  • Hands-On: Black Desert Online - Gameplay Video from North American Alpha Test

    I was recently given the opportunity to try out the closed alpha test for Black Desert Online as it begins to make its way to Western markets.

    The "demonic images" were of a skeleton from the popular game Undertale. Undertale is a unique RPG that rewards pacifism and punishes those who find violent solutions. But hey, it's the 700 Club so...

    Fallout 4 PC Ultra Screenshots

    The following Fallout 4 screenshots are reportedly from the PC version of the game running on the "Ultra" settings. As I don't have the game in front of me, I do not know what all is enabled with the "Ultra" settings.

    These screenshots come courtesy of NeoGAF user, RoboPlato. He says that they are from a machine running an i7 CPU and a GTX 970. I have no way to actually verify any of the claims made here, so just enjoy these screenshots of Fallout 4.
