The Road to Fallout 4 The Fallout series has a rich history filled with events and figures that all play a big role in the narratives in each of its games. In order to prepare for Fallout 4's impending release in November, we decided to put together a history of the Fallout universe to help briefly immerse you into its expansive post-apocalyptic world. But be weary, plot spoilers for the series will be discussed. Proceed at your own discretion.

Chalgyr's Game Room writes: This week in Memorable Music, I have a few tracks that I would like to share that strike the more emotional cords that we can all have. Im a big softy and I have no qualms in publicly admitting it (so long as theres a fire breathing dragon standing right behind my shoulder). With that being said, here are my more emotionally-inspired tracks. Xenosaga Episode 1 Ending Theme Developed by Monolith before being bought by Nintendo, the next entry into the Xeno series was something else. Being the first of three parts (originally conceived as six) there was a lot of setup to put into place. With everything happening however, Xenosaga in a way is the story about a woman and her friendship with a battle android that she helped to create.

Chalgyr's Game Room writes: Tic Toc Games, with their ex-Wayforward pedigree, knows a thing or two about platforming games. This shines through in the excellent level design, colorful visuals and clever level progression. There are some rough edges to be found here and there, but the overall experience is a rewarding one for fans of the retro platforming genre.

Short Pause: "In recent years, software developers have emerged who have challenged our definition of what a video game is. These developers have crafted wonderful experiences that don't rely on the typical video game tropes. In narrative-driven adventures such as The Chinese Room's Dear Esther and Fullbright's Gone Home, there are no enemies, no combat, and no real danger to the player. The focus of these games is to tell a great story, rather than to collect trinkets or defeat a boss. With Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, developer The Chinese Room has struck again, creating an engrossing world which they use to tell an engaging story. It took me about 5 hours to make my way through Rapture's narrative, and it was a very profound and memorable experience."

EB: "2015 saw the return of two previously beloved music game franchises that had lied dormant for quite some time. Guitar Hero saw an untimely end back in April 2011 when their final DLC pack for Warriors Of Rock released, while Rock Band 3 saw their DLC shut down in the same month two years later. Its no easy feat to bring back a franchise thats been asleep for so long, but with Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero Live, both developers are proving that time away from a series can be a great thing."

Chalgyr's Game Room writes: We recently had a chance to talk with Vilya Svensson from Pixel Ferrets about their Early Access title, Secrets of Grindea. Recently Pierre-Yves had a chance to preview and write up an article about the game for our Better With a Partner series, and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Now we get a chance to discuss how Secrets of Grindea has evolved since its inception back in 2011. Vilya is the artist behind the backgrounds, UI, character portraits and more. For our last question, we are also briefly joined by the other two members of the team: Teddy Sjöström - developer, and Fred Ström - animator and creator of the character sprites.

Chalgyr's Game Room writes: Rick is the name, danger is the game. No, this cheesy line is not what the protagonist of this action/adventure says but it describes what he does: getting involved in extremely dangerous situations. At the beginning of the first stage, after you make a few steps a giant boulder threatens to squash you. So, you run forward and fall in a pit with the rock just above your head and almost land on an angry tribe member, who gets squashed instead of you! What follows is worse.
