A bunch of people on my Xbox 360 Friends list are back to playing Fallout: New Vegas, thanks largely to last week’s release of the Lonesome Road DLC pack, which is to be the final story-expanding DLC release for New Vegas.

They’re all a bunch of suckers.

Tomorrow, Bethesda Softworks is releasing another DLC pack for New Vegas. Unlike Lonesome Road and its three predecessors, this Gun Runners’ Arsenal pack in no way relates to the story. Instead, it’s all about weapons. Many, many, many weapons. Oodles of them. All types too. Bethesda has detailed many of them in a series of four blog posts (check them out here, here, here and here) and there’s still one more to come! The last post will run tomorrow, just as the DLC is going up online for download on your digital delivery storefront of choice.

You can get the whole, massive pack for 320 MS Point or $3.99 starting tomorrow, September 27. Of course, if you’ve already sped through Lonesome Road and the rest of the DLC after finishing the game, the many new toys aren’t going to do you a ton of good.

Gaming against AI could make you more confident with real teammates

Turns out getting beaten by bots wasn't the worst thing after all

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.

As Sony closes the door on PS3 games, RPCS3 has preserved thousands on PC

The open-source emulator now considers 2,681 PS3 titles fully playable before Sony stops selling games through the console

Sony is preparing to close the PlayStation Store on PS3, ending new purchases globally by July 2027. Less than two weeks after that announcement, the team behind RPCS3 revealed a very different milestone.

The open-source PS3 emulator now lists 75% of the console’s tracked library as playable on PC. That covers 2,681 of 3,559 games, and the rating means they can be completed with acceptable performance and no game-breaking glitches.

This PS5-exclusive Game of the Year is now running on PC… sort of

Sony isn't planning PC ports for its PlayStation exclusives, but that isn't stopping the emulation community.

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention.

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.
