It’s been quite a few years since we’ve had a game where players could fight against vicious Xenomorphs without having to worry about an intergalactic hunter crashing the party. Aliens: Colonial Marines is shaping up nicely so far, with the action blending a nice mix of adrenaline and pants-crappingly good moments of suspense.
But don’t think that this is a game where players can go over the top and just automatically ... [»]
Nowadays, collectors editions are a standard bonus for upcoming games. We’ve seen plenty over the last year or so, with quite a few editions announced for upcoming games such as Mass Effect 3 and Max Payne 3.
The latest shooter from Gearbox seems to be joining the trend now, thanks to some leaked pictures captured by French site Gamekyo, for the upcoming game set in the Aliens Universe. Full pic after ... [»]
I have an unabashed love for Borderlands, the RPG loot-a-thon from Gearbox. It may have been short on actual story, and saddled with one of the most disappointing, anticlimactic endings in a video game ever - but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t some of the most multiplayer fun I’ve had in a game this generation. If there is a ... [»]
Duke Nukem Forever, the perpetually delayed resurrection of misogynistic, line-stealing anti-hero Duke Nukem was finally released this year, thanks to the awesome Gearbox who mopped up the mess left by the now defunct 3D Realms to stitch the Frankenstein of a game together. It was not met with positive critical reception, with our own review saying “You want to like this game, but it does its best to make you hate it.” ... [»]
I struggled to find a decent headline for a story that is as heart touching and wonderful as this.
You’ve likely never heard of Michael John Mamaril, in fact most people outside of his group of friends wouldn’t know who he was but Michael was a massive Borderlands fan and unfortunately also had cancer.He lost his battle with cancer at the young age of 22 and to try and honour his Michael his best friend, Carlo, emailed Gearbox software and asked if they could please put a short eulogy together for Michael ...

Many of you moaned that Borderlands was a dull, uninteresting experience. I’m not going to cast judgement on you (except in my head) - because, despite the disappointing ending, I found Borderlands (especially played with 3 other people) to be a heck of a fun ride. Of course, that doesn;t mean it didn’t have problems. For all it’s openworldedness (that’s ... [»]
If you’re a diehard fan of Gearbox Software's’ cult hit, Borderlands, then you most likely saw some of the leaked footage onto the internet already, for the sequel. Things are looking good so far however, with more impressive visuals, better enemies and most importantly, all new guns.
In an interview with Kotaku, Gearbox Art Director Jeramy Cooke explained how the sequel will be a ... [»]
Remember when we got news last year that Gearbox had official control of the rights to Duke Nukem, and were hard at work to finally finish Duke Nukem Forever? It was fantastic news alright, and many of us were celebrating the fact that a studio with an excellent track record of actually finishing games was going to bring the man himself back.And then the ...

And we’re not just talking about goals here. In an interview with Destructoid, Borderlands 2 art director Jeramy Cooke explained how the team were busy creating a Pandora that was at least a third bigger than the environment in which the original game took place.“It is definitely a bigger world this time around. I’d say we built about a third more space than we had in the last gameâ€. This time ... [»]
I think by now we can all pretty much agree that Duke Nukem Forever wasn’t quite the experience we’d hoped for – but Gearbox isn’t done with the game yet, and maybe some new DLC could spice the game up a little. Well, it’s coming in the form of the "Hail to the Icons Parody Pack,†a bit of DLC that takes ... [»]
The studio behind the mega popular Borderlands game held the license at one point for the cult classic film, and would have gone ahead with adapting it, except for one small problem. The game would have shut the studio down.In an interview with Official Playstation Magazine, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford gave details how the company almost ... [»]
Duke Nukem Forever is a polarising game. Some love it for its “old school†nostalgic charm, while others think it’s a terrible game, a half-baked product that’s riding the wave of nostalgia all the way to the bank. While we’re firmly in the “this game sucks†camp, here’s your chance to form your own opinion; The game’s ... [»]
Finally, it's here. The game that was never going to be. The myth, the legend, the joke that has been circulating around the industry for over a decade now. But can the almighty Duke himself live up to a legend that has managed to eclipse ... [»]
Duke Nukem Forever is – after over a decade of development hell – finally out and available at retail. Unfortunately, it seems that it really just isn’t able to live up to the hype – and is crashing and burning in reviews across the planet. Reviewers have labelled it as crass, puerile and needlessly ... [»]
Yesterday afternoon Sega sent our a very surprising tweet to announce that the long awaited and presumed dead, Alien: Colonial Marines, is alive and well and will be coming to a gaming console near you in 2012.And further more it will be at E3 this year so Geoff and Ian should ... [»]
