Moody third person action game Hell is Us
Action Hell is Us review: a gorgeous adventure that gets in its own way a little too often
Dogmeat
Fallout I thought I was crazy for thinking Fallout 4 feels like a perfectly crisp fall day, but that's exactly what Bethesda was aiming for after a 'field trip' to a national park: 'I was like, this is what our world needs to look like'
Arc Raiders skins: Key art showing three characters. The one on the left is wearing a blue pincho and holding a pistol ready at their hip. The middle figure is wearing a brown poncho and cowboy hat, facing the camera with a pistol across their chest. On the right is another character in a brown poncho and hat but facing away.
Third Person Shooter Arc Raider's defining feature, according to Embark's CEO, is all the odd player interactions: 'We did not expect people to take on roles of Defender of the Swamp'
Fallout 3
Fallout Fallout 3's lead artist says its 'sparse' vision of post-apocalypse is 'messy, and there's lots of inconsistency—but I like that, because it mimics the real world'
Arc Raiders helmet
Third Person Shooter Do I regret yeeting my blueprints and loot-filled stash into Arc Raiders Expedition? No, it actually made the game fun again
Arc Raiders Lay of the Land: A scenic shot of the launch tower on the Spaceport map as the sunsets.
Action Huh, Arc Raiders' maps are heavily based on real-world locations: 'Spaceport was actually done in Tenerife'
Two characters taking photos of birds in Flock Around
Sim The demo of Flock Around has made me realise I don't have the skills to be a wildlife photographer, but I'd certainly give it my best shot
Zoom in of New Vegas fan art courier smoking with Cass
Fallout My favorite Fallout fan artist paints New Vegas how you imagine it, and he refuses to touch AI tools: 'I believe it's innate in humanity to appreciate real human-made art'
Arc Raiders extraction shooter
Third Person Shooter I just finished my Expedition project in Arc Raiders and, honestly, it wasn't worth it
Diffusion mod for Half-Life
FPS 10 years in the making, this total conversion based on Half-Life is every bit as ambitious as Black Mesa
Arc Raiders loot guide: Three raiders standing shoulder to shoulder in Buried City. The one of the left is reaching for something in their pocket, the character in the middle, wearing an astronaut helmet, is casually looking up, while the one on the right in cowboy attire is aiming their pistol.
Third Person Shooter Only in Arc Raiders could you find players kind enough to reverse extraction camp: 'Any violence brought to my extraction point will be met with severe force'

The Division: postcards from the apocalypse

We're in the process of reviewing The Division, Ubisoft's new multiplayer-focused shooter. You can read our verdict soon, but in the meantime I've been exploring its detailed recreation of New York City. It's an atmospheric setting with some impressive world-building, so I decided to ignore the missions vying for my attention and take some tourist snaps. Here's what I saw.

Click the icon at the top-right of each screenshot to zoom in. If you're wondering how I took these, I disabled the HUD in options, pushed my character up against a wall, then spun the camera around to hide him from view.
