A bunch of people on my Xbox 360 Friends list are back to playing Fallout: New Vegas, thanks largely to last week’s release of the Lonesome Road DLC pack, which is to be the final story-expanding DLC release for New Vegas.

They’re all a bunch of suckers.

Tomorrow, Bethesda Softworks is releasing another DLC pack for New Vegas. Unlike Lonesome Road and its three predecessors, this Gun Runners’ Arsenal pack in no way relates to the story. Instead, it’s all about weapons. Many, many, many weapons. Oodles of them. All types too. Bethesda has detailed many of them in a series of four blog posts (check them out here, here, here and here) and there’s still one more to come! The last post will run tomorrow, just as the DLC is going up online for download on your digital delivery storefront of choice.

You can get the whole, massive pack for 320 MS Point or $3.99 starting tomorrow, September 27. Of course, if you’ve already sped through Lonesome Road and the rest of the DLC after finishing the game, the many new toys aren’t going to do you a ton of good.

Bethesda’s Fallout 76 subscription plan costs an eyebrow-raising $100 per year

Fallout 4

Fallout 76 launched last November to a pretty dismal reception, with critics lamenting the lack of story incentive for quests and general lack of polish -- even for a Bethesda game. Since then, the company has been making strides to improve the experience with several content updates, but that goodwill may have been eliminated with the new "Fallout 1st" subscription plan.

Announced on October 23, Fallout 1st is a $100-a-year subscription-based service that gives its members access to several benefits not available to others. These include the ability to play on a private world with only your friends, unlimited storage space in the Scrapbox, a Survival Tent for fast traveling, monthly Atoms, an exclusive outfit, and extra icons and emotes. Special sales not available to other players will also appear periodically.

Volgarr the Viking 2 will take you back to your Ghosts ‘n Goblins days

A viking slashes a tree in Volgarr the Viking 2.

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The news is an out of left field reveal. The first Volgarr the Viking game released in 2013 and was made as an ode to 1080s classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins. Despite being a small release, it sold over 1 million copies over the past decade. As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)

Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.
