I’d describe Borderlands as having an interesting blend of cheeky violence with brutal survivalism humour. The Wimoweh trailer reassures me that 2K Games and Gearbox have everything in hand. You might well remember “Wimoweh” as the “In the Jungle” song… but would probably not expect to hear it in Borderlands!

Time is running out to be a founder for Ouya
Ouya promises to be the next generation of gaming console – possibly the last generation of gaming console. The background is simple; consoles are expensive and the industry is a closed shop. At the same time people are now able to game much more cheaply than on consoles due to the growth in smartphones, tablets […]
Steel Battalion launches low-tech mecha Kinect game
This is an interesting idea for a game. Capcom have made Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor look very real and there are a few twists too. This is a world without the semiconductor thanks to a microbe that started eating them all. The knock-on effect is that technology stagnates in some areas but continues in others […]
Assassin’s Creed 3 – Rise trailer
This is a clever trailer to launch on July 4th. As America celebrates its birthday, Ubisoft have published a live action trailer for Assassin’s Creed 3 called “Rise”. As in “rise up”. Assassin’s Creed 3 stars a Native American assassin as he battles against the Templar infested British forces. The game will be out for […]
Guardians of Middle-earth trailer
Imagine Middle Earth as a the setting for running battles. That’s not entirely out of character with Tolkien’s setting because there have been very many battles between the forces of good and evil. That said it’s a little strange to see Sauron running around on the battlefield (even, yes, if he did capture Dol Guldur […]
La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia anime trailer
La storia della Arcana Famiglia is a PSP game with a magical mafia – although “mafia” seems a little harsh. The Arcana Famiglia are a self-appointed group, with magical powers, that protects a small island in the Mediterranean from evils like foreign countries and pirates. The Don figure is a leader of the family known […]
The live action Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 ad
I think it’s safe to say that it can be pretty hard to create TV worthy ads for any roleplaying (or related) game. Even the best attempts can come across as cheesy. Computer game companies, I think, have had the most success and they’ve done this by simply tapping into the games themselves and letting […]
E3: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
At E3 Konami took the wraps off three minute long teaser video for the next Castlevania game. The game is expected to be out for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. There’s no official note for Wii U or a release date. The trailer video shows Gabriel Belmont showing just what an army of well […]
E3: Star Wars 1313 clips
Star Wars 1313 is a new video game series from LucasArts. It’s been described as “gritty Star Wars”. The number 1313 comes from “Level 1313” the criminal underground that operates deep below the surface of the planet Coruscant. Players engage the game as a bounty hunter, tracking marks and as it happens – uncovering the […]
