Nick and Justin had a chance to check out Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel after we had a nice sit down in their moon base. Some changes to the Borderlands formula are in place as setting the game on the moon make for some interesting gameplay mechanics. Oxygen is a limited resource, but don't worry it is used mainly for double jumps. Speaking of which because you're on the moon and gravity isn't the supreme ruler, all characters jump WAY higher.

Traveler's Tales is calling Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham to be the ultimate LEGO superhero game out there and we can begin to see why. While we do get a ton of new suits, gadgets, and vehicles this time around, it's the epic setting in the vacuum of space and the storyline that sets it apart from the rest.
Co-op gaming has definitely grown in the past few years but it's a two-edged sword. Just because a game includes co-op doesn't always mean it has co-op that was part of the design decisions from day one.
