I found a really great item last night. Definitely the best helmet I've found. It's called the Volsung Mask and I came across it by chance while trying to truck it up north to free some Grey-Mane dude taken from the WhiteRun town. The enemy who had it (some floating magic user thing that attacked me after I absorbed a dragon word of power) absolutely crushed me like 6 times before I finally beat him (and used all my potions!). LoL Anyways, it gives +20% better prices in shops (buy and sell), +20 to your carry weight and permanent water breathing. Looks pretty bad-*** too. What are some of the cooler items you've found?

So what are your builds?! Talent Builder: http://www.ign.com/builds/the-elder-scrolls-5-skyrim/create I messed around with it for my Mage but have not settled on exactly what I want yet. When I do I will post the link to my expected build.

Rockstar just announced something. As mentioned a couple weeks ago, the Rockstar Newswire will be bringing you full coverage of the first details on Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer component over the course of this week. http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/4501/red_dead_redemption_multiplayer_details_coming_this_week.article So, they announced that they'll be announcing stuff this week. Kudos, Rockstar. lol Anyone pre-order yet? If so, which bonus will you be packing? I pre-ordered from Amazon. Gold guns and $10 gift card.

What the!?!? Catapult dune buggy and hover-copter??? Go check out all the previews from various sites. Go! http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=135367

So we've got the things I hate, and the cool things found in Skyrim. We need just a random thread, covering anything and everything Skyrim. So I took it upon myself. heehee I'll start it off by saying I found a faq on dragon shouts. Find out where each one can be found, and what each one does. Find it here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/615803-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/faqs/63358 There is also one listing all the potions available to make, and the ingredients it takes. Find it here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/615803-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/faqs/63353 Making potions is a great way to make some quick cash. I also have been leveling and buying the perks for encha…

With an athletic build and statuesque, augmented height of 6'7", twenty-six year-old Yelena Fedorova is a trained assassin, part of an elite team of special operations mercenaries working for Belltower Associates, a private military corporation. A black woman with a cut of shoulder-length, spiky black hair, she's rarely seen out of her combat gear; her only affectation is a silver cross on a black steel chain around her neck, a family heirloom of great personal value. Yelena is a ruthless and resourceful combatant, never choosing frontal assault when another approach will more easily destroy her enemies with less effort. When she moves, she does so with unexpected agility…

So excited. Love the Deus Ex universe and can't wait to dig into this latest installment. Who else is picking it up tomorrow? *edit* If you are picking it up, which paths will you take? Good/Evil? Stealthy, Combat, Social? My first run will be good, with a mixture of stealth and combat. Only killing those who are my enemies and trying to kill me. Law enforcement and civilians I will not kill.

I wanted to make this thread so we can put all our GTA V info into it. What you find, cars, easter eggs, easy ways to make money etc. Any sort of useful info, or when we do get to play online we can use this thread to plan to play. Pretty much anything GTA V goes here.

The reviews are pouring in, and a big shocker...They're all positive. Game Informer - 95 - Any disappointment series fans felt after ODST should be completely washed away thanks to Reach. Make no mistake about it - this is the true follow-up to Halo 3. It's also a perfect way for Bungie to part with the series it turned into a phenomenon. Joystiq - 5 out of 5 - Reach brings us right back into the dance that hooked us nine years ago, introduces some cool new steps, and leaves us twirling in enchantment as Bungie graciously bows out. Just keep twirling, Spartan. Gametrailers - 9.3 - (Video Review.) Xbox360Achievements.Org - 94 - It’s Halo. It’s the best Halo yet. It’s…

Keeping up with my tradition of writing first impressions for games that give me joy I played this game for a couple hours last night and here are my first impressions: In my short playtime(around 3-4 hours) with Borderlands 2 this evening I felt the game was everything the original Borderlands was and more! I noticed some good improvements over the first game right away. I had trouble deciding on which of the four new characters to select because they all look really fun. Of course, I picked Maya making it a tradition to run through with the Siren class first. First off it seems much easier to jump right into a friends game from the main screen. You get a dialog that tel…

