The beta for the game is currently ongoing, and will introduce a new playable fleet next week: the Eldar.The Eldar are fast and deadly, with highly maneuverable ships that deal serious damage.

  Bethesda is continuing to tweak Fallout 4’s Survival Mode ahead of a console and PC release.
  Survival Mode entered into a PC-only beta a little over a week ago. Since then, Bethesda has changed how some of the world works in the hopes of, presumably, creating a grueling-but-balanced game mode.
  The latest round of changes includes how much food and drink is needed to fend off hunger and keep the player hydrated, how much sleep players need, and an increase in weight to Fusion cores.

• Lucky's Tale Review

  07-04-2016 01:54
  
  It was disorienting at first, turning my head to move the camera for a third-person 3D platformer, but playing Lucky’s Tale and watching its cute but generic protagonist bounce around in virtual reality soon felt natural. It’s maybe a little too natural, because once the novelty of playing in VR wore off, I saw it for what it really is: a very short, very conventional game loaded with unnecessary repetition.
  Most of Lucky’s Tale could have been an N64-era platformer. It’s
