Borderlands 2 had plenty going for it; top notch 4 player co-op, loads of guns and Claptrap. One additional entertaining element was being harangued by Handsome Jack, the archenemy of our loyal Vault Hunters. The new Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel trailer teases the fall of the once great Jack and the rise of the infamous Handsome Jack.
Summer is a mere month away, meaning another Xbox Live's Summer of Arcade is sneaking up on us. Of course, we don't know which pick up and play games will be included in the promotion, though an Xbox 360 only release with the release date of "Summer 2014" might give you a hint. Speaking of which: AirMech Arena is dropping this summer for Xbox Live.
Hear that, Bro? Those explosions are the themesong of Democracy charging forward to punch the Commie blood straight out of the bad guys. We've got an all new update for BROFORCE comin' in hot from HQ. The May update throws two Bros onto the scene with brandspankin' new powers. You could listen to me gab about how handy these boys would be in a foxhole, or you could just watch the trailer.
Looks like Hyrule Warriors won't be the only Dynasty Warrior-esque game to grace us this year.

What is the only thing PS4 users are more into than robot-suited warriors slicing aliens into teensy bits? Well, Netflix, obviously, because every living being on the planet owns a Netflix account.
EA is working hard to bring users to its Origin service on PC. There was a lot of negativity around the Steam competitor when it launched several years ago, but EA is making slow and steady strides with both the service and the client.
As Co-Optimus' hands on session will attest, Evolve is looking like one of the most exciting co-op prospects this year. The game has 4 player co-op that allows players to choose different classes, but also choose different unique characters within these classes. Meet four of these hunters in the new Development Diary from Turtle Rock.
Warner Brothers recently announced that their latest LEGO game will be coming out this Autumn. We are happy to hear that LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will also take a slightly different approach in its environments rather than a standard cityscape.
I’ve met some of my best friends online. It wasn’t through an AOL chatroom, or a BBS message board. Even my Power Rangers Facebook group fell out of touch with each other and most of my sports teams just come together for our one game a week. One thing has remained consistent and solidified friendships in my life and that is co-op gaming.