I know there is a thread in the XBLA section, but I feel the need to make another one. THIS GAME RULES. Wow, I can't say it enough. I love the class-based system. I love how anyone can build/upgrade various turrets so it's almost like a Tower Defense game. I love the humor. I love earning money in-match to upgrade my skills (kind of like Shadowrun or Counterstrike). I love shooting the Mascot as he's dancing around the Arena to earn some extra loot. And it's surprisingly smooth! I haven't had any lag. Plus the game even LOOKS good (running the Unreal Engine). I like the art style (even though it's a kind of TF2 rip). I like that there is like a "horde/firefight…

while ive been playing this game and have been enjoying every second of it one thing that keeps occurring constantly has been bugging the crap out of me. despite wearing full heavy armor, everything literally two shots me. Was trying to kill a saber tooth and it kept killing me withing two hits. so out of curiosity i took my armor off and charged at it, and to not much surprise i died again in two hits. I know i have it on the hardest setting but there is literally no room for error at all, I can understand stuff hurting more because its on a higher difficulty but this is just ridiculous. If the armor would have made even the slightest of difference i dont think it would …

Dunmer, naturally. >) And a guy my son came across when he was playing

Because the old one was unfortunately derailed and beaten to death by a few people there is a new one! I'll add in all the vids/trailers from the old one into here. Trailer showcasing all the new online modes Matches showing new characters and changes to old characters(players suck btw): Showcase of a bunch of the new ultras: There we go

Hey guys .. it's easy to say that Borderlands is one hell of a damn fine game and the very little time I've played online with you guys have been great. But I usually play alone and have gotten through the main story at around Level 42 or 43. However when I started the second play through I thought I would be able to walk around like a god blowing the crap out of everything, but that's not the case. I know the game adjusts the enemies based on your player level and I did the first play through totally legit but now it's sort of annoying me. I have no desire to get my *** handed to me every time I get near a Skag den or spend 5 hours trying to kill Slagg again. Is it poss…

I put this together really quick in MSPaint, using the wiki for the Morrowind version, and a screengrab from the video below.

Prey was, in my opinion, the most underrated 360 game to date. It's also my opinion, that it was before its time. Prey had you walking on the ceiling, via anti-gravity trails. It had you using portals, long before Valve introduced them to us. Prey even has you picking up living creatures, and using them as weapons. It was more than just a creepy shooter with aliens. It had puzzles where you had to think outside the box, and the living world. Prey centered around Domasi Tawodi (Tommy), a Cherokee not happy living on a reservation. If he thought he wasn't happy living on the reservation, something soon happens that makes him wish that was his only problem. If you've played …

Did anyone here pick it up last night or today? I've read a few reviews and they are not to favorable. Of course those were from Joysti q and ******, so I was wondering if anyone here has it or played in their homes and not on a stage that Microsoft designed for it.

Picked this up today. Thinking about streaming it later on the channel when I get back from my nephew's birthday. I don't think Fury is streaming tonight and people are welcome to join me playing if they have it.

We need a few rounds of Cars vs Bike, some golf cart racing, A Team, or maybe even some GTA Olympics. Let's aim for next weekend. We'll decide on Friday or Saturday, after a few of you show interest.

My God, could they have made "home" and just the overall setup anymore friggin' confusing?! I don't think I'll ever REALLY get the hang of it and feel comfortable! And HOME really? They couldn't think of something original???

Wow 9 days away till its finally in are hands..... Everyone is excited but what is everyone looking to do with it first??? Online game play, missions, freeplay, explore, gang fight, raise wanted level, make custom car and guns, hunt, or just hit it extreme with offroad, big jumps and skydiving......... I really want to see the wildlife in hunting and exploring.... hoping the online can be more controlled than in red dead.....sucked you couldnt spawned in with out their being that one asshole that wouldnt even let you play the game and killing you every step of the way....but any ways what do you all think??

Ok, so we have to have a Fallout New Vegas thread!! I figured we were all going to need some help at one point or another, and what better place. If you have a tip or something you discovered or read about, share here! Of course shoot those questions too!!! =) TALK... I have one little thing to ask... Has anyone figured out the rhyme or reason to computer hacking yet??? It just doesn't make sense and never adds up! I go through and pick 3 words, and then start going through to remove the duds and resetting the allowance. I write down the words I select and they never make sense. It'll say like 0/7 letters were correct, but if you go through all the letters, SOME of those …

Hands-On with the Halo: Reach Beta Since 2001, I’ve been an avid Halo fan, and some might say, a little too addicted to the entire Halo franchise. Luckily, I’ve been fortunate enough to play the Halo: Reach beta before the general public gets access to it via Halo 3: ODST. Strap your boots on; it’s going to be a hell of a ride! Character Customization Once the Reach menu was shining in all of its glory on my TV, I couldn’t think straight what I immediately wanted to do. Customize my character? Matchmaking? The Arena? I needed to make myself a unique Spartan, so I first headed off to customize my Spartan III. The UI for customizing your Spartan has drastically changed and …
