Lucy, The Ghoul, and Maximus are the three archetypes of the characters you'll find in Fallout: the vault dweller, wasteland wanderer, and Brotherhood of Steel follower. So, if you'd rather be those characters... Read more ›

Visions of Mana, the next entry in Square Enix's Mana series, sadly won't have co-operative multiplayer. 1993's Secret of Mana was celebrated for allowing players to join forces against its hordes of squidgy, colourful enemies and many games in the series since have played similarly. Visions of Mana, though, will be single player only due to the impact multiplayer would have on design and pacing. Read more Read more ›
