Overview Telltale Games has recently created a reputation for crafting memorable experiences with properties that gamers are already likely familiar with. Still… the concept of a Borderlands game in Telltale form seemed strange when first announced but so far the company has managed to prove themselves by creating great moments throughout the course of the first two episodes of Tales from the Borderlands. So now that the third episode in the series, Tales from the Borderlands: Catch a Ride, has been released have they been able to keep that same level of quality?
Story As should be expected, this review may contain spoilers concerning certain story elements from past episodes of Tales from the Borderlands so those who have not yet finished Atlus Mugged should do so before continuing. Now that that is out of the way, Tales from the Borderlands: Catch a Ride drops players right where things left off, in a massive cliffhanger that saw players choosing to either have Rhys trust his con artist partner Fiona or give the disembodied Handsome Jack that has taken up residence in his head a chance to take things for a spin.
I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with his opening segment since there are many immediate differences in the way things play out in Catch a Ride depending on what you choose and some of these result in a few things that will be different throughout most of the episode, creating a long enough lasting change to actually make playing through the episode more than once worthwhile, an aspect that has often only shown how weak a player’s choices tend to be. It is worth noting though that at least by the end of the episode however most things have still settled back down into the standard formula so don’t worry too much about it if you don’t feel like going through the episode twice.
Anyways, after dealing with a new threat that originally set up the Vault key deal that went sour at the beginning of the game and acquiring the Gortys Project, the group discovers that the orb is actually a robot, a robot that happens to be adorable in almost every way from its naivety, to its interactions with Loader Bot, to its cute design. Gortys was designed to lead those who found her to a particular Vault, however it is missing at least one part (and likely more) that Rhys, Fiona, and the rest will have to track down.
Doing so leads them to a strange Atlas facility where they must once again split up and try to deactivate the automated defense system while also retrieving the upgrade as quickly as possible due to the amount of people on their tale. As Fiona and Rhys briefly separate we see Fiona undergo quite a bit of character development as she learns how to take care of herself and use her knowledge to take on an enemy, especially since she now has an unlocked weapon that will be discussed later, while Rhys continues to deal with Handsome Jack and also try and get close with another character in the group.
Of course this all eventually leads to a spectacularly explosive finale full of ridiculous action sequences that live up to the Borderlands name with characters clambering on dangerous fast moving vehicles, getting into fights while tied upside down, and more. It even features a few more guest appearances from familiar faces as two members from the original Borderlands appear in a fashion that, despite seeming out of character, is actually fitting considering who they are after and the way that it ends up establishing the beginning of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
The choices made throughout Catch a Ride seem to have far less consequence than the previous episode though this doesn’t mean that they won’t play a factor once the series returns with the next episode, especially since this one ends with yet another cliffhanger that leaves the group in an even worse predicament than they were in last time.
Gameplay Following recent Telltale Games’ fashion, players will be spending most of their time watching characters talk while making a few dialogue decisions here and there while also taking part in quick time events to try and avoid a gory death. These sequences remain incredibly simplistic though it is worth noting that each character’s “abilities” are given some upgrades this time around.
An unlikely ally unlocks Fiona’s elemental wrist-mounted pistol and supplies her with a large amount of ammo for the gun, which makes her more capable in a fight but does ruin the aspect of forcing players to be selective of when to shoot and what element to use. It is also worth noting that Fiona’s money looting ways are still as prominent as ever and during a moment in Catch a Ride players can utilize an appearance changing machine that can give Fiona a complete outfit change, change Sasha or Vaughn’s glasses, or change the paint job on Loader Bot or Rhys’ arm for a price.
As for Rhys, depending on the player’s decision his Echo Eye will become even more corrupted as now Handsome Jack will be creating his own descriptions of things and people that can be scanned. This creates quite a few funny moments, especially if you happen to like his brand of humor.
