The opening cinematic of the game introduces players to a little bit of plot background and the four new Vault Hunter [...]

By: Tim Odom I went into E3 this year with high hopes. With Nintendo on the verge of releasing a new console, that must mean Sony and Microsoft would do something, right? We would see new games, and new hardware, and have a whole bunch of surprises! It was going to be awesome! Then E3 happened. And it, most assuredly, [...]

I was on The Google the other day and ran across an article entitled “How to snag a gamer girlfriend.” Go look at the story. It’s an older story, but it’s not hard to find its sentiment all over the interwebz and in the thoughts of guys worldwide: The elusive girlfriend who’s just as obsessed with video games as they [...]
