Posted on August 18, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Tons of news is pouring in from gamescom, and one of those news items holds some screenshots from Borderlands 2. This is torture to me. Seriously. Hurry up, PAX!

Let’s see, what have we got today? Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games today is Sony’s Ultimate Combo Pack: Little Big Planet Game of the Year Edition. For $39.99, you get the LBP game of the year edition as well as a DualShock controller. That’s a good price, even just for the controller alone!

CoD Black Ops Rezurrection trailer investigates the undead in space

Posted on August 18, 2011 by John Scalzo

The Call of Duty Zombie Lab has been perfecting ways to kill zombies since 1943 and now the red undead menace has appeared on the moon. So naturally, that requires new (and creative) ways to kill the flesh eaters.

Thankfully, we get a hilarious look at those creative killing implements in the awesome live action intro to “Zombie Authority,” the first Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection trailer. It’s too bad they don’t know how to spell “Resurrection” though.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection pack will be available to download from Xbox Live on August 23 with PC and PS3 downloads coming next month.

BioWare begins Round 2 of voting for Mass Effect 3’s official “FemShep”

Posted on August 18, 2011 by John Scalzo

BioWare asked the people and the people have spoken. With all the votes tallied, the public vastly preferred “Shepard 5” (the one that looks like Samus Aran) as the model for the official female Shepard in Mass Effect 3. But an equally large group has also spoken and declared Shepard 5’s blonde hair the mark of a bimbo, so BioWare has opened up a second round of voting to decide the official female Shepard’s official hair color.

As of right now, redhead Shepard is winning with more than 13,000 Likes on BioWare’s Facebook page. Brunette Shepard is in a distant second and a pair of blonde Shepards (one bleached and one dirty) are bringing up the rear.

I guess blondes don’t have more fun.

Twisted Metal demo, Uncharted 3 3D trailer included on Priest Blu-ray

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Ryan Littlefield

Recently, a Resistance 3 demo was featured on the Blu-ray version of Battle: Los Angeles. Now, a 3D trailer for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will appear on the Unrated 3D Blu-ray version of Priest while the 2D Blu-ray disc will include a demo for Twisted Metal.

Priest is a a movie based off of a series of Korean graphic novels involving vampires, so we’re not sure what that has to do with treasure hunting or car battling. But movie aside, fans will be able to witness Nathan Drake in all his 3D glory for the first time, and Twisted Metal’s demo will let players in on a bit of action behind the wheel – though the demo won’t show any of the new changes that forced the game’s release date delay.
