Trailers: 14 minutes inside the demented mind of Randy Pitchford

Also known as Borderlands 2 to some. I don’t know what Gearbox’s President has got against midgets, but his team certainly knows how to make a pretty looking game. The “toon-shaded” style introduced in the first game seems slightly more pronounced here and the greater, more colorful vistas just give it more opportunity to show off some of the most satisfying visuals in video games. Add in some improved AI path-finding, more crazy guns, and a villain by the name of “Handsome Jack,” and you’ve got the ingredients for an awesome looking game.

Trailers: Gearbox has heard your screams (because they’re not in space)

With the debacle that Duke Nukem Forever turned out to be, I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that the developers at Gearbox have their heads up in the clouds. But thankfully, they’re fully grounded and listening to your pathetic cries for a good Aliens game. Obviously, it’s pretty impossible to judge a game based on one trailer, but this look at Aliens: Colonial Marines does have aliens in it. That’s half the battle in making a good game, right?

Gamescom 2011: Borderlands 2 teaser

Nobody likes a tease. We should fill this mook full of toon-shaded lead until he comes back with some gameplay! Now the only way I can tide myself over ’til 2012 is by dreaming of a fight between this new fellow and Brick and hoping that some industrious young animator out there decides to turn my dream into a Team Fortress 2 style short. You can do that for me, can’t you, industrious young animator?

Reactions: Borderlands 2, The Witcher 2 make 2012 even better

I'm putting all my points into the beard stat!

I’ve got some good news and some bad news folks. We’ll get the unsavory business out of the way first: the Xbox 360 version of CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has been delayed from Q4 2011 to Q1 2012. The reasons for the delay were cited as a need for extra polish and, more importantly, a legal dispute between CD Projekt Red and Namco Bandai over international distribution rights for the 360 version. Can somebody please just cast a charm spell and get this game in my hands as soon as possible?

Reactions: Duke Nukem Forever has gone gold

And it’s got a launch trailer to prove it…an appropriately crude launch trailer. I’ll give the Duke this: he’s probably the only video game character who could make Billy Squier’s “The Stroke” work in a trailer. And all polygonal titties aside, DNF seems to have all the ingredients that made the series fun in the first place.

Trailers: Duke Nukem’s shrinkage

Don’t shrink too much, Duke! We might not be able to find you on release day and everybody will think you’ve been delayed again.

Reactions: The headline would be too infuriating to read

But the bad news is a little more bearable after watching the video, right? Right? God damn you, Duke Nukem Forever! And what’s up with the international release (June 10th) coming before the North American release (June 14th)? It’s un-American, and if I know one dude who represents America, it’s the Duke.

Reactions: Duke Nukem Forever shipping May 3rd

Yeah, you read it right. May 3rd, 2011, the King returns. And you thought you’d only see pixelated boobies in GTA trailers for the rest of your life.
