Review Dishonored: Definitive Edition (PS4)
Not Attano improvements
It's almost been three years since Dishonored snuck onto the PlayStation 3, and when we donned the daunting mask of Corvo Attano back then to creep through Dunwall without so much as killing a soul or making a sound, we still regard Arkane Studios' runaway success with much-deserved admiration.

News Fallout 4 Features More Voiced Dialogue Than Any Other Bethesda Game
More than Fallout 3 and Skyrim combined
Seeing as Fallout 4's wasteland is, well, you know, a bit barren, we suppose its inhabitants have generally got a lot of free time on their hands.

News Fallout 4 Definitely Has a Chance of Outselling the Mighty Skyrim, According to Bethesda
Onwards and upwards
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was an absolutely huge hit for Bethesda. The studio's best selling release of all time, it's safe to say that Skyrim played a big part in putting role-playing games on the map for many a gamer back when it launched in 2011. However, even with all of its accolades, the tale of the Dragonborn could well...

Rad ideas
Earlier today at Microsoft's E3 press conference, Bethesda developer lead Todd Howard announced that PC-made mods for Fallout 4 would be coming to Xbox One.

Reaction The Remaining E3 Pressers Will Need to Be Bloody Good to Better Bethesda
Nailed it
DOOM, Dishonored 2, and Fallout 4. Only a handful of games were relevant to PlayStation at Bethesda's E3 2015 press conference, and this minimal focus was perhaps key to the publisher's incredibly successful showing.
