Sega's mystery photo reveals quite a bit.
Ron Gilbert, the man behind Monkey Island, has been working on something for Double Fine for a bit now. The game is said to be the studio’s next release, but we’ve gotten little information on it beside a few character portraits. Today Sega dropped a hint that may lead to much more info coming sooner than later.
More info on the highly anticipated sequel.
Gearbox seems really excited about Borderlands 2 and wants you to be as well. In a recent post on the PlayStation Blog, producer Matt Charles showed off the special editions of Borderlands 2 and answered fan questions, revealing some of the features, changes, and improvements the new game will have.
My love for you is like a truck, Gunzerker!
With Borderlands being the critical and commercial success that it was, I didn’t think we’d see much deviation in Borderlands 2. However, after getting a chance to play the game for myself I can safely say that Borderlands 2 looks to add a lot more than new equipment – though they’re sure to add a staggering amount of that as well. Focused on character design and strategy, Borderlands 2 offers a stronger dynamic between weapon and class choices. You can still expect the same hectic, loot-filled gameplay that the series has become known for, but the experience is refined this time around. As Jeramy Cooke Gearbox’s Art Director told me, “This is definitely Borderlands 2.0, not 1.5.”
The latest game with a Kickstarter campaign is Larry Laffer himself!
About six months ago, Replay Games announced an HD remake of the first Leisure Suit Larry game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, along with plans to remake the sequels at a later time. Since then, not much has been heard about the remake, until today. Larry Laffer's comeback will now be backed with a Kickstarter campaign.
What does fan based funding really mean for the industry?
I’d bet dollars to donuts that only a miniscule number of our readers had heard of Kickstarter a couple of months ago. And those that had heard of the crowdsourcing fundraising site could not have possibly known that it would become an important part of an evolving video game industry; that it would throw a wrench into the workings of how things have “always been done” and give the community – the fans – a voice that is not only heard, but heeded as well.
Fans successfully fund the cult classic's sequel.
UPDATE: In just two short days, the project has been officially backed, easily surpassing the $900,000 goal initially set by inXile. Currently the team is sitting at $980k, just short of a cool million; with 32 more days to go it's likely the project will accumulate much more. The story from 3/13/2012 can be found below.
All PC versions of the game will include Valve's interface.
2K Games and Gearbox Software have announced a collaboration with Valve to include Steamworks, Valve's framework for games, on all PC versions of Borderlands 2. Steamworks features include Steam Achievements, downloadable content, auto-updating, multiplayer matchmaking, Steam Cloud support and more.
Pre-order bonuses and more revealed.
2K Games and Gearbox Software have announced a release date for the highly anticipated sequel to 2009's Borderlands.

Called Skylanders Giants, it'll be released later this year.
Activision seems to like to make money. So it comes as no surprise that the publisher has announced a sequel to Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Entitled Skylanders Giants, the game will be released later this year. As the name suggest, the sequel will have giant versions of the Skylanders characters.
With the success of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure, Activision announces Skylanders Giants as a Fall 2012 title.
