The summer months have never been big in gamedom. The amount of titles released across the board are low, quality often following suit. There’s the occasional diamond in the rough, a title so big that a timeframe can’t contain it. By and large, there’s crap. Gamers are lucky enough to find one fantastic game a [...]

Borderlands’ first round of DLC, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, went live yesterday for PC gamers.  Instead of letting us enjoy the ninja release, that was made available free of charge, publisher 2k Games went ahead and announced the second bit of DLC, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot.  The next round of downloadable content will [...]

Borderlands doesn’t offer deep customization to its characters – one of my knocks on an incredibly fun game – but the talent trees can differ one person’s Brick from another.  During my trek through Pandora I spent an awful lot of time analyzing and playtesting a wide range of specializations.  I thought it would be [...]

TheGameReviews.com posted my latest review in a far more timely manner than Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, the last review I did for the site. Here’s a snippet: “Far too many developers have failed at applying Diablo’s loot-grinding philosophy to a new property. Others have failed at applying this philosophy to an entirely new genre.

Other characters have certain melee talent skills to invest in, but not enough to build your character around. With [...]

GameRanger just announced that Borderlands (360/PC/PS3) has been added to the matchmaking service.  This brings the total number of supported games to 600.  Not too shabby. Out of curiosity I quickly asked Scott Kevill, the company’s president, if the service was marred by the same multiplayer bug currently pestering 360, PS3 and PC gamers.  To [...]

I was finally able to unlock Borderlands (360/PC/PS3) on my PC last night, and what an experience it was.  During my first few hours in the game I managed to climb the ranks to level 10, grab my first blue item, unlock numerous challenges – achievements that aren’t linked to any meta account – and [...]

2K Games has announced a very slight delay to Gearbox’s upcoming game with a “bazillion” guns.  The PC edition of Borderlands is getting kicked back from its previous release date alongside the console editions, October 20, to the end of October.  The 360 and PS3 versions will still come out on schedule.  The PC version [...]
