If you got Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (opens in new tab) on Xbox One, you might have noticed its one glaring omission. Gearbox justified leaving the original Borderlands out because it didn’t have an appearance from Handsome Jack (who is a central character in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel), …

We’ve known ol’ John-117 was taking more or a sidelined role for Halo 5: Guardians (opens in new tab), but it’s a little surprising to see that the game’s opening cinematic totally fails to show him off. The Chief is AWOL in more ways than one, it seems. All the …

As you might have guessed from the name, Futurlab’s slick sci-fi actioner is a game primarily about moving very quickly. Sure, it has plenty more verbs in its vocabulary – you’ll also leap, slide, throw, shoot and teleport – but its defining characteristic is speed. You’ll earn stripes and stars …

The Needler is one of the more divisive weapons in the Halo arsenal, but whatever it lacks in firepower, it makes up for in uniqueness. With that in mind, the Needler replica included in Halo 5: Guardians (opens in new tab)’ Game.co.uk-exclusive Pink Mist edition is at least as useful …

Update: There’s more info on how Zombi plays on Xbox One, PS4 and PC (opens in new tab). If you missed ZombiU when it came out in 2012, you, uh, definitely weren’t alone. Now Ubisoft is turning its surprisingly inventive Wii U launch title into a downloadable game for PC, …
