So many of the folks I know (including myself) aren’t planning on picking up a Nintendo Wii U any time soon. So with that in mind, I watched this unboxing video from GiantBomb. It’s 17 minutes long but since it’s GiantBomb, I lapped it up.
In the usual GiantBomb fashion, they disclosed the footage limitations Nintendo requested of them. It’s kinda nuts. 10 minute videos in 30 second chunks?
The Nintendo Wii U launches on November 18th, 2013
Please forgive the lame commentary, it’s the price you’ll have to pay in order to see Gearbox’s upcoming sequel.
Some say it looks like a radical improvement over the first Borderlands. I’m not quite there yet. It looks like a logical progression and nothing mind blowing The co-op flexibility is nice, but again, it looks like a logical step forward.
I was hoping to see more complex bosses and enemy types. I wanted to see more than a horde of bugs that spill green blood.
So far so good, but nothing I’ve seen is convincing me to get this on day one. Dual wielding rocket launchers is the kind of crazy I can get behind though.
Borderlands 2 will debut on September 18th, 2012 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
I’m actually a few days late with this, but that’s alright.
The Max Payne 3 infomercials continue with Rockstar touting their upcoming game’s shooting mechanics.

You’ve got yourself a customer, Rockstar. Seeing footage like this makes the delay a bit more unbearable.
It looks like we could put the beta worries to rest. The retail release Battlefield 3 for PlayStation 3 looks great.

That looks pretty darn good if you ask me. If there’s anything to complain about it’s the minor texture pop-in.
Here’s some slices of footage from the Xbox 360 build of Battlefield 3. It’s also from the single player and a majority of it takes place at night. It’s not exactly what I was hoping for, but at this point, I just want to see it for myself.
That beta can’t come out soon enough.
Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta begins on June 26th for PlayStation Plus subscribers — which could be all of us when Sony gives everyone a free month PlayStation Plus.
In preparation of that, IGN will be trickling out footage and info over the next few days. First up, some multiplayer map walkthroughs and a beta FAQ.
Compared to Uncharted 2, the maps from UC3 appear to be more complex. And needless to say, the game is looking very nice.
The only worry I have thus far is the potential balance problems involving the multiplayer perks. They all seem broken.
Capcom’s Resident Evil franchise is 15 years old this year and it is celebrating it with footage from the old games and new ones.
So Capcom is re-releasing some titles along with two 3DS releases and a PS3/PC/360 release. Here’s the breakdown and release window:
Five Resident Evil titles pending release and you can bet the house that Capcom is going to announce Resident Evil 6 as well.
Too much Resident Evil? Are we being too saturated?
