Borderlands 2 Skill Tree Builder Is Live!


Posted on September 7, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 is my most anticipated title of 2012. While the days are going by (11 to go from today) Gearbox keeps feeding us more and more new information. Today they launched the skill tree builder for everyone to check out. It gives you a preview as to what you want to do with your character – plan ahead so to speak. Unfortunately, the Mechromancer’s skill tree isn’t available – only the four launch characters.

Here are the direct links to each characters page, though I’m not sure if you can go directly to them because of the age gate.

Maya, The Siren’s Skill Tree

Salvador, The Gunzerker’s Skill Tree

Axton, The Commando’s Skill Tree

Zer0, The Assassin’s Skill Tree

If those don’t work, you can access this through the Borderlands 2 website, then click on Characters then when you get to that page, click on the character you want to view the skill tree for. Lastly, once you get to the prefered character page you click on View Skill Tree.

Borderlands 2 will release September 18th – which is not soon enough!

Thunder Wolves Flies In With A Trailer


Posted on September 7, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Ubisoft and Most Wanted Entertainment have announced a new helicopter game called Thunder Wolves. It almost makes me reminisce about games I played way back when such as Nuclear Strike and Soviet Strike. What would it take to get those on XBLA? Anyways, Thunder Wolves will feature over 30 weapon/chopper combos and feature co-op play – one will fly the chopper and the other will shoot. Not sure how that will play out, but we’ll see (I’d prefer both players have their own chopper…but I’m not making it am I?)

Thunder Wolves plans to launch the first quarter of next year on XBLA, PSN, and PC.

Planetside 2’s Alpha Squad Package Could Be A Bundle Of Joy


Posted on September 7, 2012 by Seung Lee

If you can’t wait to get your hands on the upcoming open-world MMOFPS from Sony Online Entertainment, Planetside 2, then the new Alpha Squad promotional package is absolutely for you. What is in this package, you may ask? Well, it gives you instant beta access, in-game exclusives such as XP boosts and guns, and a founder’s title.

The Alpha Squad will cost $39.99, but it’s well worth it if you want the upper hand in Planetside 2. Keep in mind that there’s going to be a lot of people playing the game, and some of them might be in the mood to kill. Planetside 2 is a PC game that’s still currently in a beta stage, and no official release date has been released yet. Check out the game’s official website here.

Remember Me In This 10 Minute Gameplay Video


Posted on September 7, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Remember Me is a new IP that Capcom announced at GamesCon 2012 earlier this year. This trailer shows off some footage directly from the presentation that was at GamesCon.

Remember Me looks like it will be a pretty decent title, just get some of that dialogue fixed up a bit and this game will be worth remembering.

Remember Me is set to launch May 2013.
