The Elder Scrolls Online video explores gathering, crafting

Every massively multiplayer game has some sort of gathering mechanic where players can use items they find to craft useful things that they won't have to spend money on. The Elder Scrolls Online will be no different, as a new video talks about exploration and gathering in Tamriel.

Elder Scrolls Online trailer hunts for the player's soul

Elder Scrolls Online trailer hunts for the player's soul

The Elder Scrolls Online was a bit more impressive the last time we saw it. We found out that the player loses his soul at the beginning of the game, and then spends the game trying to figure out why as he quests through Tamriel. A new trailer shows off a new area that is integral to the missing soul angle of the game.

Doom 4 was not 'exciting' enough, sent back to the drawing board

Hey, remember Doom 4? It was announced nearly five years ago, so we thought maybe Bethesda and id Software had forgotten about it. But apparently, no. It's been quite troubled--something that Bethesda VP of marketing and PR Pete Hines admitted.

"An earlier version of Doom 4 did not exhibit the quality and excitement that id and Bethesda intend to deliver and that Doom fans worldwide expect," Hines said. "As a result, id refocused its efforts on a new version of Doom 4 that promises to meet the very high expectations everyone has for this game and this franchise. When we’re ready to talk about the Doom 4 id is making, we will let folks know."

Best of 2012: #3 - Dishonored

Best of 2012: #3 - Dishonored

Dishonored may be an original game coming from 2012, but it had the feel of classics such as Thief and Deus Ex, with a bit of Arx Fatalis thrown in. Whether I wanted to stealth my way through, or leave bodies in my wake, Dishonored took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride.
