Do you like running around freely and shooting at anything that moves with a fancy firearm out of your collection of a bazillion? Do you laugh at corpses as you strip precious loot away from their fallen carcasses? Or perhaps you just want to have a deadly robot minion do all the destructive work for you while you sit back and look all cute and innocent? Whatever your reason for delving back into the world of Borderlands may be, there are even more possibilities the second time around. If you...

Imagine if Shank, Klei Entertainment's acclaimed 2D beat'em-up, sired a love-child with the likes of Tenchu, or even Metal Gear Solid. The result of such a romance would be Mark of the Ninja, the next big project to come out of the Vancouver-based studio, and without a doubt one of the most impressive independent game showings at this year's PAX East. Mark of the Ninja is by and large the antithesis of Shank. Within moments of the demo, it becomes clear that Klei...

Assassin’s Creed III was easily one of the most anticipated must-see titles showcased during PAX East this year. It is easy to think of Ubisoft’s flagship franchise as a minimalist annual contender which will always offer more of the same with minor tweaks here and there, but the latest project has actually been in development for a couple of years now.

More importantly, isn’t it great to actually have an answer to that question? The Lollipop Chainsaw booth at PAX East featured all of these things, and offered up a gameplay demo that deserves quite a few cartwheels and pom pom shakes. It was certainly one of...

At PAX East this year, Sega was eager to show off its Gearbox Software developed FPS title, Aliens: Colonial Marines. With a massive replica of Hadley’s Hope and a full sized power loader being attacked by a voracious xenomorph, the display was easily one of the most impressive of the entire convention. But not to be outdone by the attractive scenery, within the construct of the space colony were two rooms, one to showcase the single-player campaign and another to go up against a team of...

Rockstar, a studio known for its groundbreaking work in sandbox games, has done it again – this time with an entirely different genre. LA Noire is a mystery thriller with an old-movie feel; you’ll solve crimes, put degenerate lowlifes behind bars and drive through eight miles of beautifully recreated 1940’s Hollywood.  This is not Grand Theft Auto. It’s sort of like a playable Dick Tracy, only without ridiculous characters and with a potentially memorable story. For those of you...
