Amazon has an interesting deal for you today. It looks like Electronic Arts has teamed up with Dove Men+Care… yes, the soap guys… and is offering $20 off any one EA game when you buy $15 or more of Dove Men+Care products. There’s no expiration date on this offer, but as always, if you’re interested, jump on it sooner rather than later.

The games being discounted are SimCity, Dead Space 3, and Need For Speed: Most Wanted (however, the offer doesn’t apply to the Vita version of Most Wanted or the recently released Wii U port, Need For Speed: Most Wanted U).

Nothing says hygiene like staring at your computer for ten days straight as you play SimCity, right?

One more bit of news from the Gearbox panel, a second Borderlands 2 “Loot Chest” will be available in May. Like the first one, this special edition will be super-limited. How limited? There’s only going to be 5,000 of them and you’ll be able to get it exclusively at Think Geek for $99.99.

It’ll include a variety of neat Borderlands-themed stuff (see below) and it’ll be available in May. Sadly, it doesn’t come with the game. But you already own it, right?

  • Loot Chest Certificate of Authenticity
  • Vault Hunters Wanted Poster
  • Goliath Replica Mask (Plus SHiFT Code to Unlock In-Game)

Krieg the Psycho is new Borderlands 2 character; Ultimate Vault Hunter’s Pack in April

Posted on March 24, 2013 by John Scalzo

borderlands2-header

The Gearbox panel is currently underway at PAX East 2013 and the beleaguered developer has announced that the newest Borderlands 2 vault hunter will be known as Krieg the Psycho. Krieg, which is German for “war,” is a crazed berserker that is focused on melee combat. Krieg will be available in May for $10 (or 800 Microsoft Points for you Xbox 360 owners).

But sooner than that will be a new DLC content drop known as “The Ultimate Vault Hunter’s Pack.” Set for release on April 2, the pack will include a new gear tier, Pearlescent, an increase to the level cap (you can go to 61 now), and a third playthrough mode, the titular “Ultimate Vault Hunter’s” mode. The pack has been priced at $5 (or 400 points worth of Microsoft funny money). But if you’re a Season Pass holder, you’ll get it for free.

Saints Row IV “Director’s Cut” DLC will include all “Dominatrix” content

Posted on March 23, 2013 by John Scalzo

saintsrow4-header

Saints Row IV is looking pretty insane, but apparently it could be crazier. When Volition rolled the “Enter the Dominatrix” DLC into number four, they left out some stuff that was “too crazy.”

During a Q&A session at PAX East, Volition Senior Producer Jim Boone said the developers plan to release a director’s cut of “Enter the Dominatrix” as DLC for Saints Row IV. Creative Director Steve Jaros added, “There’s a lot of work that goes into making something appropriately silly.”

Remember, that’s “too crazy” for a game that includes superpowers and mechs and other things.

Diablo III is “not necessarily a Sony exclusive”

Posted on March 23, 2013 by John Scalzo

diabloiiiconsoleDiablo III‘s console coming out party during Sony’s PlayStation 4 reveal only confirmed the former PC exclusive’s extension to Sony systems (namely the PS3 and PS4). It seems obvious in retrospect, but that’s “not necessarily” the final word on the subject.

Speaking to the Penny Arcade Report, Joshua Mosqueira, the game’s Lead Designer, said, “We don’t have any announcements to make at this time. But we’re not necessarily a Sony exclusive.”

That sounds like confirmation of an Xbox 360 and/or Wii U version to me.

Note: The Diablo III Xbox 360 boxart to your right is a fan-made fake.
