GAME & TOY NEWS: Borderlands’ Gentlemen Caller Claptrap Announced

NECA have announced that they will release an action figure called Gentleman Caller Claptrap, a dapper version of the robot from Borderlands, in mid-December.

The 7-inch tall figure is modeled to look like the ’bot when he’s running the bank, hence his top hat, cufflinks (and cuffs), monocle, and mustache.

GAME REVIEW: Killer Is Dead

Much like the movies and TV shows of David Lynch, the music of Primus frontman/solo artist Les Claypool, and the writings of Mark Leyner, the video games made by Suda-51 are esoteric, never generic, and always unique.

GAME REVIEW: The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

VIDEO GAME REVIEW: Saints Row IV

The first two Saints Row games were little more than low-rent Grand Theft Auto rip-offs. But while making 2011’s Saints Row The Third, the developers clearly said “fuck it” and went so completely off-the-rails and over-the-top and politically incorrect that it ended up being a total blast. Now we have Saints Row IV,which is just as ridiculous and ridiculously fun.