Visuals & Audio The Borderlands aesthetic continues to work well with Telltale’s own style as the episode continues to be pleasing to look at with no noticeable issues this time around. There are plenty of fast paced action sequences that occur in the latter half of the episode and, depending on choice, the beginning of the episode as well. It is worth noting that, as mentioned earlier, character outfits can be changed depending on how much money the player is carrying around which does offer some variation though it will be interesting to see how long these outfits will stay changed.
As far as the voice track goes, the returning cast continues to perform their roles admirably while the adorable sounding Gortys is voiced by a very familiar voice actress who brings out the best in the little robot. The soundtrack found in Catch a Ride continues to be impressive with catchy tunes used during an early montage and during the credit sequence.
Overall If Tales from the Borderlands continues to be as impressive as the past two episodes have been and Catch a Ride is, then the complete series will rank among the best they have produced so far. With plenty of hilarious moments and sharp writing, Catch a Ride introduces a few new characters while developing the current cast and moving the story along at a pace that leaves gamers wanting more by the time the credits role.

Wednesday 8th July – Wakefield, UK – Team17 have today unveiled that they are developing and publishing The Escapists The Walking Dead, a new game in collaboration with Skybound Entertainment.
Merging the award-winning, smash-hit, indie game The Escapists with the worldwide phenomenon that is The Walking Dead, Team17 have taken the very best of both worlds and are now providing players with the opportunity to play Rick Grimes as he takes on hordes of zombies let loose upon the world.
In this unique game, recreated entirely in the charming 8-bit pixel art style of The Escapists, Rick is in charge of a band of survivors featuring many of the original comic book cast. He must secure the safety of the group by seeking out a safe escape route from each area, and manage several dangerous tasks to keep as many of the group alive as possible. The game faithfully matches the timeline of the comics and so as the player makes progress in the game they play through locations that mirror the progress of the band of the survivors taken from the award-winning comic’s epic story.
Daniel Murray, President at Skybound Entertainment said, “Team17 presented a creative plan to blend The Walking Dead into The Escapists and our response was simple. When do we get started? The Escapists is a charming example of a single creator’s vision come to life. We are excited to offer fans of The Walking Dead something different and The Escapists The Walking Dead is just that. A playful interpretation that we believe fans of great games in general will love.”
Debbie Bestwick, Team17’s Managing Director added, “With well over 600,000 units sold, the award-winning The Escapists is one of the hit indie titles of 2015. Masterminding your escape from prison is hard enough but how can we make it harder? Zombies. Remember poor Rick Grimes trying to escape hospital, organise life at a farm or hold up in an abandoned prison? A little bit of awesome 8-bit pixel love later and BOOM! It is great to partner with Skybound and The Walking Dead and we are really excited to ‘escapify’ the amazing, rich and sinister world of Robert Kirkman.”
Team17 will be globally debuting the game at the Walker Stalker Fan Fest in Petco Park, San Diego, California during the 10th and 11th July.
Attendees, roamers and fans will be able to get exclusive first hands-on playable with Rick Grimes in the Harrison Memorial Hospital level.
The Escapists The Walking Dead is scheduled for a 2015 release on Xbox One and PC.

Overview
Good ol’ Koei Tecmo know how to please their fans. Even though we just received Samurai Warriors 4 not too long ago for the Vita and Playstation 4, Samurai Warrior Chronicles 3 has landed on the Nintendo 3DS and Vita, mainly existing to please some Nintendo fans wanting more from the beloved franchise. Honestly, I think it is a good move as while the Vita did get a “prettier” version of the same series earlier this year, it isn’t too often when the 3DS gets a title from the Warriors line – which seems to be changing in the other direction as we move forward. With some new features and customization, how does this title fare? Let’s find out.
Story
The story in Samurai Warriors is honestly not a huge factor for the title whatsoever. Like all titles from the same line, this one places the player in the period where multiple empires are at war, with a ton of dialogue inserted to move the plot forward. When I say a ton, I truly mean a ton as this may very well be the most conversational cast to come to a portable Warriors game. Of course that is a good thing for players looking to soak up the lore, but for the most part you play a simple soldier who is just part of the action, rather than a focal point. Sure, characters respond a bit to your character differently if you pick a male or female – but don’t expect to feel like more than a foot soldier set among more famous allies.
