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.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
