Borderlands GOTY edition teased by GameStop strategy guide listing
GameStop's "Borderlands GOTY Official Strategy Guide" listing would appear to be the unofficial harbinger of a "Game of the Year" edition for Gearbox's loot-whoring shooter, Borderlands. The book currently has a September 9, 2010, release date and we'd expect it to cover the DLC expansions "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx," "Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot" and "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned." Take-Two CEO Ben Feder stated earlier this year the publisher would "continue to support" the successful title with more DLC. We've contacted Gearbox and 2K Games for more information and will update if they send us a claptrap with more details. [Thanks, Eric K] %Gallery-51471%
Borderlands DLC 'Secret Armory of General Knoxx' goes public tomorrow on Xbox 360
Ready to cross the border into new lands in your ... Borderlands? The doors will creak open to Borderlands' "Secret Armory of General Knoxx" add-on tomorrow. TeamXbox reports that the downloadable expansion, which adds new areas with new missions, the requisite piles of weapons, and even an increased level cap, will be released on Xbox 360 tomorrow, February 23, for 800 ($10), with PS3 and PC releases to follow on Thursday for the same price. One more thing: When you go online to explore the new content, we recommend that you let Gearbox's own hiring policy govern your interactions with your fellow mercenaries. Update: According to a 2K press release, the level cap is increased to 61 in this expansion. "Secret Armory" also adds "almost 30 new villain types," improved AI, new vehicles and a new weapon class. %Gallery-85998%
Gearbox spills details on Borderlands' Zombie Island DLC
Even with all the delightful new games on store shelves, we know you Borderlands addicts are still jonesing for more loot. Sure, it's not something you'd discuss with your family, but it's a disease, a terrible thirst that can only be slaked by DLC. MTV's got some more information on the first announced chunk, "The Zombie Island Of Doctor Ned." The $9.99 island (due November 24 on PS3 and 360) is approximately as big as one of the smaller areas in the game and provides around four to six hours of gameplay, according to DLC design director Paul Helquist. Getting to the island and all the delicious new weapons within is a snap: You can teleport directly to the content after you buy it, and as long as you're level 10 or above the area will scale to you. Hopefully that'll give you gear junkies enough info to stave off cravings until -- hey, are you licking the screen?!
