God, I love modders. I’m pretty sure that everyone has noticed slowdowns when entering Skyrim’s cities and where there are a lot of NPC’s. Have you ever wondered what was the culprit and caused that performance hit? Apparently, it was due to un-optimization as modder Arisu released a mod – that is currently compatible only with the 1.3.10 version of Skyrim – that offers up to 40% performance boost on both high-end and low-end machines. And get this right; it really does work. So yeah, this is a must-have mod for every Skyrim player.

And it’s finally been revealed. AMD’s latest high-end GPU model that is based on the ‘Tahiti’ chip has just been unveiled and it’s the fastest single-GPU card on the market. Which was to be expected but what are the performance gains that PC gamers can expect from it? According to the earlier leaks, Radeon 7970 was expected to be 60% faster than Nvidia’s GTX580. Sadly though, the card is not that much faster. There are cases where the gap between these two cards is almost around 50% and it’s definitely the faster single-GPU, but it’s nowhere as fast as we wished. Oh, and the card can’t touch Nvidia’s dual-chip offer, the GTX590, despite earlier rumors suggesting that it would be almost on-par with it.

Admit it, when you first saw the footage of Ridge Racer: Unbounded you thought that it was a completely different game, right? Well, in fact, it was originally meant to be a completely different game. Yeap, that’s exactly what Bugbear Entertainment has revealed a few days ago. According to the company’s senior producer, Joonas Laakso, Bugbear was working on a new racing game when it was approached by Namco. The former show Bugbear’s latest game and decided to make an offer to the studio that was hard to refuse.

Remedy has just launched a new website for their Alan Wake series.

Unfortunately though, we don’t have any news to share about the PC version of Alan Wake or about a future PC version of Alan Wake: American Nightmare. Continue reading New Alan Wake website launched; new developer diary coming in a few days→
Now that’s just… weird and funny at the same time. FancyPantz has replaced the spiders’ skin with the one of our friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Contrary to other attempts, FancyPantz’s work has been weighted to the spider’s skeleton. All animations should function properly for the most part, though it looks weird as hell. The arms and legs have been rigged (roughly) to four of the spider’s legs. Moreover, sounds have been replaced with recordings from the ‘Baman Piderman’ web series. Continue reading The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Look out, here comes the Spiderman→

Oooooooookay, now that was a bit of a shock. It’s true that I’ve been trying hard to take down helis and planes with my beloved rocket launcher. But this dude is simply talented. Either that or he’s cheating and I doubt that he’d upload such video if that was the case. So, PhaserEvolution has uploaded a video to show off his ‘rocket skills’ and believe me, you don’t want to play against such player. Why you ask? See the video to find out why. Continue reading Battlefield 3 – No man or vehicle is safe from this dude’s rocket skills→
