Bethesda Game Studios has just announced details for Fallout 4 Modding and the Creation Kit, with the open beta now available for PC.
Mods and the players who create them have always been an important part of our games, going all the way back to Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls Construction Set.

New quests, environments, characters, dialogue, outfits, weapons and more – with Mods, the possibilities of what you can do are endless. You are creating new experiences that enhance and take our games into amazing and surprising new directions.

This week saw the Blu-ray and DVD release of the movie Sisters, and here is our two minute spoiler free review.
When the Ellis sisters, the always-responsible Maura (Poehler) and impossibly hotheaded Kate (Fey), receive word from their retired mom and dad that their family home is on the market, they discover they have one weekend left to clean out the old junk in their bedroom. As they comb through the artifacts of their teen years, Maura and Kate’s trip down memory lane leads them to a seemingly crazy plan. Looking to recapture their glory days, the sisters throw one final ”Ellis Island” blowout for their classmates, resulting in the cathartic rager that a bunch of ground-down adults really need.
Produced by Tina Fey and Jay Roach (Meet the Parents franchise) and executive-produced by Amy Poehler from a script by Paula Pell (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock), Sisters also features an all-star comedy cast including Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids), Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors), John Leguizamo (Ride Along), John Cena (Trainwreck), James Brolin (Catch Me If You Can), Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters), Rachel Dratch (30 Rock), Samantha Bee (The Daily Show) and Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live).

Here is a short interview with stars Amy Poehler and Tina Fey:
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Sisters, but being a fan of both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler I was curious to find out just what would happen when both of these very funny people were on-screen together.
Amy Poehler plays Maura, a divorced nurse who just wants to help people but is too scared to get back out in the world, and Tina Fey plays her sister Kate who can’t hold down a job, has nowhere to live and has a daughter who doesn’t want anything to do with her. The premise of the film is that their parents, played brilliantly by James Brolin and Dianne Wiest, are selling their childhood home and so Kate and Maura decided to have one last party at the house and they invite all their childhood friends. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
The cast works really well together, and there’s even an appearance by WWE star John Cena as a drug dealer with a lot of tattoos!
If you think the premise sounds a little like Risky Business you would be right, but the film even acknowledges that.
There is both the theatrical version of the film and an extended cut included on the disc.
The extras that come with the film are very funny and will keep you amused after you have finished watching the film, and I do recommend watching them as both Fey and Poehler are extremely funny!
Sisters is a lot of fun and is definitely worth watching – so what are you waiting for?
Sisters is available now on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD.

Hitman Episode 2: Sapienza launches today, seeing Agent 47 target Silvio Caruso, a brilliant but troubled bioengineer who is reportedly working on a DNA-Specific virus able to infect anyone anywhere in the world.
“Sapienza is a strong contrast to the Paris fashion show, it’s the nearest thing to a small town released in a Hitman game which we haven’t done before on this scale,” said Hannes Seifert, Studio Head at Io-Interactive. “It’s great to see players having fun with the additional content we have been releasing weekly, and now with a new location I can’t wait to see what they get up to in the sunshine of Sapienza.”
Hitman started with a Prologue and Paris location in March, Sapienza is Episode 2 and then in May Agent 47 will travel to Marrakesh. From there Hitman will deliver regular monthly content updates, including three additional locations; Thailand, the United States and the season conclusion in Japan later in 2016.
Sapienza is free as part of the Full Experience Pack. The disc version of Hitman arrives in January 2017.

Additional DLC Details:
A Covenant of Blood and Shadows
Join the merciless Dark Brotherhood of the Gold Coast, prowling in the shadows cast by the two great powers of the region. Though at the height of their power, the Dark Brotherhood faces a grave threat in the form of a mysterious black-armored warrior capable of bringing down their best agents. Venture forth for another exciting chapter of The Elder Scrolls Online as you carve a bloody swath across Tamriel in the name of the Dark Brotherhood!
Explore the Gold Coast
The westernmost region of Cyrodiil, the Gold Coast, was last seen by Elder Scrolls players in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Come explore the cities of Anvil and Kvatch during the Interregnum, when the region is awash in intrigue and deadly conspiracies!
Murder for Profit
Sometimes the best way to deal with a troublesome person is permanent removal. As a Dark Brotherhood assassin, you’ll be tasked to fill that need. From simple assassination contracts to killing sprees on the blood-soaked streets of Tamriel’s sprawling cities, carve your path into the good graces of the Dark Brotherhood. The truly skilled may engage in special missions at the behest of their dark masters and fulfill a Black Sacrament, slaying a victim named by the Night Mother herself.
New Assassins’ Passive Skills
This all-new skill line relates to murdering citizens and allowing the Shadows of Sithis to protect you from suffering consequences. Because those deaths were sanctioned by Sithis, you are the hand of the Void; you are the embodiment of death itself. The rules of Justice are for those bound by Nirn, not those who are directed by the ideals of Sithis.
Dark Brotherhood-Exclusive Rewards and Items Earn new items through in-game quests and browse Dark Brotherhood-themed items coming to the Crown Store soon.
