Benjamin Franklin once wrote: Nothing is certain except death and taxes. He’s right, but in our modern era of gaming, I’d like to add one more certainty to that list: that your favorite video game franchise will one day release ...

In case you missed it, Bethesda revealed both Elder Scrolls VI and Starfield (one of their first original IPs in forever) at E3 2018. The thing is, it's going to be a long time until they actually see the light of day: or we see them at all...

25 years ago Bethesda launched The Elder Scrolls: Arena, which started a fantasy world that's continued to dominate the conversation of video game high fantasy. But it wasn't until 2002's Morrowind that the publisher really struck it big, e...

For those of you who don't know I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Over the years I've developed a lot of personal recipes, including a mean garlic butter seared salmon with Dijon mayonnaise that I like to make for my wife. I'm also in t...

You'd have to be terribly boring or adverse to trying new things to have never played a game you didn't enjoy. That’s just the way things are, and it’s not always the game’s fault. Sometimes the situation you’re in s...

The Elder Scrolls: Legends was met with a tepid response upon its early 2017 launch, but thankfully Bethesda hasn't given up on it. Over the course of the past few months I've been really taking to it, due in part to its studio swap and int...

Over the past few years I've combed through Chelsea Monroe-Cassel's Warcraft cookbook and have had a blast re-creating her recipes. She does a great job of incorporating the theme of the source material into her work, and now, after hitting...

Bethesda intended to bring The Elder Scrolls to mobile devices this year, but the game in question, Blades, needs more time. The developer confirmed today that the title will now launch in early 2019. The Elder Scrolls: Blades is a first-p...

If there's a collective of mobile titles I point to whenever somebody asks me for a smartphone game that doesn't cost any money but is still fair to fans, Fallout Shelter is usually the second title I bring up. Since launching more tha...

When the Nintendo Switch was announced, it had the token ferocious initial wave of Nintendo support with only a few other parties joining in. Many publishers, both western and eastern based, were in "wait and see" mode after the Wii U, but ...

Bethesda, hilariously, has had a hell of a time dealing with Sony policies over the years. Sony infamously blocked Bethesda when it came to console mods, and now here the publisher is dealing with another issue in 2018. This time, speaking ...

The first five years of the current generation of consoles have been littered with remasters of last-gen games. They're popular, people haven't played those games in a while, and they're an easy way to make a buck. They make perfect sense a...

Prey's first DLC, Mooncrash, is a starkly different experience than the original game. Mooncrash is a roguelike "infinitely-replayable" quest to escape an alien-infested moon base. It has been well-received. In the add-on's first upda...

At E3 this year, Bethesda poked fun at the joke that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is available on basically everything. They did this not only with a funny trailer but by releasing an actual working version of the game for Alexa devices (eve...

At last year's E3, Bethesda unveiled the "Creation Club" for Skyrim and Fallout 4. Available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, it was a way for Bethesda is (essentially) monetize mods from the community. More importantly, it was bringing more conten...

During its E3 2018 press conference, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls: Blades, a "massive" new first-person RPG built for mobile and playable in landscape or portrait mode. Bethesda's Todd Howard described it as the team wanting "an exp...

It wasn't much of a reveal, but for anyone wondering about the next game in The Elder Scrolls franchise, Todd Howard wants you to know Bethesda is hard at work on The Elder Scrolls VI. The game was revealed at the end of the company's ...

We've all joked about Skyrim being released on every platform and now Bethesda is getting in on the fun with Skyrim: Very Special Edition. It's Skyrim! But playable using Alexa! And on your refrigerator! Keegan-Michael Key is a delight but...

The Elder Scrolls Online just keeps growing. That's both in terms of content and players. During Bethesda's E3 press conference, director Matt Firor took the stage to reveal two upcoming expansions. First, a werewolf-themed add-on cal...

Bethesda has been showing the Switch a lot of love and that trend continues with The Elder Scrolls: Legends. The digital card game is being ported to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Along with plans for new cards, new modes, ...

Creating digital card games is a tough gig, even for giants like Hearthstone. You have to constantly be shifting the goal posts to get people to buy into new sets, balance them, maintain a pro scene if applicable, and keep folks addicted wh...

Noclip continues to be one of my favorite projects within the industry. Their behind-the-scenes documentary series covering the development of DOOM, The Witness, and many others are some of the most inspiring pieces of work to someone such ...

The Elder Scrolls Online is about to dump a super lore-heavy expansion on us -- Summerset. It takes us back to the Summerset Isles (and Artaeum), a place that hasn't been touched in the games since the very first entry -- Arena --...

Well, it happened -- Morrowind is coming to the Xbox One by way of backward compatibility. No longer do I need to rely on my fished-out original Xbox to play the console version of the game (as I often do along with Jet Set Radio Future), a...

Since earlier this week, a number of digital retailers are discounting large swath of Bethesda PC games from the publisher's catalog. You'll find discounts at DLGamer, Fanatical, GamersGate, and Green Man Gaming. The sale is essentially the...
