Monday Mod: Battlefield 1942 – Eve of Destruction

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Jag

In celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the Battlefield 1942 modification Eve of Destruction, the developers have released the latest version (2.40) to the public. In honor of all their hard work, we’ve decided to spotlight the fantastic total conversion in our Monday Mod.

EoD changes the setting to the Vietnam War and implements 110 new vehicles, over 220 new maps ranging from thick jungles to urban conflicts and a boat-load of weapons. One of the more compelling additions was helicopters, which have never been in BF1942. Along with helicopters, an intuitive co-op mode was added, having AI controlled players join the battlefield. Updated with even more polish, now is the time to dust off your BF1942 discs.

Five Reasons To Revisit New Vegas

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Missy

With all of the emphasis on Skyrim, it is easy for other great Bethesda titles to go overlooked. Fallout: New Vegas is a title that has been lost in the dragonborn clamor. In this week’s blog, I seek to showcase several mods that will hopefully tempt you into revisiting New Vegas!

Warhammer 40k Conversion by DarkWolfV It is no secret that I am a huge fan of the Warhammer universe. Be it fantasy, or 40k you had better believe that my greenskins will “WAAAGH!” you to death. You had better believe that when I saw a 40k-inspired makeover for New Vegas, I pretty much peed myself. With this mod, normal NPCs become Imperial Guard while more “elite” NPCs become members from various chapters of the Space Marines. If you like 40k at all, you should DEFINITELY download and install this mod! If only GW and Bethesda would collaborate to create RPGs in the Warhammer worlds…a girl can dream, right?

Sun Valley by OPPxReDeMtloNx The Sun Valley mod is a completely new story campaign and a new world for Fallout: New Vegas. In this mod, an injured NCR trooper requests aid from your character. Throughout the campaign, you are given the choice to help either the NCR or the Legion. With high-quality storytelling, Sun Valley has become very popular. Check out this very highly rated mod for yourself!

Chryslus Corvega by Vuzi Does fast travel kill your immersion? Do not fret, for I have just the mod for you! This mod takes away your ability to fast travel out of the blue and adds a quest in which you obtain a jalopy similar to the one in Fallout 2. In order to travel, you will have to keep your car fueled up. This mod makes for more challenging travel, but has options for customization of your car and a ton of extras. With this mod, the increased difficulty pays in dividends.

JoO’s Armory by JackoO JoO’s Armory is a straight-forward mod – no extra work, just a bunch of cool items in a chest Doc Mitchel’s house. The mod includes new and more modern-looking combat armor, new helmets, new skins, and a slew of other retextured items. If want some great-looking additions to the game without having to travel to the ends of New Vegas to find them, this may be the mod for you.

Fallout Shelter by Ogachi This mod provides your character with living quarters that are very much in the spirit of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Based off of a mod Ogachi created for Fallout 3, this improved shelter includes beds, a living space, a bathroom, a kitchen and dining room, and is companion friendly! If you and your companion have been seeking a nuke-safe home in either Goodsprings or Boulder City, give this mod a try!

Wallpaper Wednesday: Space Pirates and Zombies

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Jag

Space, Pirates and Zombies. There isn’t more you could ask for in a game (besides Ninjas but perhaps that’ll be in DLC) and MinMax Games has done a fantastic job with their action-strategy RPG. If you enjoy developing your own fleet, investing in technology and taking down zombie infestations across the galaxy; we recommend trying the demo. For those that own it, here are 3 wallpapers for your desktop.

Monday Mod: Dead Island – Wardrop

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Jag

Dead Island wasn’t without flaws, (a laughable story and clunky controls being a few of them) but it is still the closest we have to an open-world zombie apocalypse RPG, and it does fill that need quite well. To help improve upon the apocalypse feel of the game, I went searching for a mod that added a bit more tension, and by tension I mean zombies.

The Wardrop mod increases the amount of zombies seen in both interior and exterior areas by over 100x, making the game more challenging and horrifying. To help keep balance and add to the new hectic nature of the game, ammo can be found in much more significant amounts and the maximum ammo capacity has been increased. Weapon degradation has been decreased and combined with the other changes lets players ditch their melee weapons and go guns-blazing against waves of zombies.

Mods To Refresh Dragon Age 2

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Missy

With the recent release of Skyrim, other fantasy RPGs have gotten something of a mod cold shoulder. For this week’s blog, I wanted to revisit Dragon Age II, a fun Bioware game that got a bit of a bad rap for being less impressive than its predecessor. Whatever your opinion on the game, here are some fun mods to make you revisit Kirkwall.

Simple Summoning by Setiweb Have you ever wanted the enigmatic Sandal as one of your traveling companions? Perhaps a desire demon, or even a dragon? This mod allows you to enlist almost any character in Dragon Age II as a companion, replacing your Mabari war hound. Creator Setiweb allows you to chose from over 30 different companions. The hardest part is figuring out who to use!

The Fenris Files by Zombiezer0 In his mod, Zombiezer0 gives everyone’s favorite angst-elf some new digs. If you weren’t a fan of Fenris’ weird unitard, have no fear! In addition to an awesome coat and (gasp) shoes for Fenris, the mod allows you to customize his tattoo colors, facial appearance, and general color scheme. In my opinion, this mod vastly improves the appearance of original Fenris, and I am all for that!

The Rivaini Pirates by LapisLazzuli If, for whatever reason, you have an irresistible urge to turn Hawke into a pirate, now is your chance. LapisLazzuli’s Rivaini Pirates mod adds 4 unique pirate outfits for both males and females. Options include a variant of Isabella’s default outfit, a more gypsy-style look with a fringe skirt and bikini top, a male outfit with a vest, and an open-shirt version for the more adventurous!
