Back at Gamescom in 2009, Gearbox Software was demonstrating its then-upcoming Borderlands game to small audiences, begging people to give this new, original game a chance amid a sea of sequels. Fast forward to today and that game has been one of the developer's biggest successes -- a fact about which the team seems humbled and genuinely grateful. As such, they are adamant that Borderlands will not end up offering a series of what they call "one year turnaround content dump sequels" -- the new game is what they call a "true sequel." …mehr

$20 is pretty expensive for a PSN game, but Sony Online Entertainment and developer Overkill believe that they've created a game that's worth the money.

I got the chance to have a play with Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 today. Despite the fact that the full character roster was almost as soon as Capcom announced the new edition, the publisher is sticking stubbornly to its PR and marketing plan by revealing the characters a few at a time -- even going so far as to keep a number of spaces on the character select screen emblazoned with an "UNKNOWN" sign. …mehr

How's that for a heady Thursday: HP --the world's largest PC manufacturer-- announces that they aren't really into the whole "building PCs" thing anymore, thanks to double-digit profit margins and many other facets of their corporate portfolio. It's a sensible (albeit dramatic) decision, but one without a conclusion: options are being mulled, while foundries continue to crank out desktops and laptops that could very well need a new logo within the next year or two. This leaves lots of questions on the table. …mehr

Well of course you do. You're an IT professional, after all. You know that hard disks require at least a low-level-format, or better yet, an electric drill boring holes through the platters.

If you've been watching the stock market this month, you know that, economically speaking, things are going the wrong way. We seemed to be in a period of economic recovery, but now, whatever recovery we might have been having seems to have fallen right through, like piping-hot coffee melting the bottom of a cheap cup. Whether or not you consider stock market activity as a representation of the overall economy, I can tell you that my company seems to be falling on hard times as well. …mehr

Firefall, for the uninitiated, is an upcoming massively multiplayer shooter from Red 5 Studios, who count World of Warcraft team lead Mark Kern and lead designer of Tribes Scott Youngblood among their number, with Orson Scott Card consulting on the game's surprisingly deep sci-fi story.

Barely two months after the launched, and we're already writing its obituary. Even RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook tablet has survived for longer than that. I was among the reviewers who took HP to task on the TouchPad--but even so, I'm saddened by the news that the tablet world has one fewer competitor. After using the TouchPad over the past few weeks, I can say that I liked certain aspects of the TouchPad and WebOS, and that I was looking forward to seeing these features in second-generation hardware. I can only hope that other tablet makers take a hard look at their mobile operating systems and tablets, and that they find ways to prevent these five hardware and software capabilities from dying with the . …mehr

The PC version of Eric Chahi's exotic sandbox game is finally available for purchase after a three week delay, and if you're into solving puzzles and shepherding worshippers from village to village with the terraforming prowess of an all-powerful deity it's definitely worth a look. Unfortunately, despite being largely a single-player affair the game automatically connects to the Ubisoft servers to authenticate itself every time you boot it up. Once the servers have verified that you're not playing a pirated copy you're free to disconnect and play offline, but if you don't have access to the Internet you can't play From Dust. Period. …mehr

HP believes that tablets have a promising future, but company officials said Thursday the reaction to their first tablet, the TouchPad, was so negative that it didn't make sense for the company to continue in that market.
