How Not To Launch A Game

Posted on 26. Jan, 2010 by Heretic in MAG, Other games

Release an online only title and have the servers go down on the first day. Our sister site MAG Game Guide has the story. (By the way, I'm still optimistic about this game's potential. But I'm not going to cut them any slack for fumbling the launch like this.)

Announcing MAG Game Guide

Posted on 02. Jan, 2010 by Heretic Tag: Other Games, MAG, Other games, PS3

A new year. New resolutions we'll probably forget by February. And Borderlands Guide has a new brother.

He looks a bit like BG. But don't worry, the internet will be big enough for both of them.

Borderlands’ Zombie Stand-in

Posted on 26. Oct, 2008 by Heretic in Left 4 Dead, Other games

Everybody keeps trying to lump Borderlands in with other games. So far there have been comparisons to Fallout 3, Killzone 2, and Rage. One analogy I haven't seen is to the game that seems to have the most in common with Borderlands: zombie shooter Left 4 Dead.
