The popular mod repository Nexus Mods revealed today that it suffered a data breach in November, during which a “potentially malicious third-party actor” was able to access a small number of user records, including email addresses and password salts and hashes. “We immediately worked to rectify the situation and, as part of the process, brought forward our release schedule for our long-planned new user service to ensure no other potential exploits on the old user service could be used to obtain

Instead, Kali and Wamai are members of the Nighthaven, a mercenary group based out of India. Officially, Nighthaven was invited to join Rainbow Six after successfully stopping the hijacking of a supertanker. Much like Nighthaven’s employment contract, the Nighthaven trailer serves dual purposes: It’s a cinematic introduction to a pair of new operators, but it also promotes the Nighthaven Collection of premium cosmetics that went live today. Available until January 6, the collection will offer 18

The studio, celebrating its 20th anniversary, shared its most memorable concept art from the history of the God of War games, and while most of them are just pretty reminders of good games, there’s one that has some groundbreaking potential. According to former concept artist Erik San Juan, the Amazonian Warrior from God of War: Ascension was based off of drawings for a cha

There is, of course, the Steam Awards, where the Steam community can vote on their favorite games from a number of different categories like “Game of the Year,” “Outstanding Story-Rich Game,” or even “Best Game You Suck At.” As for how long the sale will last, it looks like you have time to really think about wh

“It’s hard to see how things get much better,” Emily Roland, a co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management, told members of the media during the company’s recent 2020 outlook event in New York.

Guillebeau shared the knowledge he’s cultivated while becoming an expert in the art of a side hustle. Remember you don’t have to spend money to make money”A side hustle is something that should increase your income, not deplete it,” says Guillebeau. “The whole thing people hear about how ‘It takes money to make money’ – maybe that’s true in some parts of the startup world, but not the side hustle world. There’s an important distinction to be made between what Guillebeau considers a “starter idea

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order released about a month ago to mostly positive reception. However, the director of Jedi: Fallen Order, Stig Asmussen, recently revealed that the game almost brought back an old fan favorite cheat code from many classic video game titles: Big Head Mode. advertisingWhile Jedi: Fallen Order has its own fair share of easter eggs, those mostly pertain to the larger Star Wars franchise as a whole. advertisingOn a brighter note, it seems that Respawn and Electronic Arts may

Super Mario Odyssey is one of the games that defined the last 10 years of play, placing 11th in our 100 best games of the decade rankings. But Super Mario Odyssey excelled because it managed to break free from its own nostalgia to push the series into unknown territories. From past to future(Image credit: Nintendo)That doesn’t mean that Super Mario Odyssey is afraid of its past though. It’s still steeped in the nostalgia that you’d expect from a Super Mario title, just presented much more subtly

The ROG Swift series is one of our favorite gaming monitor lines, so we took note when we saw this Best Buy holiday deal for a 1080p Swift monitor with an 180Hz refresh rate for $250. It’s the right choice if you don’t have the space for a large screen, or the hardware to bump up the resolution to 1440p, but still want the performance of a premium gaming monitor. This feature-packed monitor usually retails around $400, which is a bit of a steep price point for just a 24-inch 1080p display. At $2

Distant Worlds 2, the sequel to one of the best 4X games, has been in development for four years, but we’ve heard very little about during that time. The first Distant Worlds is many things, but a looker isn’t one of them. If that’s not your cup of Earl Grey, hopefully Distant Worlds 2 will have the same approach to automation as its predecessor. Distant Worlds can be extremely complex, and diving straight in is not recommended, even if you’ve got some 4X games under your belt already. (Image cr

The Tenet trailer is here! To say any more would be to spoil it, so enjoy: here’s the Tenet trailer in all its glory. This isn’t the first we’ve seen of Tenet, however. A teaser trailer was attached to screenings of Hobbs & Shaw in the summer, but was never released online. If you’ve seen the teaser, you know that bullethole is not as clear-cut as it may seem.

“At home, I get to sit playing games for ridiculous amounts of hours and escape there,” he told GQ, “because going outside has the opposite effect.” Cavill says he grew up playing games like Delta Force and Half-Life, and even hosted LAN parties at his childhood home. And when he learned Netflix was creating a show based on The Witcher, Cavill jumped at the chance to play Geralt. Once cast as Geralt, Cavill lobbied for the inclusion of more of Geralt’s magic powers in the show. But that doesn’t

While Henry Cavill is playing a superhero-of-sorts as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Netflix series, his status as Superman in the DC Universe is still up in the air. So, can we expect a new Superman movie with Cavill front and centre? The Man of Steel actor was asked if there was still “hope” for a comeback. Cavill has recently spoken of his desire to return as the Man of Steel, telling Men’s Health, “There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet. With a Superman movie reportedly in the works f

The Epic Games Store has kicked off its big Holiday Sale 2019 with discounts of up to 75 percent, a $10 coupon that can be rolled into more $10 coupons when used on eligible games, and, as announced last week, the first of 12 free games that will be given out one per day until the end of the month.

Bear in mind that these are daily giveaways, not weekly as Epic has done

We were all a bit shook when Half-Life: Alyx was announced as a VR-exclusive game and had a ton of questions. The team at Tested played about three to four hours of Half-Life: Alyx, and tried out the game on eight different VR headsets. That means the controllers you choose are vital in your ability to nail Half-Life: Alyx. That means you’ll be able to find an inexpensive way to play Half-Life: Alyx that still feels good. Half-Life: Alyx is due out in March 2020, but we’ll update you whenever a
