I’m starting to like 2K Games more and more. First, they launch the incredibly fun Borderlands. Then, they proceed to make mountains of DLC, in a market where most companies prefer to sell what should be DLC as a whole new game (I’m looking at you, Left4Dead2). So if you haven’t bought Borderlands, you should. If you already have it, get ready for more – the Robolution starts this September and includes more then 20 new missions, 10 more skill points, and 3 more backpack slots. Check out the press release after the jump. → Read More
Once you pick this game up, there “ain’t no rest for the wicked.” We all really enjoyed Borderlands here at CrunchGear, and here’s your chance to pick up your own copy for $25 at Steam. That’s 50% off, and one hell of a deal. Go. Now. You can thank me later. → Read More
http://cdn2.themis-media.com/media/global/movies/player/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf Personally, I loved Borderlands but Yahtzee clearly doesn’t share my enthusiasm. I found the game fresh, exciting, and all around fun, but I do agree with the analogy to Jason and all the little Jason aliens. → Read More
Yeah, this is likely the best thing you’ll watch today. That is, of course, if Borderlands stole the last few months from you. → Read More

http://www.giantbomb.com/video/video.swf Play Borderlands. You’ll love it and the fact that Gearbox Software keeps releasing modest-sized expansions rocks. The last one, Dr. Ned’s Zombie Island, provided me with a weekend of fun and the next one previewed above, looks just as great. So sit back and watch the teaser trailer for Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot. Then go play Borderlands. → Read More
Everyone, I beat Borderlands on the PC over the weekend. It’s a fantastic game and I highly recommend it although the end boss was a joke against my high-powered sniper rifle. But it looks like I’m not done yet. IGN got some playtime on the $10 DLC expansion and it looks fantastic. Zombies! The DLC Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is coming out on November 24 for the 360 and PS3 with the PC version dropping shortly afterwards. Check out the 2 minute video after the jump. → Read More
In a recent interview, Mike Neumann from Gearbox software was asked about DLC and the possibility of a Borderlands 2. And while Gearbox was pretty vague about the future of the franchise, I sincerely doubt that any game that has been selling so well that we’re seeing shortages, won’t have a sequel. → Read More
I may have been a little harsh on the Borderlands demo I was given at E3, but what do you expect when they show you Bioshock before hand? Anyway, here’s the trailer and it’s well put together, but most trailers are. We’ll be on the look out for gameplay footage and you can be the judge. → Read More
Bioshock This isn’t a press conference, but I’m hearing about a whole new slew of games from 2K. I missed the beginning of the Bioshock demo, but it looks like there will be DLC very soon. Challenge rooms are the hot new item where you can solve a series of puzzles to unlock trophies. The demo I saw required the player to help a little sister get off of a ferris wheel using telekinesis and electro shock volts or whatever they’re called. There will be puzzles and a wide variety of gameplay we’re used to in Bioshock. Photos or taping aren’t allowed. Borderlands Upcoming co-op game with up to four players. The Borderlands is the lawless outlands of space. One certain section of the demo I just saw looked like Halo. You just walk around and shoot “Scags” and collect items from these spacey looking treasure chests. Kinda meh so far. This is actually kind of cool. Your player retains all weapons and skills built up even when you jump from one co-op game to another. They’re geeking out over the weapons. Shotgun dismembers enemies and spews body parts everywhere. Kind of cool. 2K Sports coming up NHL 2K9 Wii New fighting engine. “It’s fun!” Demo coming in a couple weeks. “It’s really fun!” Wiimote is your hockey stick. Duh. Wiimote and nunchuck are used when fighting and driving the Zamboni. Use the pointer to select which player you pass to and you can link passes in advance, which is exclusive to the Wii. I like hockey but I’ve never been into hockey video games. What about you guys? Xbox 360 September 2008 launch. NBA 2K9 I reviewed NCAA 2K8 a while back and it’s fun, so I’m looking forward to NBA 2K9. They’re showing a trailer right now. October 2008 launch. I wonder if 2K Sports can compete with EA’s NBA title? Dynamic DNA is a pretty rad feature. It’s 80 percent done. Haven’t had time to recharge from the Nintendo press conference, so I may be signing off a little prematurely. I’ll update this post when I have time to recharge. I guess that’s it. → Read More
