Given the complex systems in Fallout: New Vegas , it's easy to see why the added benefit of a keyboard and mouse is so important here. Of course, another reason to use this control scheme is that most mods don't really support controllers either, which is a bum

However, the weapon compensates for this high damage and rate of fire by introducing massive recoil that can make the weapon quite unwieldy at times, especially in long-range shootouts. Users are better off closing the distance and limiting their shots with this weapon to make the most of

Players who’ve spent enough time in Counter-Strike 2 secrets Source and CS:GO have probably heard of the term bunnyhopping. Essentially, bunnyhopping involves jumping while strafing to get a slight speed boost that can give a considerable edge in close combat encount

December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I'm also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And for my family fun I'm looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant

Given the first-person viewpoint of this game, it's easy to see why using a keyboard and mouse is optimal for players who employ guns. Of course, melee players don't really need to do the same since they can just swing wildly in the vicinity of most enem

Unsurprisingly, when Surf Maps steadily became popular in CS:GO , other older Surf fans compared some prominent elements from the Source variation and the CS:GO variation. In terms of overall differences, it seems Surfing in Source is much smoother given more customizable options. In terms of specif

When it comes to first-person shooting game series, there are few as renowned as Call of Duty . Call of Duty: Warzone is one of the latest installments to join the battle royale club. The game is a massive success with play

Due to this simple mechanic, Surf Maps often feature various ramps of increasing difficulty. And if players get bored enough, some Surf Maps feature combat elements that try to incorporate the map’s rather chaotic environm

The Bayonet’s Crimson Web skin was released in 2013, and it’s since been one of the most valuable knife skins. It gives this knife’s blade a bright red coat of paint and tops it off with an elegant black web patt

Before I tear into 2012 titles like Alan Wake: Night Springs , Mass Effect 3 , BioShock: Infinite , SSX , and Borderlands 2 , it's time for me to play catch-up after a busy November of reviews. I managed to resist the pull of both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 , though it will be a holiday miracle if I don't end up caving this month and enlisting in one or the other military campaign. However, more importantly, I'm about to return to the hallowed halls of the assassins for Assassins' Creed: Revelations . Desmond's fourth trip into the Animus was one of my most anticipated titles of 2011 and I'm fully committed to becoming a master assassin - as well as collecting all the miscellaneous garbage Ubisoft has scattered around Constantinople. I've also got to clean-up some collectibles as well as pawn n00bs in a few of October/November's biggest titles, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Gears of War 3 . That, and I'm going to dance my heart out in Dance Central 2 - and if high scores and smooth dance moves aren't enough motivation, I've got a bet to

According to the Steam marketplace, a Steam user purchased the weapon for $603.75 on October 9th. Some sources claim that the weapon sold for more than $8000 on third party websites, which is absolutely mind-boggling. Yet third party sales aren’t as reliable as the ones found on Steam itself, so they should be taken with a grain of s

A former meta-defining weapon, the SG552 was nerfed , and for good reason. The Terrorist exclusive SG 553, or Krieg as it is known by many, was able to do everything an AK could do, but with a scope. Although the rifle is not a must-have weapon anymore, it is still a fantastic gun. It is an excellent weapon at holding angles, making it a beast in post-plant situations. It also is quite capable in longer-range engageme

The M9 Bayonet — not to be confused with the regular bayonet from earlier in this list — features the famous Crimson Web skin. The cosmetic gives the serrated knife a bright red coat of paint and black web marki

This December my gaming focus is squarely centered on the PS3 versions Skyrim and Assassin's Creed: Revelations . I still have yet to give Arkham City a whirl, but it is on my short list to play. On the PC front I'm still playing Deux Ex: Human Revolution . What can I say? I'm a perfectionist, and it's a great game. Racing games have never been my forte but Forza Motorsport 4 will be the next game I purchase as I try to broaden my horizons a bit. However, I'm still itching with anticipation for Mass Effect 3 , and wonder how many play-throughs of ME2 I can manage before I get my conditions "just right." Stay safe during the holidays Rant
