One of our readers alerted us to these fan-made ‘Borderlands 2’ belt buckles representing the various in-game weapons manufactures, as made by a friend of theirs. The quality is fantastic, and the creator hopes to possibly obtain licensing permission from Gearbox to make them an official product.

Rogue Warrior The Video Game

Sunday, June 9th, 2013

Yeah, it’s far from recent, but the laughably bad Rogue Warrior game is always worth bringing up, if only for Mickey Rourke’s curse-filled performance of Dick Marcinko.

DoorKickers

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

DoorKickers is a top-down real time tactics game where you control a SWAT team clearing buildings and rescuing hostages using realistic weaponry and equipment. Gameplay can be paused to help the player to plan a strategy, although the player is graded on a number of factors per scenario, time of completion being one of those factors. The devs at KillHouse Games sent me the open early alpha build, and so far it shows a lot of promise.

A-TACS In Black Ops II

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

Digital Concealment Systems, creator of the A-TACS family of camouflage patterns have signed a deal with Activision that includes the use of said camo patterns, currently A-TACS AU and A-TACS FG, in the just-released-today Call of Duty: Black Ops II. A-TACS is present in Black Ops II in the form of “…a playable option and integrated throughout different levels of the epic game.” This is most apparent in its use as an in-game gun camouflage.

CODENAME: DELTA SiX FPS Controlller on Kickstarter

Friday, October 26th, 2012

The DELTA SiX is an attempt to make the perfect FPS game controller. Designed to closely mimic an actual firearm, it features an accelerometer and kickback to simulate aiming movement and firing while a removable magazine simulates actual reloading. An ergonomic design places the face buttons along the grip for easy access, and a chin activation placed on top of the controller, behind the optional scope attachment, activates the in-game ADS (aim down sight). Other optional attachments include a grenade launcher and suppressor. The controller will be compatible with Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and Wii U, with plans to produce models for any next gen game consoles.

Two things:

2) Why is Gordon Freeman talking?

Black Ops 2 – Zombies Reveal Trailer

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012

The reveal trailer for zombies mode in the upcoming CoD: Black Ops 2 just came out today. Personally, I would have waited to release this until Halloween rolled around, but then again I’m also not a member of the marketing team for a billion dollar game franchise.
