Borderlands 2 launches on September 21st across the world or a few days before that, on the 18th, if you’re in the States. If you pre-order the game then you’ll get access to the Borderlands 2 Premier Club. Borderlands was a surprise hit for me. I really enjoyed it. I’m not in the shoot and […]
Skyrim: To Lydia with Love
Have you had the Lydia experience in Skyrim? I lost her against a powerful necromancer hanging around with a bunch of dangerous vampires. I can’t say she was entirely without blame when it came to her death… but it doesn’t seem right to speak ill of the dead.
Hacking the early access Mass Effect 3 Facebook decoder
Do you want early access to Mass Effect 3? You have a chance if you have a go at hacking into a decoder on Facebook. The competition is being run by Xbox UK. The assumption is that these codes are only good for Xbox 360 players – there’s a chance they’ll be geo-locked to the […]
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings on the Xbox 360

Do the NeverDead teaser videos live up to expectations?
I rather liked the pitch and artwork from NeverDead. We had a hero who could not die. A world living under threat of a demonic plague. We had action and angst in equal measure. I’m not sure about the teaser videos they’ve released though. The game looks too chaotic for my tastes. First up is […]
NeverDead teasers
The hero is Bryce Boltzman who was cursed with enternal life after daring to challenge the Demon King once before.
