Borderlands 2 (non-playable) Character Bio: Handsome Jack
High above the action, hanging out in his space station, overseeing and attacking the heroes. Not a playable character but Jack is the antagonist in the Borderlands 2 story. And through Jack the player gets to experience some awesome dialogue. The overly narcissistic, humorously sarcastic wit was a highlight of the preview game play we …

Borderlands 2 Character Bio: Maya – The Siren
Early information and footage of Maya in action give the impression that her skills of elemental damage and crowd control are almost god-like. In fact, this is not far from the truth. This Athenas born Siren has come to Pandora to learn more about her heritage. I’m not sure what that entails but I’ll bet …

Not just an ordinary soldier, he is a commando, so you can expect Axton to be good with assault rifles. His primary action skill is the new and improved Scorpio turret 2.0, a deploy-able turret …

New Super Mario Bros. 2 – Review – Part 2
EDIT: I just noticed ZombieNinjaBot actually published the “review” I emailed him after playing approximately 2 levels. I typically don’t write in all caps but this was a special occasion. Fangirl squee! So far I am loving NSMB2. This is because I am a complete sucker for nostalgia and Nintendo. They keep finding little ways …

Borderlands 2; A Confession and a Countdown
With only one month until Borderlands 2 launches, I have a confession to make. I don’t play FPSs. The shock! The horror! She’s not a gamer after all! Seriously, I feel like I’m missing out on the one genre that unites everyone. I know plenty about the big online FPS brands, but I never had …
