HP Pre 3 Coming In June, European Pre-Ordering Open

Fallout New Vegas DLC Honest Hearts Not Playing Nice With Save Files
We prefer to think of Obsidian games as flawed masterpieces instead of just flawed, but when it's coming to the point where there's literally no release without at least a few corkers, it's hard to stay all zen about it. Well, hard for people who don't love Obsidian like we do, but they sure don't … [Read more...] about Fallout New Vegas DLC Honest Hearts Not Playing Nice With Save Files
