The ArmA engine is not the most flexible thing in the world, but it is very opened ended, and it’s sandbox editor lends itself to modding. To coin a phrase that will make the folks at Webster sigh and the folks at Budweiser sue for copyright infringement, it has “modability”. This modability has transferred over to the next title in the series, ArmA 3....

Player’s Choice: 1] Black Mesa: Source   The amount of work and skill put into this mod, and the professionalism with which it was delivered is nothing short of astounding. If only Valve were working this hard on Half Life 3…         2] DayZ   After falling short of a proposed end-of-year release date, the DayZ project is...

The first time I heard Dan Deacon’s “Pink Batman” was watching an incredible little animated video on YouTube called “Crater Face” *(link at the bottom, that is definitely not why you’re here). The second time I heard it was during one of the many available credit sequences for “the Stanley Parable”. Now,...

Hi guys! Welcome back to ModInformer’s ”Avenues of Exploration”, A series of articles where we explore the rather recent beginnings of a new “Exploration” genre in gaming, or to be more precise: it’s early emergence in the modding scene.

The mod began when two separate teams discovered they were...

Puzzle games are tricky things. The creators have to get inside the mind of their audiences more than perhaps any other genre, to predict what their behavior is going to be when faced with a certain set of circumstances. Valve is a legendary dabbler in this field. If you have ever listened to the developer commentary mode on Half-Life 2 and even Left 4 Dead,...

If a free weekend wasn't enough , Nexuiz now gets Steamworks support! For those unfamiliar to this game, put simply, its Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament mashed together on the Cryengine 3. As if that wasn't enough...

                      Command and Conquer, Red Alert 3 was a difficult game for me to pick up. I am a big fan of strategy games, real time and otherwise, but the level and skill of both macro and micro management demanded for a victory in the online arena turned me off to it. It was a bit like Starcraft: if...

If you’ve ever watched The Walking Dead, you know that aside from the severe emotional trauma and the possibility of being eaten alive, a zombie apocalypse is fun as hell. Suddenly nothing costs money, private property only exists under the point of a gun, and shooting that annoying neighbor is totally justified. Aside from your dysfunctional/plucky/murderous...