Gameplay
The gameplay is what truly matters and thankfully- fans will be happy to know that this installment does well in terms of performance. For the most part, the controls are on par with the Warriors titles of the past, allowing for some quick hack and slash gameplay that Koei has seemed to master on consoles over the years. Of course this is a Chronicles title and is a spin-off of Samurai Warriors – intended for portable platforms, so expect a bit less overall in terms of upgrades and depth that a console version may have. Now I know, Samurai Warriors 4 was on the Vita – but I played this on the 3DS and that Vita version of 4 is simply a port of the Playstation 3 version. I am not trying to make excuses for the shortcomings of Chronicles 3, I just feel it is important to have a full understanding of the intended audience and purpose of this lightweight title before players decide to pick it up.
Getting back on track, one of the finest features of Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 is the customization. Right at the start, players must create a character to their liking to take to the fields. The creation tool is actually rather complex and surprised me a bit, as you can even change the tone and general shape of your character. I know that sounds rather silly to compliment, but I find it kind of nice when developers let players use their full imagination – meaning you can be as serious or offbeat as you choose to be. A returning feature that has been improved upon is the ability to switch heroes during battle. Now players can simply tap their icon on the map and instantly get a new perspective without having to make a long trek. Its convenient and a great use of the touchscreen controls, streamlining the action for further simplicity. Speaking of touchscreen – War Arts are new abilities for warriors that improve the odds during battle. This isn’t a game changer by any means, but it was nice to see a little option come in handy during some of the earlier portions of the game.
I may have made the upgrading mechanics seem a little weaker a moment ago compared to other Warriors titles, but that doesn’t mean that the system in place isn’t well crafted. Chronicles 3 features three different shops that can be upgraded by investing gold. The further the upgrade, the better equipment you can get as the player as a whole (or better parties via the tea house). The game does give a lot of currency after each mission as well, and that is where things become a bit of a mixed bag. It is easy to level up and upgrade and ultra convenient. However, you can easily become overpowered and take a lot of the challenge away unless you switch to the default characters of the current campaign mission. Sure, there are difficulty settings that can attempt to balance this, but even with that its only a matter of time before you literally hack through everything in sight without any qualms.
Challenge Mode is kind of like “Let’s Make a Deal” of the Warriors world here. Players do missions such as reaching checkpoints and taking down opponents throughout – but eventually will have to choose if they want to move on or take the rewards collected before moving onward after defeating a boss. Its a fun offering that provides a ton of extra gameplay on top of the main campaign, and can easily become a great time sink. If I had any gripes about Samurai Warrior Chronicles 3, it would have to be the camera – which is something I fought with regularly with the 3DS version. At times I would have a piece of the environment in front of my character and the batch of foes I was fighting, and if it was not a hack and slash – that very well could have caused a problem. Of course being able to see my character is something that I feel is needed – and hopefully in future portable versions Koei can fix this frustrating camera issue for the 3DS.
Visuals
When I first saw the character model in the creation mode and watched a few of the cutscenes, I was honestly impressed with how great the models looked. Shortly after, that kind of wore off as this title is not that pretty in general while you are actually playing the game. While the frame rate is stable and animations are fluid (which is a big deal when you have so many enemies on the screen), the visuals are kind of muddy and the models look severely dated, even by 3DS standards. The cutscenes look fine, but the dialogue sequences seem like two png images that have been plastered on a background so players get a crisp 3D image if they have the slider up. Sure, it does look ok then, but if you choose not to use 3D – it looks cheap and kind of hurts the overall presentation.
Audio
The sound is well done. Sure, the dialogue may be in Japanese, but subtitles are very present and most fans of the franchise will be just fine with the lack of English voice actors. The music is also well done – but not very memorable overall. That is more of a personal opinion about all of the Samurai Warriors titles though, as while I have heard praise over the soundtrack, I feel it is more of just themed tunes that are used to solve the lack of noise. Either way, it is a complete package and at least fitting – so no complaints here.
