Ay dios mio! Sin Cara’s on the Latin cover of WWE 12

I don’t recall ever seeing a game getting a Latin American Edition, but it’s fitting that a wrestling game would blaze that trail. Masked luchador Sin Cara will be replacing Randy Orton as the cover athlete forWWE 12in Latin America. Game content will be identical across all regions with only the cover athlete differing. It’s a neat idea, changing the cover athlete of a game based on the region. Given our industry’s affinity for changing cover art within the localization process it’s not an absurd notion....

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel illustrates the danger of nebulous season passes

Over the weekend, details came out of PAX Australia regarding thefirst downloadable Vault HunterforBorderlands: The Pre-Sequel. At first, it looked to me like a commendable gesture for a series that receives a lot of criticism on its downloadable content policy. To include a new character in addition to the originally promised content for those loyal enough to buy a season pass seemed worthy of applause. However, that image was based on a misinterpretation of theofficial blog post’s linethat references “all four of the upcoming add-on content packs,” and a few other (incorrect) assumptions....
