Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops trailer

By Ryan Fleming January 28, 2011

The list of developers for games that are PC only is sadly dwindling. There was a day when the PG gamer was king, but the market is growing smaller all the time, much to the regret of a large, and vocal section of gamers. But keep your head up, PC gamer, there are still some top shelf options coming soon for you. Developer Viva Media, the developer responsible for the hit game Stalker, returns with the third-person shooter Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops.

You play as both a CQC expert with demolitions experience, as well as a stealth operator, allowing you to choose the type of style you want to play. As you journey through some of the world’s most exotic and dangerous locations, massive open levels will let you choose the path, and the way you want to approach it. If you want to sneak by and play the game as stealth, you can do so. If you wish to unleash great anger and furious vengeance upon the enemy hordes, go for it.

Check out the trailer below, and look for Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops for PC only, on April 5.

8 essential tips for starting out in Outriders

Outriders game

Sitting somewhere between a looter shooter like Destiny 2 and a third-person shooter like Gears of War, Outriders asks the player to juggle a lot of concepts very quickly. Not only do you have to learn how the basic mechanics work, but then there are the deeper systems like skills, abilities, classes, loot, and more to get a grip on. The beta was a fantastic way to introduce the basics of how the game would function, but if you held off on playing until the full release, jumping in could be a little intimidating.

What sets Outriders apart from other games of its kind is that it isn't designed to be played forever. Outriders features a fully complete story that you can tackle alone, or with friends, that can be replayed if you find yourself hooked. If you are playing with friends, then knowing how to be most effective on the battlefield will lead to some awesome moments of teamwork and synergies that are some of the most satisfying you can get. To make sure you're ready to throw down with your pals online, take a moment to read up on these essential tips for starting out in Outriders.

Is Manor Lords multiplayer or co-op?

A medieval market in Manor Lords.

You can easily lose hours designing your village and appeasing your citizens in Manor Lords all by yourself. There are so many different avenues to achieve victory, but the only competition or help you can normally find is in the form of NPCs. Other factions around the map can be helpful or harmful depending on how you play, but what if you wanted to team up with a friend to combine resources, or perhaps compete to see who can crush the other first? Many strategy and city builders thrive on multiplayer components, but does Manor Lords offer those same modes? Make sure you know the answer before making your purchase if that's your intention.
Is there multiplayer or co-op in Manor Lords?
To cut to the chase, the answer is no. Manor Lords is a purely single-player experience through and through. There are no cooperative or competitive modes in the game at all, so there's no way to interact with anyone else either on PC or console. This game was just released out of early access, and there is plenty of content on the way, however, we regret to inform you that multiplayer is not in the plans for the time being.

One developer took to the Steam forums to release an FAQ on the game. One question specifically asked if there is any multiplayer or cooperative gameplay in the game. The response said that "he focus is on a refined single-player experience, with no multiplayer or cooperative modes planned at the moment."

From the moment you begin your adventure in Fallout: New Vegas, you've already cheated death. Your first playthrough of the game should be done as the developers intended, though maybe with a couple of mods to make the experience a little smoother, but nothing that breaks the game. That said, it's been over a decade since the game came out, so odds are you've already played through the intended way at least once. This is when you can have some fun tinkering with the game and play using console commands and cheats if you're on the PC version of the game. There are a ton of commands you can input to manipulate your character, the world, objects, and more. Here's a full rundown of all the cheats there are and how to activate them.
How to enter console commands
Opening up the command console to type in your cheats is just a single keystroke away. While in the game (not paused), hit the ~ key located below your escape key. This will remove your HUD and bring up the prompt to type in any of the below cheats.
