For those who probably don’t have a few grey hairs yet, the original Borderlands started life looking eerily similar to every other aesthetically muted mid-2000s shooter. When it was initially revealed in 2007, it was more Mad Max than Mad Moxxi, following the vogue set by the likes of Gears of War and Halo.

For many players, Zero Parades: For Dead Spies will never be anything other than a seedy clone of ZA/UM’s reputation-making Disco Elysium – a soul-sucking forgery of a doomy leftist masterpiece, whose original lead writers and designers have been ousted by scheming executives. It’s appropriate then, that, Zero Parades proves obsessed with clones, forgeries, bootlegs, and the ways in which these entities can be wielded for erasure and displacement. Its opening third is a comical squabble over notions of authenticity and (thereby) identity, an interrogation of connoisseurship and the notion of the ‘genuine article’ as vectors for assimilation.

Disclosure Day is almost upon us. Steven Spielberg’s latest movie is a UFO-themed science fiction epic that marks the great director’s return to a topic that has thrilled and inspired him for decades. But, perhaps, we’re also talking about a real event: the US government finally coming clean about the truth of extra-terrestrial life. Or, as the UFOlogists put it, “disclosure”.That’s what one theory presupposes, anyway. Amid likely unsubstantiated rumors that Disclosure Day may turn out to be a stealth sequel to 1977’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind comes another, much wilder theory: that the film is actually a…

The Boroughs creators Jeffrey Addis and Will Matthews aren’t opposed to having their own Kate Bush moment, as music plays a pretty central part in the sci-fi series.”If there’s a great song called ‘Golden Years,’ let’s just do it,” Addiss says in the latest issue of SFX, in reference to both the David Bowie song and the show’s main cast quite literally being in their golden years. “Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Thunder Road’ was something really important to us, because it just felt like the right song for this show.”We don’t know what year the show takes place, though Addiss and Matthews…

At the 11th hour, the original Borderlands underwent a massive artistic revamp to shed the dour color palette already seen in many an Xbox 360 shooter and put on its now-familiar cel-shaded look. That last-minute change ended up costing parent company Take-Two $50 million.Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said as much in a recent interview with David Senra, which you can see below, where he recalled how the company were gearing up to release Borderlands, a game that was due to finish development two months later – until another executive walked into Zelnick’s office and said, “We screwed up and the…
