With BioShock Infinite less than two weeks away from release, we are getting a few more bits and pieces about Booker DeWitt's upcoming adventures in Columbia. The new False Shepherd trailer shows skyhook mayhem, hand-stabbing and DeWitt's tendency to drink elixirs with no labels.
Before Gearbox Software came up the look and personalities of Borderlands characters Roland, Mordecai, and Lilith, they devised the basic archetype of each class, original represented in art as a blockhead, a conehead and a spherehead.
If you're a Mac owner whose stubborn refusal to dual-boot Windows has kept you from playing one of 2012's best games good news: XCOM: Enemy Unknown is coming to you. Port publisher Feral Interactive today announced it's bringing Firaxis's turn-based tactics 'em up to Mac this spring with all DLC included.
Take-Two has obtained the rights to the WWE license for the next five years, and will start making use of it this fall with WWE 2K14.
With the power to open rifts into other realities and even the 1980s, BioShock Infinite co-star Elizabeth is clearly very special and important. Why, just think of the fortunes you could make by popping back to stock up on ironic vintage t-shirts before they were ironic or vintage! A new trailer's dedicated to the so-called Lamb of Columbia, who you're sent to rescue and the floating city's determined to keep locked away.
Borderlands 2 fans want an increase in the game's level cap. But, it's not as easy as turning on a switch, Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford explained.
Dear publishers, if you are insistent upon releasing trailers that show anything other than gameplay footage (and I imagine you are, what with them helping sell games but shh I am feigning indignation), please take some hint from BioShock Infinite's fine series 'Columbia, a Modern Day Icarus?'. No pre-rendered cinematics, dragging shots of developers talking, or staged in-engine nonsense, just just delightful flavour. Part two's out now, by the way.
As the corpse of THQ is split up and sold off following financial failure and "massive mistakes", we now know where another severed limb will be transplanted. After rumours of an acquisition last month, 2K has confirmed it'll be publishing the WWE series made by Japanese developer Yuke's.
Did an entire floating city cruise around the skies over America in the 20th century? It hardly seems likely, as it's patently absurd and the plot of BioShock Infinite and all, but publisher 2K Games has put out a new video today exploring just that subject, resembling a documentary from the 1980s. It's perhaps not definitive proof, but when has television ever lied to us?
XCOM: Enemy Unknown for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is #3 in our Best of 2012.
