I am hardly the only one thoroughly (and still thoroughly) enjoying Borderlands 2. It seems five million people have graciously brought our Vault Hunter friends into their homes, trying to rid the world of Handsome Jack and Hyperion forever. An army of that size is certainly enough to do the job.

I can state with conviction I don’t regret praising Borderlands 2. Gearbox’s recent outing evolves in many ways and so effortlessly denotes the first game into obscurity to become the one and true Borderlands. The studio has silenced critics and resolved the experimental side of a new IP, showcasing in broad view that wacky [...]

Before I go into anything, note there’s spoilers in this post. If you haven’t finished Borderlands 2, go play and come back.
Inasmuch as anything, saying Borderlands 2 has the framework of a functioning story is utterly strange. The first game was notable for its subtle narrative–strictly as a mechanism to keep the chaos going–so to declare Gearbox [...]

Awesome! The first actual review for Holygrenade! And what better game to give the royal treatment than Borderlands 2? A decisive sequel for an experimental IP, and the first major title leading to Christmas. Important stuff if you follow the industry intently. Anyway, here is my review of Gearbox’s Borderlands 2.

This series will center around video gaming as mostly every [...]

After three incredibly long years, Gearbox’s lovingly strange co-op gun-pocalypse is back, with enthusiasm and interest peaking to absurd levels. Just this morning, 2K declared Borderlands 2 is their most pre-ordered title in the UK, with Take-Two’s British sales director telling MCV, “We’re exceptionally happy with the level of support gamers have shown Borderlands 2, and [...]

In following video game news for the better part of seven years, I’ve learned all-out rage is short-lived. Particularly with Mass Effect 3‘s ending, where hatred for BioWare and EA reached paramount levels only to dissipate two months later. And headlines from media sites feeding the furore certainly didn’t help EA’s public relations department.

Man, I’m tired. I awoke this morning to another article decrying Gearbox for statements made over its self-proclaimed “girlfriend mode”, a skilltree for DLC character Mechromancer which is actually named “Best Friends Forever”. And before that, Crystal Dynamics dared challenge the notion that video games cannot handle rape correctly, saying Lara Croft was “empowered” by the crippling [...]
