XenoMiner is a voxel based game similar to Minecraft that I’ve been playing recently. I figured I’d continue my voxel news from my last article on the VoxelFarm engine with this article about a game I’ve grown quite fond of.
Naturally it’s easy to get caught up in any voxel adventure. One creative idea leads to either collecting resources, or using an infinite resource mode to place blocks to make something. Unlike the usual biomes or areas you’re used to in voxel games, XenoMiner crashes you on an alien moon with no oxygen in the atmosphere.Read More

Gearbox Software is at it again, offering up some new skins and a SMG for your characters in Borderlands 2. This time it is in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Here is how Gearbox Software describes the holiday in Borderlands terms:
Each year, around this time, the Zaford clan takes a break from their war with the Hodunk bandit family to celebrate their good fortune and honor those that have passed on, such as that time Scooter buried their son alive in a shallow grave.
During this time, those who play Borderlands 2 while connected to the internet will see a temporary increase in the drop rates and rarity of shields! Plus, Absorb shields will have a better chance to absorb enemy bullets and Booster shields will have a higher chance of dropping a shield Booster when damaged.Read More

I’m pretty sure this goes without saying, but it’s better to report and save an individual from this scam than to let it slip by. So, I’m sure most of you probably have a Facebook account. Most of you gamers have probably seen where they are offering “Beta Testing” on the Next Xbox. Well, Microsoft, via Major Nelson, has confirmed that it is indeed a scam.
So make sure that you do NOT give out any information to these people. I’m sure that Microsoft already has plenty of people that have been Beta testing the new console for months, so please people…don’t give out your information. With that being said, we are eagerly awaiting any news regarding Microsoft’s next home console. It’s expected that news will be coming to the surface here within the next few weeks, so stay tuned!
