The Best 3 Minutes of Your Life - Borderlands 2 Trailer Reveals Release Date, Characters, Wub Wub

NEWS 12 Hours Ago - 8:30 AM on 2/22/2012 by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

Sometimes I love being wrong about things.  I thought for sure the delay of Aliens: Colonial Marines into the fall season would push Borderlands 2 from the same release window.  After all - two Gearbox titles in a short span of time seemed a bit too good to be true.  

But I was wrong.  Oh so wrong.

Today Gearbox and 2K Games have put out the most epic trailer I have seen in a long long time.  In it we get our full list of characters, a look at some of the new locales in the game, more Claptrap, and of course a bazillion +1 guns.  The trailer has story, it has music, it has explosions, it has dub step.  

Mind = Blown.

3DS Circle Pad Pro Impressions

NEWS 21 Hours Ago - 12:09 AM on 2/22/2012 by Mike "pheriannath" Katsufrakis

As with almost all portable hardware releases these days, everybody wants to create laundry lists with their faults. At the top of most people’s list of 3DS grievances is the lack of a second analog stick/slider/whatever. This was also a problem for the PSP, but at least Sony could claim that they were treading new ground.

Co-Op Spotlight: Syndicate

NEWS 9:00 AM on 2/21/2012 by Andrew "Cubninja" Gaskill

"What's a Co-Op Spotlight," you ask?  It's our way of bringing extra attention to major co-op releases on launch day, providing you with highlights from past articles, information on co-op features, and plans for our future coverage.

I'm sure you understand that it can be difficult to review a game's co-op features before it has been widely released.  Even when we are granted early access to review copies it can be impractical, and at times impossible, to review a game's co-op features.  Co-Optimus's Co-Op Spotlight will not only keep you up to date on launch day co-op features, it will also let you know when we plan on publishing our Co-Op Review.

Fight Dinosaurs Together in Orion: Dino Beatdown

NEWS 1:53 AM on 2/21/2012 by Paul "EastX" Acevedo

Humans versus dinosaurs co-op games are almost as rare as real, live dinosaurs. There's Capcom's arcade classic Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and the most recent, slightly disappointing Turok, and that's it. That will change next month when indie developer Spiral Game Studios releases Orion: Dino Beatdown for PC. Up to 5 human players will be able to take on hoardes of terrible lizards in this fast-paced first-person shooter. Did I mention our side gets jetpacks and vehicles too?
