As we reported in our previous Morrowind post, Morrowind 2011 will also get updated this month and the modder behind it has just uploaded a brand new preview video for it. This video showcases the mod’s new effects and does not include any replacement textures, as the modder is currently working on a new set of them. It looks beautiful and this new, version 2.0 update will be released this month… hopefully. Enjoy the video after the jump! Continue reading Morrowind 2011 Version 2.0 – Preview Footage→
Ah, Skyrim. Such an amazing game and yet we haven’t covered it in our performance analysis section. There is a reason to that and that’s obviously due to some mods that we are really looking forward to. Then again, our GTX295 is not powerful enough to handle most of the high-resolution textures so we’d be limited by its low vRam. Add to this that Bethesda didn’t send us a review code and that we need to cover first Serious Sam 3 and there you have it. And while most of you are already enjoying this RPG, some modders felt the need to return and overhaul – for one more time – Bethesda’s previous gem. Yeap, that’s right everyone; Morrowind is about to get another big overhaul this Christmas. Continue reading Morrowind Overhaul Version 2.0 Coming This Christmas→

Contrary to our previous weekly gallery features about GTA IV, this time we’ll be concentrated on the game’s environments. Yeap, no more car screenshots as most of you got tired of watching detailed and beautiful cars. So, what we have for you today are some of the best PC graphics you’ll ever witness. Could these be what the next-generation will bring to consoles? We doubt but then again, who knows. What we do know however is that PC games can achieve photorealistic graphics and the following images are a piece of proof. Enjoy these brand new screenshots from modders AlexFake, dmit.tor, Dpeasant3, [GwM]Chavez, Raigen, DarK64 and legacyy!
