REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Borderlands Fan Gets Eulogized by Claptrap

Posted on Friday, November 4 @ 10:28:50 Eastern by


When Michael John Mamaril was taken by cancer at just 22, his friend Carlo reached out to Gearbox Software to ask for a special way to honor his Borderlands-loving pal. The result is embedded below.

Claptrap sends off Michael with a touch of humor and tons of reverence in one of the most heartfelt instances of fan appreciation ever. And when Gearbox says Michael will live on forever in the Borderlands, they mean it. The late fan will be inserted into Borderlands 2 as an NPC.

Thumbs up to both Gearbox and Carlo for remembering this gamer in such an awesome way.

[Thanks, NecroWolf!]

    I never really saw what Gearbox was like even after Borderlands but this really made me smile knowing a company can still care about its fans. Keep it up Gearbox!
