A Gamers Week: September 30


With the return of my colleague Andrei Dobra to game playing duties we have two full Softepdia reviews to deliver this week: one for the highly expected Borderlands 2, the stylish shooter from developer Gearbox and publisher 2K Games, and one for Shad’O, a tower defense title preoccupied with the issues of memory.

We also have a number of Quick Looks this week: one for the demo version of the turn- based strategy XCOM: Enemy Unknown, one for a Starcraft II inspired indie called Tryst and the last one for FIFA 13.

In the area of Gamer Diaries we have a new one which details my space-based adventures in FTL, the Kickstarter funded roguelike that is inspired by everything from Star Trek to Firefly.

When it comes to Weekend Reading columns, we have one piece about the way DLC is changing the gaming space and one concerning cooperative modes in games like Borderlands 2 or Torchlight 2.

We also offer an EndWeekGame piece and a selection of the most significant news of the week that passed us by.

On Monday Blizzard suggested that multiplayer for Starcraft II might become free-to-play, while Treyarch talked about the way team cooperation changes the multiplayer in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

On Tuesday Black Ops 2 was again in the news as the leading multiplayer designer talked about possible nerfs to the perk system, and Borderlands 2 had some issues soon after launch.

On Wednesday BioWare leaked the details for the coming downloadable content linked to Mass Effect 3 and Nintendo talked about the millions of players that might still buy the original Wii.

On Thursday the developers talked about terminal use in Halo 4 and a rumor suggested that Valve might be purchased by Nexon.

On Friday BioWare revealed that it had special plans for female Shepard in the upcoming Mass Effect Trilogy, while the creator of Minecraft announced he was refusing to port its game to Windows 8.
