Although the season pass for Borderlands 2 ended with the fantastic Assault on Dragon's Keep, Gearbox isn't done with their smash hit action-RPG just yet. During a panel at PAX Australia, Gearbox announced new plans to keep the world of Pandora fresh through the fall, with new 'Headhunter' mission packs and a huge raise to the level cap.

Namco Bandai have announced that they’re bringing back one of the most popular fighting games of all time. Soulcalibur II was originally released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Gamecube. That was ten years ago, and for its anniversary it’ll be seeing a HD port to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and will be available for purchase in the autumn. It won’t only be improved graphics, however. With any modern fighting game, one of the most important portions of the…

Pretty dead week this week for releases (especially for consoles). You just know it's a slow week when Smurfs 2 is the headline game.

A publisher is looking for freelance writers who are willing to dish the dirt on Apple. They're looking for someone who has, preferably through a child, "lost a fortune" on games purchased from the App Store. The publisher is willing to pay $1000 to anybody willing to tell the story, so long as there's proof to go along with it.

Sony have slightly changed the way they announce the winners of the Greatness Awaits auctions in light of yesterdays cheater debacle.

The Bid For Greatness promo being held by Sony seemed like such a great idea in theory.

Over the past weekend, at the EVO fighting tournament, an announcement was made that is sure to intrigue, excite and worry current Injustice players.

A page on the Square Enix website has people asking whether Final Fantasy XIII’s Lightning might just end up making a cameo appearance in the newly remastered Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD. The Final Fantasy Go There page (which seems like a 30 Rock joke, I know) describes several of the crossovers coming to upcoming Final Fantasy titles. Already mentioned are Lightning Returns and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, both of which have bonus cameo costumes. The final picture shows…

Deadly Premonition is coming to PC. Offering a heady mix of terrible controls and gameplay, silly scripting but deep characterisation, Deadly Premonition is the very definition of a community-splitting game. It'll be the director's cut as well, so there's the new scenario, "enhanced" graphics (which bring it up to PS2 standards) and the reworked control scheme (which still sucks).

Ubisoft have announced that 40 of the levels from Rayman Origins will end up in Legends. Not only that, but they'll each recieve a graphical update so that they look as good as the original levels of Rayman Legends. There were 66 levels in Rayman Origins, and if you take away the bonus and mosquito-focussed levels, that's probably the whole game.
