Fallout 76

During the XBox Showcase for 2024, Fallout fans were treated to a glimpse of the new Skyline Valley expansion to Fallout 76.

Happy Friday, Watchers!

If you can't get enough Fallout — and if you've already binged through the new Fallout series on Amazon Prime Video — you're in luck because the long awaited next-gen update to Fallout 4 will be coming free to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC on April 25.

Amazon just released a new TV series based on the hit Fallout video game franchise, and while TV series or movies based on video game franchises have not always honored the source material, we can only hope this one meets our very high expectations.

A game's launch -- the period of time in which it first becomes available for widespread play -- is one of the most important for that game's overall reputation, and many factors can impact whether or not that crucial event goes smoothly.

Lately, I've been noticing a trend of games being released with some pretty significant problems.

When Fallout 76 isn't breaking apart or generally being a disappointing game, there are some brief moments of joy — mostly in the strange things its players are up to.

Loot boxes.

Look, I'd love to tell you that Fallout 76 was an Overwatch crossover where Soldier 76 shows up in a Vault and saves the Wasteland, but it's not happening. We're not going to see Omnics fighting Super Mutants, or find out that the Institute were behind the Omnic crisis, and we're certainly not going to see Talon agents battling Brotherhood of Steel forces. God, the fanfic writes itself.
