One of the benefits to getting a massive game like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PC is the incredibly robust modding community. In the months since Skyrim's release modders have already done impressive things like improving textures, adding more content and changing dragons into flying versions of Macho Man Randy Savage. All of this has been done without any modding tools.
One of the things Bethesda is known for is releasing impressive modding tools and their upcoming Creation Kit is no doubt going to invigorate Skyrim with even better mods. While there still isn't a firm release for the Creation Kit, we have just received a video going through some of the things we can expect from it. The coolest part is by far the integration with Steam Workshop, a way to esily upload and download mods right from within Steam. Check out the new video below.
It's less than two months until Mass Effect 3 is released and if you're anything like me, you're in full "don't let anything get spoiled about Mass Effect 3" mode. Usually I avoid any teasers or trailers this close to release but the trailer sent out today by Bioware focuses on the voice cast for Mass Effect 3 and stays away from any potential major spoilers. We get a little behind-the-scenes action with some returning favorites like Seth Green and Martin Sheen as well as newcomers Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jessica Chobot.
Interestingly enough, Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character looks nothing like him while Jessica Chobot's is a mirror image. Good job Bioware. Now I have to choose between Ashley, Miranda or Chobot in the love department. Thanks for the extra headache.
Mass Effect 3 is set to release March 6 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in North America and on March 9 in Europe.
Check out the video below and let us know if you're as excited as us here at TAG to get your hands on it.
The X-Men are easily one of the most famous groups in all of comic books and part of their appeal definitely comes from the enormous amount of characters that have been created. In the upcoming X-Men Destiny this concept is put into action as you create yourself a brand new mutant to join the X-Men universe and make choices to align yourself with either the proud X-Men or the more villainous Brotherhood of Mutants.
This latest behind the scenes video for the upcoming X-Men Destiny dives into what makes this concept so interesting by showing various developers experiences with the game so far. This new video even marks an appearance by the man himself, Stan Lee, who helped create the X-Men back in the day.

We have learned a lot about E'lara and Caddoc, the two main characters of Hunted: The Demon's Forge in past trailers. This new trailer, Descent in Mystery, looks at the world of Hunted and Seraphine, a spirit who guides the two heroes. Voiced by Lucy Lawless, Seraphine acts as the instigator of the story. She seeks the aid of E'lara and Caddoc in order to restore her to her physical body as well as solving the mystery behind a wave of disappearances in local towns.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge launches on May 31 in North America and June 3 in Europe for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Check out the brand new behind the scenes trailer below.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge might seem like a really simple game at first glance. It is a fantasy co-op game with one player in the role of a human warrior and one player in the role of an elven archer. However once you dig into the game you'll find that it's more than just some kind of medieval Gears of War.
inXile Entertainment is really trying to do something unique with Hunted. While the two characters might seem cliche, the developers are trying to make them interesting by giving them great personalities and creating a nice relationship between them. They are also going above and beyond with the co-op. Hunted won't just be two characters mindlessly slaughtering enemies together. There are all kinds of cooperative tricks like creating magic links to boost power and using spells that will assist the other player. inXile is also hoping to carry over this strong cooperative feeling to single player as well, something that certain has proven difficult for many games.
This new video does a great job of explaining exactly what you can expect from Hunted: The Demon's Forge. Hunted releases on May 31 in North America and June 3 in Europe for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
