Borderlands 2 is coming to the PS Vita
Sony announced during their Gamescom 2013 presser that Borderlands 2 is coming to the PS Vita. Yes folks, that’s right. Gearbox’s incredibly successful RPG-shooter hybrid will be making it’s way to a handheld device. Fucking awesomeeee. There’s no word yet on how the DLC will be handled, or if it will even be available. I suppose now is a better...

Fight off the evil BAK’LAAG by rising to the occasion, finish your games
It’s moments like yesterday when I press that familiar “purchase” button that I realize I’m drowning in my backlog. Thanks to platforms like Humble Bundle and Steam, with all of those crazy deals my game library just keeps growing and growing. The amount of unfinished content is piling up, and it’s really starting to bog me down. When I clicked...
Call of Duty: Ghosts shows its multiplayer muscle; so, what’s new?

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt cinematic trailer is out, Geralt is still slaying monsters
CD Projekt Red has released a new cinematic trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and it’s fantastic. It looks like the final installment in the franchise will be filled with all of the same genius that made The Witcher 2 one of the best mature themed RPGs in the past few years. Of course, Projekt Red has always been...
According to a writer from Bioware, the gaming industry may be a little more diverse than you think
I try to stay away from what I call “hotspots” as much as possible. Hotspots, or at least my definition of the word, are topics guaranteed to reel in a broad audience generally consisting of enraged individuals. When producing content, I do my best not to segregate on levels of race, gender or even sexuality. In fact, I do my...
Only Saints Row IV Would Have the Special Edition to End All Special Editions
In order to drive more and more “brand new” game sales, developers and publishers have been coming up with more and more ways to entice us into pre-ordering or buying special editions.
