Wreckage is the final chapter of the story, that began with the map “The Harbour” and was continued in the modification “Rainy Days”. It tells the story of three soldiers who try to survive a devastating war between two worlds. The play time is somewhat longer than one hour.

“We are thrilled that, togehter with Crytek, we can give all PC-players the possibility to experience Wreckage in all of its variety,” says Christopher Held: “Wreckage throws you in the middle of a nonstop-action firework with superior vehicle combats, highly detailed landscapes and thunderous teamaction. Using the powerful CryEngine 2, Wreckage features technology like accurate lip synchronization, facial animations and the choice between english or spanish subtitles. We hope that you’ll enjoy the game just as much as we enjoyed its development.”

The game is developed by Christopher Held, Marwin Misselhorn, Patrick Heuser and Thomas Jacobs.

Users reported a banner on top of the website which read: “Note: FilePlanet is no longer being updated and is in the process of being archived.”

So what does this mean to gamers? Nothing, really. Fileplanet is almost irrelevant at this point and there are better hosting sites out there, but the funny thing is the most fond memories that anyone would have of this site — is undoubtedly ‘waiting in a queue’.

Thanks for making that business model big, Fileplanet. Uh, not really.

“We have decided to archive FilePlanet and will eventually stop operating the site,” IGN publisher Peer Schneider commented to Game Front.

“A lot of things have changed over the last decade. A standalone site for downloads of videos, demos, or patches made perfect sense back then, but content delivery is much more integrated now.

“We believe that the idea of a single-purpose PC download site like FilePlanet is one that, unfortunately, has passed. We decided to deemphasize the site last year and double down on other opportunities,” he added.

“We’ll of course continue to run our beta program and game giveaways through IGN and GameSpy – and we’re thinking of ways to continue to help support the modding communities as well.”

IGN had bought the site in 2004, and it hasn’t been the same since then. If you are worried that you may lose your files, fret not! As everything will be available, you just won’t be able to upload any new ones, obviously.

We know the importance of game mods and how awesome they are, but it’s nice to see a prolific game developer talk about them in the same vein as we do. In an interview with G4TV, Todd Howard said that mods are very important for a good single player experience and attract a lot of crowds, giving Bethesda some great community spotlights.

He said that he doesn’t like the fact that so many game companies do not even allow gamers to create their own mods, saying that they instead rely on DLCs, which obviously isn’t half as effective and fun as modding tools are.

He went on to mention a few mods for the game, like the Macho Dragon Mod and the Portal 2′s Space Core Mod and talked about how amazed the development team, him included, is with them.

I guess modding is a better option when compared to DRM and piracy blocking- sarcasm intended.

Bethesda recently released the Creation Kit for Skyrim (as well as a Skyrim Workshop), which was received with a lot of praise by fans, and we believe it truly can change the way we play Skyrim. We have seen so many awesome mods already- like the FXAA injector that improves the lighting heavily, or the epic Battle for Skyrim, and the tons of mods Bethesda themselves developed and showed off recently.

There’s also the new lighting mod which makes Skyrim look absolutely gorgeous, so you should try that out. We even compiled a list of the ten best visually enhancing mods, so have a look at that here, if you want.
