12th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards Nominees

"The Borderlands universe is no longer just a console experience. With intuitive, touch-based commands and slick UI, Borderlands Legends combines the inventory and skill tree management that gamers already love about the franchise with a layer of strategy that is popular on mobile devic


In May, it has also been confirmed a variety of features, such as full Spectator mode, Twitch integration, and support for in-game tournaments with the all-new Gauntlet mode will be added. Gauntlets are limited-time, in-game tournaments where you create a deck out of the cards in your collection and compete against other players to reach the top of the Gauntlet leaderboard. The conditions, prizes, and length of the Gauntlets changes month-to-month. More details on May features will arrive in the "coming mont


It may be a mobile game, but this is still Borderlands , and that means one thing above all others: there will be lots and lots and lots of guns. The Legends ad promises "thousands of different weapons," which is well short of the "bazillions of guns" touted by the Borderlands 2 launch trailer , but should be more than sufficient to get the job done. How those weapons are acquired, though, appears to be somewhat different than in the console games. The ad notes that players can "collect in-game cash by destroying enemies and purchase new weapons." Does that mean that there won't be any random loot drops or chests to scour? It might. It might also be a clue that that players can get right to the good stuff via in-app purcha


The Brady Games Borderlands 2 Digital Strategy Guide is responsible for blowing the cover off Borderlands Legends . An advertisement for Legends appears in the guide, and a copy of the ad made its way to the Borderlands 2 forums, Fraudabc site though the post has apparently been deleted. No matter - images of the add itself are currently all over the net. Check it out be


But that's not the only expansion being cooked up, as later in the press release Bethesda mentions it has "even bigger things on the horizon." These bigger things will come in the form of a big expansion that will arrive early this summer and come packed with a huge new set of cards, new mechanics and more. Bethesda has said more details will be shared at E3 2


Randy Pitchford has been vocal about his desire for a PlayStation Vita version of Borderlands 2 . As it turns out, there is a portable version of Borderlands on the way - and soon - but it won't be for Sony's handheld, and it won't be a port of Borderlands 2 . Instead, an all new game has been crafted for mobile platforms and tablets: Borderlands Legends , due before the end of the mo


"We have a whole host of new features and functionality in store for 2017, and we’ll continue with regular releases of new Stories and full card sets every few months throughout this year and beyond. With aggressive updates to the cards and the metagame, new Story campaigns, and upcoming expansions, we want Legends to constantly evolve and grow for new and existing play


Portal 2 , Skyrim , and Batman: Arkham City are just a few of the games (as expected) earned multiple nominations, but Uncharted 3 - even as acclaimed as it was - is not in the running for "Game of the Year." Other titles with multiple nominations include L.A. Noire , Battlefield 3 , and Basti


There are no limitations as to which games are nominated, and the winners will be selected by a group known as the International Choice Awards Network, an invitation-only committee housing 500 leading game creators from all over the indus


One way or another, we should know soon enough. New games generally appear on Apple's App Store late Wednesday night in North America (around 11:00PM EST), meaning that we could be playing Borderlands Legends in just two days - unless, of course, 2K Games plans to wait until the last moment and release the game on Hallow


For those unfamiliar, The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a game that has staked its reputation on being a hybrid of sorts - the same flash and nostalgia that fuels some of Hearthstone 's biggest moments with gameplay that is more closely aligned with Magic: the Gathering 's complicated, chess-like matches. That's been Legends ' selling point since day one, and it has definitely lived up to the billing, as its gameplay offers refreshing depth while still delivering an epic feel


The game's campaign has a story that is more entertaining than most CGCs and fans of the Elder Scrolls lore will definitely enjoy it. In addition to the narrative, the campaign mode also provides a cool level up mechanic. As players work through each match, they are occasionally faced with a moral choice, just like they would be in other Bethesda games. Instead of gaining or losing reputation with a certain character like they might in Fallout , players gain a different card or different card level up based on the choice they make. Deciding to save a wild wolf may add a wolf card to your deck, while deciding to put the pup out of its misery may add a card that destroys target creatures with power two or l
