These are the most popular Borderlands characters

As decided by the fans Per the officialBorderlandsTwitter account, Krieg, Claptrap, and Tiny Tina are the series’ most popular characters amongstBorderlandsfans. There’s no clear indication which character received the most votes, but I wager Claptrap is a pretty safe bet. In many ways, this is the biggest story of 2015 for me. The story inBorderlandshas never been my thing — too irreverent for my taste — but a lot of people really enjoy the lore and this is a fairly concise insight into what exactly people find so resonant about this franchise....

THQ Nordic: Optimizing Darksiders Warmastered Edition for Wii U is a ‘tough task’

Still not out When November 22 rolled around, I was pretty confused.Darksiders Warmastered Editiondropped on both PS4 and Xbox One, but the Wii U version was nowhere in sight. A week later the PC version was available on Steam as a free upgrade, and still, no Wii U port. Now it’s early December and I still haven’t seen it appear on the Nintendo Download list.

A brief history of videogame-themed cereals

Last week, Mr. Concelmo started a conversation in the editors’ email inboxes about cereal that ended in apostto the front page of Destructoid about Nintendo Cereal System.

At the risk of sounding extremely dorky, cereal is something that I have had an odd fascination with throughout my life....

Analogue: A Hate Story coming to iOS, Japan

*Mute and *Hyun-ae await! Visual novels are cool games, but if there’s a pet peeve I’ve developed with the genre lately, it’s that most of them are PC-based. Visual Novels, dating sims, and the like are the perfect type of game to play on mobile and tablet platforms, but few good ones have made their way over.
