News::19-year-old spent a year making this amazing Skyrim mod
Skyrim mods are the best, like the one we just featured that brings in Dishonored powers into Skyrim . This one, though, takes the cake. Falskaar is a new mod and it features nearly 25 hours of new content. That's new characters, new voices, new quests, and a new land mass that's a third of the size of the original game.
All this is made even more impressive when you learn that it's a mod made largely by just Alexander Velicky, a 19-year-old who's using this mod to help him try to get a job at Bethesda.
“I organized everyone involved, but the voice actors themselves recorded all the dialogue and submitted it to me,” Velicky told PC Gamer. "I had some people help me out with a few models and textures, someone wrote a book or two for me… But otherwise all content was implemented, written and developed by me.”
Note that a number of people also recorded voices for the dialogue, and someone even composed an original soundtrack.
You can try out this ambitious mod through Skyrim Nexus. Very impressive stuff.

News::PS Vita gets PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD on July 30
Double Eleven is giving PixelJunk Monsters a fresh coat of paint for PlayStation Vita later this month. PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD will launch on July 30 and July 31 for North American and European PlayStation Network users, respectively.
At $14.99, the price is a bit high for those of us who already own PixelJunk Monsters in one or more forms, but that's worth paying if you happen to be a first-timer. Ultimate HD includes the content introduced in the Encore expansion and Deluxe edition of Monsters, so you're getting what should be the definitive version here.
Still one of my favorite tower-defense titles ever, due in part to the sheer challenge presented.

News::Flashback remake also comes with the original game
VectorCell's reimagining of the classic sci-fi platform game Flashback is coming along. With the tweaks being made to modernize the title, this could end up being a disappointment for long-time fans who have the original version burned into their brain more than a decade later despite the team's intention to retain its "heart and soul." We've certainly been burned by remakes before.
It's hard to say for sure at this point, but one piece of reassuring news is that the original Flashback will be included with the remake. So, worst case, we now have an easy way to play that on modern platforms since this is being published across Xbox Live Arcade (August 21), PlayStation Network, and PC.

News::David Jaffe joins Pixelbionic to Kickstart new vehicular combat game, MotorGun
Pixelbionic and Twisted Metal creator David Jaffe have revealed a Kickstarter for MotorGun, a new vehicular combat game.
The post-apocalyptic cars-and-combat game will have deep customisation elements and revolve around three warring factions, duking it out on open battlegrounds. MotorGun will also include Convoy, Salvage, and Capture The Flag modes, team play and Counterstrike-style deathmatches, according to the freshly-launched Kickstarter.
MotorGun is in development at Pixelbionic, a California-based indie co-founded by development veterans Michael Maxx Kaufman and Mike Arkin. The studio has also brought in Twisted Metal and God Of War creator David Jaffe and Interstate ’76 creator Zack Norman as creative leads on the project.
You can watch MotorGun’s Kickstarter video below.

News::Best Buy has more launch-day Xbox One units for pre-order
Good news for those of you that have any interest in the Xbox One still! Best Buy has received more Xbox One units for pre-order, and these are the launch day editions that have the stupid "Day One 2013" words written on the controller.
That said, Best Buy also has PlayStation 4s up for pre-order still. Amazon is sold out of their initial allocations for both next-gen consoles but still taking pre-orders, Wal-Mart still has day-one Xbox Ones plus various PlayStation 4 bundles, and GameStop is completely sold out of both consoles.
That's about all for the major places you can score the consoles in the United States. What about you international folks? Can you still pre-order either of the next-gen consoles in your area?

GMC is the official automobile maker of Madden 25 . After I finished drawing up car puns, I got to thinking, what vehicle would make for an appropriate Destructoid partner?

News::You'll need to download the rest of Forza 5 at launch
Forza Motorsport 5 will require an online connection at least once to play, as you'll have to download the rest of the game to compliment what is on the disc. Speaking to IGN, Turn 10 Studios head Dan Greenawalt explained how the process of getting the game running will work.
“So when you first boot up the game, we’re going to ask you to log in,” he said. “And when you log in you’re going to get the Drivatars and you’re also going to get a whole bunch of content: tracks and cars. Our production schedule is such that we are putting them in as late as possible and that means making them free as downloadable content on Day One. [But] that is required content to play the game.”
Basically, in order to have Forza 5 available at launch, Turn 10 will be pressing incomplete discs in such a way that it will have the extra month or so to keep working on the game, allowing users to immediately download the rest of the game at launch. Greenawalt likened it to a refrigerator, in that you'll have to fill it once to make it complete, at which point further updates become optional because the initial food is infinite and perpetually unspoiled. I'd like such a fridge. It's a rather clever workaround, especially because Turn 10 likely thought the always-online requirement would make the required day one DLC a non-issue.
Now that the Xbox One can be played offline (aside from a one-time required connection), this does raise a couple concerns, though. For example, what happens when servers are inevitably shut down and Forza 5 discs are rendered unplayable because the required updates are unavailable? There is also something mildly uncomfortable about buying a boxed videogame that is actually incomplete and non-working until you update it. Such is the result of trying to fortify that launch lineup.
