Gamescom

Forget about searching YouTube – we’ve got our favourite trailers from Gamescom and some others that got sent to us by our publisher friends who are living it over there.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Not my type of game but it looks like it would be cool for fans of Fable and Lord of the Rings.

Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3 gameplay footage? Yes please.

The Sims 3 Pets
Think Nintendogs but not shit. Create your own pet and for those of you who kept your Kinect you can speak to your pet. Oh wait, you can’t do that in Australia.

Need for Speed The Run
Need for Speed The Run looks action packed. I want to see gameplay footage though.

Battlefield 3
Holy shitballs!

FIFA 12
It’s as close as to being on the pitch according to IGN – I’m pretty sure they use that line every year.

FIFA Street
I would have preferred NBA Street but I suppose now EA have NBA Jame they don’t that anymore.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations
Hopefully Todd has finished Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood by the time this comes out. It’s looking better every time I see it.

Uncharted 3
Speaking of games that look good – this was probably my favourite trailer.

Arkham City – Mr Freeze

The latest villain revealed to be located in Arkham City is Mr Freeze. Don’t read – just watch.

Going back to Pandora

… The REAL Pandora, not the one with seven foot tall, blue cat people and terribly named elements…

Everyone is excited to see more and hear more about Borderlands 2. So here is some newly surfaced information and some screenshots to let you know just what you’ll be pre-ordering. Because you WILL be pre-ordering this one. Right!? Right!

Borderlands 2 takes place five years after the events in Borderlands. Some jerk by the name of Handsome Jack has not only taken over the Hyperion corporation and declared himself dictator of Pandora, Jack has the gall to claim he was responsible for opening the Vault and eliminating The Destroyer. Jack has also blotted out much of the light on the planet by having a giant orbiting H-shaped base set in front of Pandora’s stationary moon. The new team in Borderlands 2 is tasked with killing Jack and returning peace to Pandora.

While the original Vault Hunters are still present, you won’t find them hanging out together. They’ve gone their separate ways to their own part of the planet and still have a bounty on their heads. Finding one of the Vault Hunters is one of your first missions and you’ll learn the backstories of each Hunter throughout the course of the game.

Enemies are not just tougher this time, they’re also smarter and more dangerous. For starters, partner foes will communicate with each other to change their tactic. You’ll also have to deal with elemental Skags who are capable of buffing nearby Skags. Definitely make it a priority to land a headshot or at least quickly land some critical hits when you find this breed of Skag.

Borderlands 2 is to make its world debut at Gamescom in Cologne, and 2K Games will be fielding fan questions during a live broadcast on Friday, August 19.

Borderlands 2 does not have a release date yet.

Let the pre-orders begin.

Oh and here’s a trailer.
