rawls, 53, say the Bridgeport, Connecticut, police department did not notify the families of the deaths of their loved ones, and they were forced to find out through other means, according to the Associated Press. Rawls’ family told News 12 that they could not reach her in the days following her death, leading to a series of frantic phone calls in which police allegedly said they couldn’t help them, before finally discovering that the 53-year-old had been found dead in her home....

Fall Guys is a mini-game focused battle royale that takes inspiration from game shows and playground games. These mini-games range from variations of tag to large obstacle courses that see players battle it out to get to the end. The gameplay is a lot of fun, and feels like a great blend of the party game and battle royale genres. This combination of genres makes it feel like the perfect fit for classic couch co-op gameplay, but Mediatonic emphasizes online play instead....

The first skin is yet another partnership skin with Valve, but instead of a Half-Life skin, Mediatonic has made a Portal skin. The skin is for Portal and Portal 2 protagonist Chell, who is wearing her iconic Aperture Science top, as well an orange full-body suit rolled down to the waist and tied off. One of her hands, naturally, is also shaped like the game’s portal gun. The Chell skin will cost 5 crowns each for the upper and lower half of the skin and will be released in the shop on September 3 on PC....

More than that, however, it doesn’t appear Bethesda is interested in working with outside developers. In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed working with an external studio isn’t an interest for Bethesda, as the company is large enough to handle a number of projects on its own. Notably, the company has grown large enough to handle the development of Fallout 76, Starfield, The Elder Scrolls 6, and The Elder Scrolls: Blades, making a Fallout: New Vegas sequel from Obsidian unlikely....

The performance drop is significant, with both consoles seeing fluctuation in frame rates in the new woodlands area. While Fallout 4 should run at a solid 30 FPS on both consoles, user reports suggest that the heavy fog present in the expansion causes the PS4 to cap out at 20 frames per second, a drop that is noticeable to even the most casual gamer. In some areas, Sony’s console will even hit as low as 15 FPS, which can be seen quite clearly in this side-by-side comparison video from Digital Foundry....

As far as we can tell, it appears Danny Trejo isn’t to far into Fallout 4. But if he gets hooked like so many others, we wouldn’t be surprised him disappear from social media and public appearances for a while. That is, if Trejo is really playing Fallout 4. [HTML1] Although Danny Trejo is instantly recognizable for his numerous roles in action flicks, cult classics, and his recent Snickers commercial appearance, few know him as a gamer....

RELATED: Fallout 4: The 10 Creepiest Locations In The Game, Ranked There are certain songs that players have left an impact on the fanbase. Either due to the frequency they play, what was happening when they triggered, or for how much players enjoyed them. These are arguably the most iconic songs in the game’s wonderful soundtrack. 10 Welcome To Far Harbor Far Harbor had a different feel & tone than the rest of the game and the song “Welcome To Far Harbor” definitely helped set that mood....

Because of this oversight in Fallout 3, some have been worried that Bethesda would opt for a similar route in Fallout 4. However, speaking to fans on Twitter, Bethesda has laid these worries to rest, and they have expanded more on the end-game of Fallout 4. As it turns out, Fallout 4 will not end once the main story is completed, so players are free to explore the Bostonian wasteland to their hearts’ desire even after the central conflict has been resolved....

Of course, players can spend bottle caps for Fusion Cores at vendors all across the Wasteland, like Arturo in the Diamond City Market, but the map is simply too vast for fans to expect their T-60 gear to hold a charge getting to each in-game retailer. The following list of locations in Fallout 4 shows some of the best spots to scavenge for Fusion Cores. RELATED: Fallout 4: Pro-Tips For Gathering Scraps & Building Materials...

Hines’ verification of Fallout 4’s uniform frame-rate for consoles will hopefully assuage the concerns stemming from certain fans’ graphics complaints once and for all, but of course, some people will more than likely never be satisfied, and continue to apply armchair criticism to the title. At any rate, most gamers can at least agree that the PC requirements for the forthcoming sequel in Bethesda’s popular retro-futuristic RPG series ought to help provide some pretty stellar results....

For those unaware, Shivering Isles was the first expansion pack for Oblivion, and it brought loads of fresh materials, including a map about a quarter of the area of Cyrodiil, which is Elder Scrolls 4 main setting. Bearing that in mind, it makes sense as to why Bethesda’s intent to charge $25 for Fallout 4’s Far Harbor as a standalone download. [HTML1] Prior to Hines’ confirmation of Fallout 4’s forthcoming expansion pack being bigger than Oblivion’s most massive add-on, the post-apocalyptic RPG’s director, Todd Howard, had confirmed the Far Harbor DLC contains the largest landmass created by Bethesda yet, but revealed it actually has a little less playable content than Shivering Isles....

The representative doesn’t appear to have elaborated on these comments, or detail exactly why Bethesda is skipping Steam, but it’s not difficult to see why. The biggest reason is likely that Bethesda wants a greater share of the profit for itself. For every purchase that a user makes on Steam, Valve takes a cut of around 30%. Given that Fallout 76 will have microtransactions and plenty of post-launch content, this game will continuously generate revenue for Bethesda after the initial purchase of the game....

While its subscriber count has fluctuated over the years, there’s no doubt that World of Warcraft has permeated a lot of facets in pop culture and has even made its way into the mainstream as well. It seems the game will again be making its way to the mainstream, in a way, as it will be featured as the theme for this Sunday’s Family Guy episode. While there are no details on specific plot points for the episode as of this writing, it is safe to assume that the show will look to parody the game, as it has done with other franchises in the past, like Star Wars....

Part of what makes Fall Guys great is that players don’t have to win in order to have fun. With this game, it really is about the journey rather than the destination, as the hilarity that ensues in every match as players tumble over each other to reach the finish line can be just as satisfying as winning. That said, missing out on Legendary cosmetics never feels good, especially if it’s for a collab that the player was particularly excited for....

Jones, an early casualty of the ground war, died handling one of his own artillery shells during combat. Back home with wife Melanie are Dametta, Jessica and Robert. Clark, who loved to ski, was a secretary in civilian life. “She always believed that anything was possible and would try anything,” her family said in a statement.

There are around 10 unique bosses in Eldest Souls, as Barsotti and Costantini explained, and each of them has its own move set that makes the fight challenging in a different way every time. The moves change when the bosses get lower on their health, adjusting their behavior and pattern based on the new combat phase, and this concept further evolves once players finish the base game and gain access to new game+ and Arena Mode....

[HTML1] Mods can be fantastic additions to games. They allow dedicated modders to change games in ways their creators never imagined possible, extending a game’s lifespan indefinitely as long as there are people willing to keep coding new adventures. As a result, game developers typically support fan-created content, and Bethesda Studios is particularly well-loved by fans of modded games. It’s easy to see why, as their expansive worlds and open-ended games allow for some truly startling innovations and the freedom to create them....

Sierra is one of the few characters who appear in more than one Fallout game. She’s first encountered in the Capital Wasteland of Fallout 3 then, later in Fallout 4, she can be seen wandering the grounds of the Nuka-World theme park. In both games, Sierra offers Nuka-Cola-related side quests.

Simultaneously releasing across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, Fallout 4’s Automatron DLC will be adding fresh story content to the critically-acclaimed game, as it sees players contending with a new antagonist named The Mechanist and his army of evil robots.
