Atomic Gamer: If you're an old school PC gamer, you've probably got a list of classic 90s franchises you'd love to see making a return, either with new games or remakes of the originals. But I doubt that many gamers out there would put Rise of the Triad on that list. But considering how seriously today's FPS games are taking themselves, maybe we should have been putting it on our lists. Rise of the Triad was made using id Software's first 3D engine, the one at the core of 1992's genre-defining Wolfenstein 3D.
OX writes: "Battlefield 1 is out this week, and it takes the military shooter series to World War 1. This conflict was one of the most bloody and horrifying in modern history, but that doesn't preclude it from including an unexpectedly moving section where you play as a pigeon. It's not the first time a game has let us briefly, bizarrely be an animal, as Show of the Week discovers."
News - Soundtrack from Andrew Hulshut of Brutal Doom and Rise of the Triad.
Outside Xbox:
" Merry Fallout Christmas! In the spirit of the season, we bring cheer to the residents of Fallout 4's Sanctuary by decking the halls of the tumbledown shanty town. Some would say a light-up Christmas tree that requires three large generators to power is excessive in a town that doesn't have a clean water supply, but those people are grinches whom you must ignore.
