Read our full Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel review.

There’s a new 10-minute look at 2K Australia’s Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel that sums up pretty much everything we’ve told you about the game since its April 2014 debut. And while we certainly won’t stop you from going back and reading all of our wonderful coverage to date (see here, here, here, here, and here), we won’t blame you for hitting play on this new look. Especially since the whole thing is narrated by Sir Hammerlock and Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel falls between the events of Borderlands and Borderlands 2, following a new group of four playable characters — one of whom is the series’ comic relief R2-D2 wannabe, Claptrap — in a story that charts the rise of Handsome Jack, the villain of the series’ second game. This video takes a look at Pandora’s moon of Elpis (the setting for The Pre-Sequel) and the creatures that dwell there, guns and gun-friendly features, and the foursome at the heart of the game. Want to see Claptrap in action? There’s a lot of that here.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel comes to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on October 14, 2014.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.

Two friends have used Claude to help bring the open-source PS2 emulator PCSX2 to a browser. Their project, TabStationToo, has been tested with games including GTA San Andreas and Final Fantasy XII.

The developers say Claude did most of the programming while they directed the work and tested the results. It’s still experimental, but games run locally without installing a desktop emulator.