Overall
Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 is a great addition to the series and more than welcome in the west. Sure, it is not as good as other portable entries – but it brings more of the same satisfying combat and mission structures that keeps this franchise’s heart beating. Sometimes all a portable spin-off has to do is merely tackle the concept correctly to be deemed “good”, and for what its worth, Chronicles 3 is more than enough to appease our appetite until something greater comes along.

The very first episode of Dragon Ball Super has just aired in Japan over the weekend in what is an exciting time for Dragon Ball fans around the world. While it may be a tiny bit late, this Dragon Ball Super primer is aimed at getting you in the know about this all new series that is expanding upon one of the biggest anime franchises of all time.
What is Dragon Ball Super?
Dragon Ball Super is a brand new anime series continuing on from the events of Dragon Ball Z. Unlike Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, Super will not be an anime adaptation of a manga. Rather, a manga is being produced that releases after the show airs. The story of Dragon Ball Super is being written by original series creator Akira Toriyama and being produced by Toei Animation.
When does the new series take place?
Dragon Ball Super takes place 6 months after the defeat of Majin Buu on the Sacred World of the Kais. That means the events of Super start before both Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’, and even before the 2008 Jump Special Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return which the events there in occurred 2 years after the defeat of Majin Buu!
Who are these Fat Beerus and Female Whis characters?
Nothing is known about these two characters except that they are new to the Dragon Ball Universe and Fat Beerus’ name is Champa, a pun on Champagne like how Beerus and Whis are puns on the alcoholic beverages beer and whisky.
How does Dragon Ball Super fit in with the events of Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’?
It seems that Dragon Ball Super will be incorporating the events of both movies but will be retelling them in its own way. A special message from Akira Toriyama stated
“Dragon Ball Super” is a complete continuation of the Majin Buu story arc. It’s got a bit of post-battle aftermath, continues with the “Battle of Gods” arc where the God of Destruction Beerus appears and the “Revival of ‘F’” arc where Frieza comes back to life, and then, I’ve written a strange new story where they finally depart from this universe. They’re fighting against their neighbors, Universe 6! They’ll yell at me if I give away too many spoilers, so I’ll keep the rest a secret, but they’re chasing after giant Super Dragon Balls; I think things will unfold in a bright and simple way, that will be really fun and exciting!
Since it’s another universe, loads of new characters will turn up. I’ll do my best to draw the tons of character designs necessary, so I’m looking forward to this too.”
Of course based solely on this statement it isn’t definitive that Super will not ‘work around’ the movies, but seeing as Beerus is stated to be asleep for 39 years in Battle of Gods which takes place 5 years after the defeat of Majin Buu, the events of Battle of Gods already don’t fit with those of Super.
What is Universe 6?
Not much is known about Universe 6 other than it will contain plenty of new characters. Beerus stated in Battle of Gods that there are 12 universes, all with their own God of Destruction. This of course could be changed as the events of Battle of Gods seems to be altered to fit in with Dragon Ball Super.
What about Dragon Ball GT?
As it stands it seems near impossible for Dragon Ball GT to fit in with the series canon and will probably be more unlikely once Super ends its run. Some fans are hoping the events of Dragon Ball GT will turn out to be what happens in one of the other universes.
How many episodes will be in Dragon Ball Super?
As for now we have no definitive answer but some sites have listed 100 episodes as the duration of the series, however this is most likely a placeholder number.
When does Dragon Ball Super air?
Dragon Ball Super airs in Japan on Sunday mornings at 09:00 GMT +9.
Where can I watch it?
Unfortunately the only place to watch Dragon Ball Super as of now is if you live in Japan. It was expected Funimation would pick up the rights to launch a Simulcast that would allow people all over the world to watch it with subtitles as the show aired in Japan but this has not happened as of yet. There is still hope this will happen in the near future and that all episodes aired previous to the Simulcast launch will be added. Of course this is the modern age we live in so finding a place to watch the episode online once it airs in Japan isn’t exactly a hard task.
