In an announcement today, 2K Games revealed that a sequel to the highly successful RPG/FPS hybrid Borderlands is in the works, set for release during the next fiscal year.
Few details have been released, but Borderlands 2 is slated for release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC platforms, with new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons, and equipment. It will also feature new, unexplored areas of Pandora for players to discover.
Majesco Entertainment has released a new set of gameplay screenshots for BloodRayne: Betrayal.
The upcoming PSN and XBox Live Arcade title is a violent, side-scrolling brawler being developed by WayForward. Featuring hand-drawn graphics, fluid animations, and a positive deluge of gore, the title is due in August.
Shadows of the Damned is a paradox.
It’s the product of three acclaimed creators each considered a master of their respective craft mimicking the same sort of B-movie many professional filmmakers (aside from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, of course) scorn. It’s crude, lewd, sophomoric, and — most damningly — not nearly as action-packed as it thinks.
In defiance of all this, the game has an undeniable charm. It’s colorful, its cast is charismatic, and while it has more than its share of Suda51′s trademark Dadaist quirks, they’re still largely not so bizarre as to drive non-fans away.
But I hope you can stomach dick jokes, because good lord.
Mexican demon hunter Garcia F*cking Hotspur (yes, that’s his name) may be foul-mouthed, almost illiterate, and crass, but he loves his girl Paula something fierce. So when Fleming, lord of all demons and creepy sex offender, first kills her and then kidnaps her because Garcia won’t acknowledge the demon lord has a bigger metaphorical penis, our hero leaps in after his beloved without so much as putting on a shirt, armed only with his trusty ex-demon companion and weapon: Johnson.
Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t write this stuff.
I have over fifty emails so far asking if we have any more Team Fortress 2 Righteous Bison weapon codes for Steam. I certainly do. How many exactly do I have left? Thirty.
Now, before you start bombarding my inbox with emails begging for a code, how about you do this instead?
Help us hit over 1000 Facebook “likes” on our Facebook page. We are about sixty or so “likes” away. Once we hit 1000 “likes” I’ll post 5 codes on our Facebook wall. From then on, for every 25 extra “likes” I’ll post another 5 until I run out of codes.
Got it? Good. Now, GET TO IT!
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment released a new trailer for the forthcoming download-only, multiplayer first-person shooter, Gotham City Impostors. The game uniquely allows players to customize their own toons and impersonate their favorite heroes or villains. The game also includes exotic customization options which allow you to choose from bizarre costumes, unique gadgets, and well-known and creative weapons. Gotham City Impostors is set to release in the winter 2012 for $15 or 1200 Microsoft points.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios are ecstatic to present their newest edition to the Mortal Kombat team, Freddy Krueger. To balance the odds in the arena, Freddy had to undergo slight modifications; he now sports two knife-accessorized hands to slash his opponents. Freddy will be available for download on the 360 and PlayStation 3 for $4.99 or 400 Microsoft Points on August 9.
I’m trying my best to keep up with the demand of readers that are requesting a free weapon code for TF2. So, here are more. I’ll continue to post more throughout the day as I grab them from the WETA booth at Comic Con 2011.
Again, be nice and only grab one code. Enjoy!
I stopped by the WETA booth and grabbed as many codes as I could for the new TF2 Righteous Bison weapon for the Solider class. If you play TF2 (and why wouldn’t you), copy/paste one of the codes below into Steam to claim your free gun! I’ll be posting more free gun codes throughout the day. Just stay tuned to the this post.
Howdy everybody! I know it has been a bit since the last Friday Fix but hopefully I will once again be able to administer your weekly dose of all the most newstastic news the site has to offer. The dry season for gaming that is summer soldiers on, but the movie theaters appear to have taken up the torch of geekiness. Yet another superhero movie will be gracing the big screen — the purposefully retro Captain America – while Harry Potter’s finale is breaking all kinds of records. If you have never read The Fix, it is easy to follow: I gather up all the greatest news from around the site and then I pick a band for your listening pleasure.
The band for this week is going to be The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The band is comprised of the stars of the award winning documentary Dig! along with The Dandy Warhols. BJM has a unique retro quality to their sound that never sounds forced or contrived. Be sure to check the video to see what I mean. Also if you like music at all, you should watch Dig!, which is both heartbreaking and uplifting and overall just a phenomenal film.
Now on to the news!
That is all for this week’s Fix; be sure to check back next Friday for more!
![[Review] Ms. ‘Splosion Man (XBLA)](http://pixelatedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Ms-Splosion-Man.png)
It seems whenever Twisted Pixel comes up, I have nothing but good things to say. Then again, given its small repertoire of quirky, challenging, and, most importantly, fun titles on the Xbox LIVE Arcade, it’s really hard to find fault.
Thankfully, with the recent release of Ms. ‘Splosion Man, the company’s reputation is not about to change.
An action platformer with a simple premise and an equally simple control scheme, the original ‘Splosion Man was a rich, complex, and absurd title that really showed off what Twisted Pixel had to offer. It was a game as unafraid of self-deprecation as it challenged its players with intense, pulse-pounding levels walking the line between complex and controller-breaking frustration.
Now, Twisted Pixel has taken the route Namco did with Ms. Pac-Man, giving the lead character a pretty bow and a feminine paint job. But just how does Ms. ‘Splosion Man stack up?
