In less than 2 months after its release in October 2009, Borderlands sold over 2 million copies. Why? Because it was the perfect blend of what gamers wanted. An open world to explore littered with creative enemies, countless guns to use, interesting characters, and humor throughout it all. We didn’t know what to expect when Borderlands 2 was revealed. How do you improve on a game that was so close to the peak of perfection? Borderlands 2 answers that question in the games first few minutes.

Awesome video explains how every video game is somehow connected

This is something every gamer has to check out. Ever wonder if Samus could throw down with characters from the Dark Stalkers series? What about Mario fighting the Zurg from Starcraft? While these scenarios seem completely ridiculous and out of place, Youtube user Matthew Patrick finds a way to make it all make sense. Don’t believe me? See for yourself:

I have been waiting to write this blog for a while now and I am incredibly excited to finally tell the world about this adventure. This summer, I made it to the final round of a video game competition to win a car. To give a bit of background, I need to explain how it all got started. Around mid-March, I fell in love with a book written by Ernest Cline entitled Ready Player One.

The Wii U Debuts…at the Microsoft Conference?
Posted: June 4, 2012 by Jon Erik Christianson in Gamenomics - Video Games, Microsoft/Xbox, NintendoTags: Microsoft, Nintendo, SmartGlass, Video Games, Wii U
As a Nintendo fan, I was quite shocked to see the Wii U shown off at today’s E3 Microsoft press conference. Oh wait, the tablet you connect to your console to alter your gaming experience wasn’t the Wii U? It was Microsoft’s Xbox SmartGlass? Oh, well, excuse me.
Before I launch into what might be a full-scale rant, I do want to clarify my background. I am, ultimately, a Nintendo fan. I’ve been very disgruntled with their treatment of their fans over the past few years, but that doesn’t change the fact that my hood is somewhere between Pallet Town and Yoshi’s Island.
I have some background in non-Nintendo gaming, including with the Xbox 360. And truth be told, I don’t inherently dislike other publishers because I’m a Nintendo fan. In fact, over the past few years I’ve become really jealous over the gaming experiences Microsoft and Sony have given their fans.
That being said, I was kinda perturbed when I realized how similar SmartGlass was to the Wii U, especially considering they will likely be released around the same time. Follow me after the break.
So Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference was good…if you like sequels

Is Kingdom Hearts one of your all-time favorite games? I know that it is absolutely one of my favorites. Addicting game play, an awesome story, and having the ability to fight alongside your childhood movie characters are all combined into this epic game. With the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance soon to release (July 31st, 2012), Kingdom Hearts has been quite the buzz. However, with so many side stories, the series has probably left many of you lost and not knowing what the heck is going on. I am going to give the breakdown of each game and where it fits in the story.
So It Begins!
