Looks like the SDK has really moved things along -- Gamers Hell has posted up a mod pack for Fallout 3 which should offer a little more enjoyment to the game.

"Accurate Sniper Rifles" does the obvious, the "Amplified Crippled Effects" mod causes more serious effects upon crippling an enemy's body part, the "Inebriation" mod adds a drunken effect to consuming alcohol, and the "Better Companions and Caravans" item allows you to equip whatever you like on your party.

"The company Lighthouse Interactive and the development house Kerberos are keeping on dedicating to the Sword Of The Stars Community, by releasing the second update, 1.6.4, for "A Murder of Crows".

"In years past, NeoGAF has done their favorite moments in gaming, using only MS Paint to show you. Looking back at 2008 brings us some of the coolest moments, great memories that can look amusing to just plain epic, even when in Paint. I purposely left out the names of the games as half the fun is guessing (but if you can’t figure it out, right click and hit properties to see the file name where I put the game)."

"Paradox Interactive has today released the first developer diary of 2009 for its coming PC title, Hearts of Iron III. The diary was written by the Lead Developer, Johan Andersson.

"The Bosslady of the Game Developers Conference has written a post updating us on what we can be expecting from the upcoming convention (March 23rd through the 27th).

Sure, we'll get great speeches from some of the Killzone 2 devs, some Lionhead people talking on Fable II, and something or other about Far Cry 2. The bigger news to come of this...

"I'll be dead honest with you all, the trailer is underwhelming and I think that could be an understatement. Then again, uncompressed, this trailer was about 400mb, so I guess you could see how a thirty-five second trailer could be considered underwhelming."

"In this time of penny-pinching, it makes sense that even the U.S. Army would try saving money everywhere except on the things directly affecting our national security.

Example: More money spent on body armor for our soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq is good; more money spent on costly toys like video game simulators might not be so good.

Nevertheless, the Army plans to spend nearly $18 million on a training simulator that lets soldiers fire virtual guns, drive virtual tanks and launch vi..."

"Dark Void puts players in the shoes of a pilot who can defy gravity with his jetpack. The game takes verticality in a new direction as combat can take place at any height and from any orientation. It's an ambitious game that I'm definitely looking forward to, and we have some new screenshots that might persuade you to agree with me."
