VGAs GOTY Happy Nomination Shock

185d ago ... Something quite amazing has happened in the world of video games. A video game award show, that has the public opinion of being a glorified trailer exhibit, has done the unthinkable. I’m talking about the VGAs game of the year nominations. Before I get down to the main topic of this article, lets first look at what has not been nominated for goty. There is no Halo 4, which judging by th...

How Video Games Can Save Our Country

193d ago ... Minions! I know you are eagerly awaiting my review of Borderlands 2 and to see if, in my ever omnipotent view, it could rise above what has been coined as the greatest game of 2012, the almighty Guild Wars 2. And to you I say...piss off! You voted for my far superior and deliciously eloquent female counterpart over me. And now you must pay by waiting ever longer! Hahahahahahahahaha! Well, at le...

Guild Wars 2: Full of Character(s)

226d ago ... I've been waiting for Guild Wars 2 for a long, long time. I've never waited for anything as long and anxiously as I have Guild Wars 2. For me, Guild Wars 2 was a godsend, a game made with me in mind. If I could make a game all by myself (that couldn't include future technologies like a holodeck) it would be Guild Wars 2. Although, to be honest, the name is kind of cheesy. I hate it when people...

Borderlands 2: Will it be the same?

239d ago ... The first time I played Borderlands, I didn't like it. Now I love it. My file is(literally) ultimate. I have unlimited money, unlimited shield, and I have no limit to what I can afford so if there is an ammo station nereby, unlimited ammo. It's actually more fun than you think it would be. I never have to complain about dying, I never have to worry about not getting a good gun, and anything I d...

The WSJ Borderlands 2 Review and the standards of criticism

242d ago ... So about a week ago, we were treated to a review of Borderlands 2 from the Wall Street Journal. It was kinda negative, but, even worse, it was flat-out ignorant that not all shooters are trying to be COD. Rather than just laugh at the author for liking COD so much, I think it's important to slow down and just talk about what we need to expect from a critic. (Please bear in mind I've yet to p...

Borderlands - The Vault and Beyond

286d ago ... Yesterday, I finally beat the main story of Borderlands. After holding it off for so long, and with Borderlands 2 on the horizon, I beat it. I defeated the Crimson Lance, I opened The Vault after fighting waves upon waves of relentless Guardians. I fought off The Destroyer and after long and painful, yet fun battle, I killed it. This was a great filling. I had finally beat the game, which is on...

Borderlands 2 Interview with Jeramy Cooke

626d ago ... At PAX I got to chat briefly with Jeramy Cooke, Gearbox Software Art Director for Borderlands 2. Cat: Can you start off by talking about what’s changed about the world of Borderlands for the sequel? JC: As the Art Director, I think you can see on this wall what we really care about, and that was getting out of the desert and seeing the rest of Pandora. When we did the original Borderlands...
