August 14, 2009 - 2K Games' upcoming post-apocalyptic shooter Borderlands has a lot to prove this holiday. Developer Gearbox Software is risking the unproven franchise by sandwiching the title between Halo 3: ODST and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, two games expected to stay on top of the sales charts well into the New Year. The company realizes this, and one way it hopes to garner the attention of buyers is with an eye-catching cover. Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford recently talked to IGN about the motives for choosing the game's box art, and how the company is taking the same risk with the cover as it did developing the game.
This sounds awesome. This afternoon, Genvid Entertainment announced two, all-new interactive streaming series at San Diego-Comic Con: DC Heroes United and Borderlands EchoVision Live.
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
TheGamer Writes "I don't think my most controversial video game take should be that controversial, but it is. I'm a video game journalist, so you know I have some bad takes in this broken down serotonin factory I call a brain, but here's one opinion that receives universal pushback: I don't like video game music."
Awesome cover, reminds me of Jamie Hewlett type stuff back in Tank Girl.
Cool stuff indeed. I'm hoping this and Alpha Protocol make October a great Action RPG month.
