Video game limited editions never cease to entertain the masses who don’t buy them. Irrational Games and 2K Games have taken yet another step down wacky lane by announcing the BioShock Infinite Ultimate Songbird Edition, and it just rolls right off the tongue. For $149.99, an additional $90 on top to the suggested retail price, you get exactly what the name suggests, a 9.5″ statue of...
I’m super excited for XCOM Enemy Unknown, and I think most fans from the classic 1990s strategy series are as well. Many of these fans also dismissed an early build of 2K Marin’s first-person shooter XCOM game announced back at E3 2010. Despite looking like a solid FPS with a 1960s retro feel, many were peeved about the classic strategy game being revived as a FPS, very similar to the...
I’ve got a lot more respect for Spec Ops: The Line‘s creative lead, Cory Davis. He’s not afraid to speak his mind about multiplayer. His wonderful war game Spec Ops: The Line was meant to solely be a single player experience, and the team had dreams of redefining the emotion gamers feel when dropping into a virtual battlefield. By and large, they succeeded greatly. Spec Ops: The Line...
Much like EA did with Syndicate earlier this year, 2K thought reviving the classic strategy series XCOM as a third-person shooter would be the best route for the series to take. Many long time fans cried "FOUL!" after the reveal at E3 2010 and made their wishes for a strategy game closer in tune with the roots of the series loud and clear. Well, 2K games obviously isn't deaf to the...
A few weeks back, I made the trek up to New York City in order to have a preview with Borderlands 2 from Gearbox. This was the first press demo for the game, and now I’ve had a chance to settle in, watch the embargo lift and jot down a few of my thoughts. First, a little background on me as a player. I played the original Borderlands, and I enjoyed it a lot. I will say, however, that I...

[UPDATE] Jim Redner and The Redner Group have been relinquished of their connections to 2K Games, the publishing house represented for Duke Nukem Forever. Kotaku received word from 2K Games that Redner’s opinion does not reflect their own. The company fired him and his PR group.

DLC, or Downloadable Content, has become a way of life in this modern age of video gaming. You buy the game, and then eventually a DLC pack comes out with more characters, more options, some new maps or the like. It is a great way to add play value to a game and extend its lifespan, but how soon is too soon after launch to release it without it making the consumer feel like its overly...
