Mick Would Be Proud of Borderlands
By Paul Munn | October 9, 2009
Gearbox has bucked the trend of holiday delays by going gold with Borderlands today. When I heard Joe call it something of a Diablo-ish shooter on Aeropodcast #102 I was intrigued. The three gameplay videos I found over on Co-Optimus shows off its semi-cel-shaded style with some post-apocalyptic-looking action, but there’s something in the last of them, shown here, that intrigued me.
I found the gameplay pretty easy to follow and the weapon variety surprising. When your hero starts getting badly hurt, notice how they treat death. She’s knocked down and an arcade-like message flashes for her to “Fight For Your Life!” Apparently, by doing enough damage as she’s down, perhaps on her knees, on the verge of death, she’s given a second chance. I could just hear Mick barking at Rocky on the mat: “Get Up Rocky Gaddamn You!”
Aeropodcast #102: We’re Late and British This Time
By Joe Haygood | October 7, 2009A big apology for this podcast getting to press so late. Real life has been getting in the way of things for the last week and a half, but things are getting better. And believe me, beyond a technical issue for this podcast, it is well worth the wait. Why is that you say? Well, we had our writer from the UK, Vikki, making an appearance on the show. So for once, we have a really good English accent on the show, although a really bad accent shows up as well at one point.
Features in this podcast include shopping for good, not so cutesy DS and DSi games, and the Xbox 360 and PC Ones to Watch titles, so it was not a fanboy oversight that they were not on the site.
Music is provided by Revolution Void, and mixed as always by Stephen Munn.

Badass space shooter will delete files from your hard drive… on purpose
By Joe Fourhman | September 23, 2009
Meet lose/lose, one of those darling indie games that everyone fawns over. You know, asks challenging questions, upends prior gaming standards, etc. Except this one has bite: every alien you shoot down deletes a file on your hard drive. So you might not want to play it on a Mac or PC that you care about.
Each Space Invader is procedurally generated, corresponding to the files on your machine Shoot down the alien and the game wipes the attached file. And while the aliens will not shoot at you, if any of them touch your ship, then lose/lose deletes itself. Imagine putting this on an important PC and testing yourself to see how far you can get before permanently crippling your box. It’s like Namco’s version of Russian Roulette. Hardcore!
In the final analysis, lose/lose is more art project than game, foisting real world implications on your in-game actions. Creator Zach Gage asks “As technology grows, our understanding of it diminishes, yet, at the same time, it becomes increasingly important in our lives. At what point does our virtual data become as important to us as physical possessions? If we have reached that point already, what real objects do we value less than our data?”
So how long until some idiot in the mainstream press catches wind of this and calls it a virus?

Darkest of Days Review (PC)
By Joe Haygood | September 22, 2009Time travel is one of those gimmick concepts that just seems really hard to mess up when it comes to entertainment. Star Trek has done time travel to death, and yet it always seems entertaining. Hiro Nakamura is rather amusing to watch as he ponders over what is right and wrong when it comes to his time travel powers. Even Jean Claude Van Damme was somewhat entertaining in Timecop. With all of that in mind, I was ready to play through Darkest of Days, mixes in police work with time travel and the visiting of several historical periods in time. Unfortunately, it seems that time travel can be made to be more of a chore than entertainment at times.
Darkest of Days puts you in the shoes of a guy that goes by the name Morris. While fighting during Custer’s Last Stand, you are injured, and about to be killed, when a bubble appears and a man in a tech suit comes out to rescue your character from certain death. It seems that because there is no record of our character actually being at Custer’s Last Stand, we are an enigma, and thereby snatched from time to be used as an enforcer for time travel. Again, think back to Timecop and you get the idea, except that you boss is a mysterious woman, and the company is called KronoTeK.
Choas Rising Coming To Dawn Of War II
By Levi Thornton | September 22, 2009
Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II is being expanded through it’s next stand alone expansion.
In Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising you will take command of the Blood Ravens and defend the sector against the Chaos Space Marines of the Black Legion. Purge the chaos filth and hold the chapter together as traitorous forces work from within to try bring down the Blood Ravens.
* Upgrade your squads with new legendary wargear and unlock new special abilities, as your squads advance to level 30. Will you remain steadfast to the Emperor or risk heresy to gain new dark and destructive powers?
* In multiplayer swear loyalty to the Chaos Gods and pit your bloodthirsty warband of Chaos Space Marines against the new units and reinforced armies of the Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Tyranids.
Relic seems to listen to their community very well. I notice the most demanded feature for the next Dawn Of War II is to play as the Chaos Marines. However, you can only play them at multiplayer which got the community talking about how tired they are playing as the Blood Ravens.
Thursday Is The New Friday With Unreal Tournament III Black On Steam
By Paul Munn | September 17, 2009
Valve’s Steam keeps up its reputation as the all singing, all dancing digital distribution system of the world with today’s kickoff of a free weekend of play for Unreal Tournament III Black. It may be Thursday but to Epic and Valve at 4pm EDT (that would be before your eyeballs see this), your weekend of beautiful slaughter has just started. At least on the PC.
Seen on The Escapist.
(Virtually) Free Football Fun
By Vikki Blake | August 24, 2009
Eidos have announced that fans of the football/soccer management title Championship Manager 2010 will be able to pre-order the 2010 release for … well, for however much you’re willing to pay, actually.
The offer went live on the official CM website last week and permits downloads of the game from as little as 1p (although there’s a £2.50 GBP transaction fee, bringing the true minimum price to £2.51 GBP). This offer is good right up until the game launches on 10 September.
“This is the first time an initiative like this has ever been tried in the video games market,” says Roy Meredith, General Manager of developer Beautiful Game Studio. “This is the best Championship Manager the studio has ever made, and we want as many people as possible to try the full new game, as once they try it, we’re convinced they will come back again and again.”

You’ll also be treated to many delicious images of the beautiful game world.
Head over to the site to have a look. It’s well worth it!
Steam Lays Out Some Great Deals
By Joe Haygood | August 7, 2009
Valve has announced several deals for PC gamers looking for some value in their purchases, starting off with a great deal for Red Faction: Guerrilla. If you pre-order Red Faction: Guerrilla for $39.99, you will get the original Red Faction and Red Faction 2 instantly. This way, you will have something to tide you over until the September release of Red Faction: Guerrilla.
Also, if you have yet to enjoy Alex Mercer and his exploits in Prototype, you can pick that title up anytime from now until August 13th at 20% off. This brings the price of Prototype down to $39.99, which is a pretty good price for this open world title.
The last deal up for the week, is the release of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut marked down 30% to $27.99. This pricing is good until August 12th, and will hopefully get those that have been waiting for a console release of this title to try it out on the PC. The Witcher is a fantastic RPG title that should be experience by all RPG fans. And with the Director’s Edition, all the nudity has been restored. What’s not to like here now?
Let us know if you pick any of these up.
New Campaign Level Coming To Left 4 Dead
By Levi Thornton | August 5, 2009
Valve is giving Left 4 Dead owners another campaign called “Crash Course” linking between the events “No Mercy” and “Deathtoll”. PC users will be able to play this campaign for free and Xbox 360 owners will have to fork up $7. The map will also include a survival mode. The DLC will be available sometime next month.
So there you go Left 4 Dead boycott, there is your free DLC (PC only). I’m interested in their reaction to this whole new campaign. Will it satisfied their cause?
