Although details were scarce regarding the new character class, Gearbox Franchise Director Matt Armstrong explained that it shouldn’t be long before players see him or her. Unfortunately, the character will not be included with the Borderlands 2 Season Pass, but will instead be a separate purchase. Furthermore, the announcement video (featured below courtesy of Joystiq) suggests that the new character will focus more on melee combat than most of the other classes players have seen thus far....

This is particularly the case with the militant system of government which serves as the focal point of the series. The Coalition of Ordered Governments, or “COG,” is a driving force in the narrative and a key element in the turbulent, war-stricken setting of Sera. It’s also the military organization of major Gears figures, including Baird, Dom, and the stocky Sergeant himself, Marcus Fenix.

During a battle with the Lambent Leviathan which involves 8 COG characters separated into two teams completing separate objectives simultaneously (read about it here: Gears of War 3 campaign impressions), a part of the boss battle allows two of the four players on one of the teams to jump into a mech battle suit, called the Silverback. When in the Silverback, the player can tap A to deploy it, switching its weapons to more powerful rockets instead of the standard machine gun fire....

For some viewers, however, the failures of Game of Thrones began much earlier—particularly in the way the show treated the female characters from A Song of Ice and Fire. By compressing the women of ASOIAF into stock fantasy characters, Game of Thrones eliminated much of what was good about the books, replacing character agency and complexity with flat tropes and fundamentally weakening the story as a whole.

To understand how the Game of Thrones writers failed these characters, it’s crucial to understand the characters themselves and what they do go through. All of the protagonists of the HBO series go through a lot. That would change anyone, but the problem is the changes are often not consistent with their previous characterizations. Let’s take Bran as an example again. At the beginning of Game of Thrones, Bran is an adventurous young boy....

Sometimes, however, a character’s inspirations can seem a little obvious. Street Fighter 6’s Manon looks like a ballet judoka in combat, but resembles Lady Gaga outside of it, complete with backing dancers. If the star did inspire the character, she wouldn’t be the first celebrity behind a character’s looks. 7 Bill Rizer & Lance Bean from Contra The gun-toting protagonists from Contra (or Gryzor in the arcades) don’t really look like anyone in-game....

Tomorrow marks not only the very last day of 2010 but the end of our first full year of operation here at Game Rant and what better way to go out than with the beginning of an annual tradition with the Game Rant Video Game Awards! For the first of many to come, we’ve carved out seven key categories to capture some of the most important elements of gaming. Without further ado, here are the nominations:...

It took us a long, long time to narrow down the the finalists for each category to put together Game Rant’s 2010 Video Game Award Nominations, but not long at all to pick the winners for each, which speaks volumes to the games and developers we honor today. So, without further ado, here are the winners of Game Rant’s 2010 Video Game Awards: Best Story - Alan Wake Developer: Remedy Entertainment...

First launching in 1997, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile featured a blend of 2D and 3D elements. Since the first game in the Klonoa series was released, several other titles have been made, and a dedicated fan base has developed. In fact, the series recently received a revival by way of the Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series, which included remasters of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil. One reason fans still love the series is the design of the playable character, Klonoa, and one gamer recently decided to make fan art featuring the titular hero....

Not only are the hardware and software known for their quality, but the console’s selection of games is very robust. This includes a wide variety of hilarious multiplayer and co-op games that can be enjoyed just about anywhere. RELATED: Steam Deck: How to Connect Bluetooth Headphones...

The appeal of sports compilations is obviously the sports that will be featured in the game. The original Wii Sports successfully integrated five popular sports into the Wii’s trademark, and Wii Sports Resort offered a more diverse and arguably more niche selection of games, contributing to its uniqueness. Nintendo Switch Sports should tackle a similar approach by combining the strengths of both the original Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, creating a roster that will appeal to people with a casual knowledge of sports in addition to the savvier people in the audience....

Brandon McInnis is a talent who some may know him for his roles in anime like Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Tokyo Ghoul, and SSSS. Gridman, just to name a few. In regard to his role in Fire Emblem Engage, he voices the male version of Alear, the leading lord. Alear is the main character of the game, so it’s no surprise McInnis was excited about the role in the lead-up to its release....

Song of the Deep is a side-scrolling experience set underwater and based around Irish folklore, which is certainly a change of pace for the studio typically known for games that feature plenty of humor or a unique style as seen in Sunset Overdrive. The game itself is framed like an animated picture book as cutscenes are all hand-drawn and inspired by Japanese woodblock art and maybe even Hayao Miyazaki films like Princess Mononoke or Howl’s Moving Castle....

GameStop has seen its fair share of success and sales ever since the launch of both the Xbox Series X/S and the PS5, but like many other retail outlets, it has suffered from a number of pitfalls that have arisen as a result of the excessively high demand for the next-gen systems. Although, GameStop seems to have a limited number of console bundles available to purchase, though with how fast they’ve been going, there’s a chance that they’ve already sold out....

Despite playing my Triple Captain chip on Leroy Sané I had an ok GW25. I finished on 77 points yet my overall rank dropped slightly to 64K. I stuck by my 2 picks I previewed last week in Sergio Aguero (19 points) and Raheem Sterling (11 points!) and played both of them which formed a huge part of my solid weekly score. Now the big planning for the blanks continues with blanks in GW27, GW31 & GW33 so make sure you’re ready!...

Unfortunately, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy does not do as much justice to Gamora. While her backstory is just as interesting as it is in the comics and movies, her role in the main narrative is a bit lackluster in comparison to the other heroes. As such, if a sequel ever comes for the game, giving Gamora a bit more to do would absolutely be a step in the right direction....

“A team is going ahead of the Test series, so that’s a good preparation. This team has a potential,” said Ganguly. The team will be led by Cheteshwar Pujara and will compete in an ODI tri-series with South Africa ‘A’ and Australia ‘A’ being the other two teams. When asked about Virat Kohli‘s captaincy in the ongoing series against Zimbabwe, Ganguly said: “It was just for the Zimbabwe series. First let him become captain, then we will say....
