    Xbox advertised the giveaway on the hellscape that is Twitter. Retweeting their post also sadly seems to be the...

    The Full Borderlands Movie Trailer is... Well, It's Certainly Something

    We have Guardians of the Galaxy at home.

    The full trailer for the upcoming Borderlands movie is out and wow is it ever a movie trailer. That much is certain. Look, maybe the full movie is fantastic. We're only seeing a couple of minutes here from the full film, so maybe the rush to judgment isn't warranted.

    Still, you can't help but go in with a fair bit of skepticism after yesterday's brief teaser showing off some of the cast as they appear in the movie. Even after...

    Get a Look at the Curious Cast of the Borderlands Movie

    Every role just seems so miscast.

    Casting announcements for the Borderlands movie trickled out throughout early to mid-2021. Outside of a few silhouettes, we really didn't get a good look at what the cast actually looked like in character. That was true, at least until today.

    The media blitz for the Borderlands film looks like it's about to kick off. A few still images from the film came out today along with a movie poster and brief teaser trailer. A full trailer is...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
