Back in 1955, Jackie Gleason made a promise to the world: "One of these days", he said, "BANG, ZOOM! Straight to the moon!" Nearly 60 years later, we're shot out of a cargo cannon from a giant space station to a fictional moon orbiting a fictional planet in a video game. We also get to fire lasers at space squid, freeze armo...
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is out this week and the final developer diary has gone up taking you behind the scenes at 2K Australia to lookat how the game was made. The final episode of the four part series looks at the Weapons and DLC possibilities.
So you're excited about the relatively recently announced 4-player co-op mode of upcoming Dragon Age: Inquisition. You're more than ready to burn some demons and stab some trolls, but a question has been haunting you: will your PC be able to run the game? Well, wonder no more. All has been revealed.
Another game will be enjoyed by the staff this weekend, but not one yet for public consumption. We'll be churning through Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel in an effort to have a review for you by launch day. So be on the lookout for that. What else are we playing? Well there's still Destiny too.
Another free to play game has launched, and this one seems to be a mess. Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies is a take on the classic Counter-Strike game, adding zombies to the mix across 50 maps of play and dozens of modes. Unfortunately my first impressions with the game were poor - a confusing interface, an engine based on Half-Life 1, and poor performance all yielded a sub par result in game play.

Pretty much whatever you need to put down paramilitary thugs, Longinus has them.

I got to see a brief demo of Killing Floor 2 at NYCC. The sequel to the six player co-op game from 2009, Killing Floor, Killing Floor 2 is raising the bar of its predecessor and making it even more about gore and cooperative play.
Almost every year I trek out to New York Comic Con to see what's going on in a world of entertainment I ashamedly don't follow close enough. I absolutely adore the art and style that oozes out of every corner of the show floor. There's a lot to take in at the show and we've got the pictures to prove it.
Geometry Wars is still one of my favorite games of all time, so I'm glad to see the third game has a release date set. Activision have announced that Geometry Wars 3 will be hitting all platforms next month complete with 50 levels of gameplay and several multiplayer modes including co-op.
Skylanders Trap Team is out in the wild and youngsters (and some oldsters) will be putting countless hours/dollars into the game already. Some of the kids in the new trailer have perhaps played too much already as the game starts to talk to them Candid Camera style.
