It would appear that PAX East-goers are in for a treat. Not much has been shown about Borderlands 2 as of yet, but it looks like we'll get a look during PAX East. One can give a good guess from the YouTube video (found here) posted by Gearbox that we are in for a new 'tank like' Vault Hunter that is all about getting hard and heavy in the thick of things. Kind of looks like a combo of Zero and Salvador. I'm rather curious to see what will happen, but I'll leave that up to the rest of the SI Team who will be reporting from PAX in just a few short days.

Bethesda have just launched an online store that sells more than just games. A whole selection of barware, clothing, accesories, bags, art and collectibles are available now covering a wide variety of their games. As expected you'll find merchandise from Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstein and Dishonoured.

So, if you fancy yourself decked out with a pair of Vault 101 sneakers, a Mark of the Outsider bag, a Bannared Mare T Shirt or a Tallboy hoodie while drinking from a Hound Pits pint glass then the Bethesda Online Store is well worth a visit. 

Also for sale is a selection of wall art to adorn your living room and if that wasn't enough then there's more.

On the site you can also sign up for the Elder Scrolls Online beta. So even if you have no intention of actually buying anything then you can at least sign up for a shot at the beta in what looks like being the next big thing in the world of MMOs.

You can check out the store and beta sign up here.

While we’re talking all things Pokemon, next week sees the North American launch of the Pikachu themed 3DS XL. It’s due out on March 24^th, is bright yellow, features the iconic Pokemon , comes complete with a 4GB SD card and costs $199.99.

There’s also an extra incentive for this flavour of 3DS XL in that if you buy it with one of the two games released that day (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates To Infinity and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon) and register it before April 30^th you’ll receive a code for a free 3DS game.

The choice of games is Super Mario Land 3D, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, Starfox 64 3D, Freakyforms Deluxe: Your Creations Alive and Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone.
