NECA announces that series 1 of its action figure line based on first-person shooter RPG Borderlands, starring Claptrap and Psycho Bandit, is scheduled to arrive in toy stores in late May.
It's not such a commonplace thing for game companies to perform nice gestures for fans to show how much their appreciate their support. Gearbox Software is no stranger to such things, and when a fan requested something for his late friend, they answered the call.
Borderlands 2 has been confirmed by Gearbox Software to a source at EuroGamer. With all the hype from the first one it really comes as no suprise, just a matter of time.
NoobFeed.com starts off the huge Steam Summer Camp Sale. Ever wanted to be poor, buying digital data? Valve has you covered and is offering discounts on a mind-boggling amount of stuff. But you can also win some free swag here and there. Also, Daav details today's best deals and will do so frequently.
Coming off the rumors of Borderlands 2 being in development, an official statement has been made by the developer, Gearbox Software. Check out what they said on when we could see a new entry in the series.
"If you didn’t hear, Borderlands 2 was sort of revealed by Gearbox Software leader Randy Pitchford in a conversation; if that’s not good enough for you, they filed a trademark on the name ‘Borderworlds‘ a while back. It may be unconfirmed, but a sequel is definitely on its way.
While this is all good and exciting, this immediately brings to mind what they’ll do next.
Details are nonexistent at this point, but this is what I want Gearbox to present to us on our second looting-spree of Pan..."
Today Gearbox and 2K games announced that the free 1.41 Title Update will be released sometime during the month of November. The update changes a lot of things in Borderlands for being something free to download, not the least of which is raising the level cap.
At Pax 2010 Gearbox has just announced a free patch that will raise the Borderlands Level cap to 69. This patch will be released on the same date as the unpcoming Claptrap's New Robot Revolution DLC.
You honestly have been missing out if you have not delved into the amazing world of Pandora in Gearbox's 2009 hit Borderlands. Well, waiting will now pay off if you choose to procrastinate this experience even longer: a Game of The Year edition has been announced, with plenty of tempting content for latecomers.
Details of 2K Games and Gearbox's 4th DLC for Borderlands has finally been announced. The title is set to feature a Claptrap Robot Revolution and plenty of new missions.
"Borderlands from 2K Games and Gearbox Software was one of the surprise hits in the shooter genre last year. The game's success continued on through three DLC packs that added more missions, more weapons, more enemies and new level caps. Now all three are on sale for hall off this week as part of the Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week."
"XBLA has decided to make Borderland’s Zombie Island of Dr. Ned Dlc the Deal of the Week!
If you own the excellent RPG/FPS Borderlands and if you’ve beat the game from side to side, this Dlc if for you: the Zombie Island is a new challenge waiting for you. New quests, new weapons and Zombies!"
"The recently revealed downloadable content (DLC) retail package for Gearbox Software’s Borderlands, the Borderlands: Double Game Add-On Pack has now officially been dated for Europe. Expanding and enriching the critically acclaimed world of Pandora, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot offer new enemy types, new missions, new game modes and new Achievements."
Borderlands has been patched this week as well as getting a new DLC pack. The patch fixes a number of issues in the game and also re-balances some of the game elements.
Good news for Borderlands. The game has sold over a million copies since its release, with an additional 100,000 having been downloaded digitally. Gearbox Software's president Randy Pitchford recently told IGN that it was the developer's determination to make an "undiluted hardcore project" that ultimately helped it become such a success. When asked about the possibility of a sequel, Pitchford was evasive, but didn't rule it out.
"Over on the GameStop website, pre-order items have cropped up for a "Borderlands Add-On Pack" on PC and Xbox 360. The product description reveals that the pack will include The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, retailing at $19.99. The ship date is listed as February 23rd."
This article announces the release dates for Borderland's upcoming DLC. 360 on Dec 29th and PS3 on Jan 7th. I guess we know what you're spending those Christmas checks on.

The newly available DLC for Borderlands (the first for that title) brings zombies to the wastelands, and the mad, mad Dr. Ned (whose brother is the totally not made-up Dr. Zed) who has created them.
"In case you missed the original announcement, this DLC will take players to Jakobs Cove, where a fellow by the name of Dr. Ned has -- perhaps unwittingly -- transformed the local workforce into a rotting army of undead atrocities. It falls on the shoulders of the loot-crazed Vault hunters to discover a cure and bring peace back to the Cove, although let's be honest here: Nothing cures a case of zombie plague like a shotgun blast to the face."
"“… it’s hard to take this game and really kind of dumb it down if you will,” Martel said when asked if Gearbox is entertaining the idea of bringing the game to the Wii, or even the handhelds or the iPhone. “… we’ll see, [there's] definitely an interest there. We made Samba de Amigo for the Wii, so we love working on the Wii. We took one of the Brothers In Arms games and put it on [the Wii]. So we love the Wii [but] it’s not always the best thing. Nintendo sells the most copies, so, yeah.”

Borderlands isn't even out yet and 2K Games ia already talking downloadable content. Tonight they released the details, price, and screenshots for the first episode of DLC, coming later this year.
I am not entirely sure what has been going on recently, but some game developers appear to be taking a page from professional wrestling.
While there has always been a number vocal devs that made crazy statements about their games (classic: John Romero's Daikatana "He will make you his '*itch'" ads) I don't remember a time when so many devs have been taking aim at one another's products.
The most recent industry in the industrial crossfire comes from the creative director of 'The 40th D...
"As the grand opening of this year’s London Games Festival, London MCM Expo was always going to be knee-deep in sweet gaming goodness, giving visitors hands-on experience with upcoming epic titles such as Bandai Namco’s Tekken 6, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II and Monster Hunter Tri from Capcom. Now three more top developers give you a sneak peek at what they’ve got planned for October’s Expo."
"Gearbox president Randy Pitchford reckons "people are going to be surprised when they find out how quickly we're coming, and with what content we're coming", when it comes to Borderlands DLC.
"Also, we're going to watch and see what happens when the game launches, so we can have our plans affected by what our customers want more of," he told Eurogamer and others during a presentation at gamescom.
"But we do have some plans for the initial stuff already in motion, and I'll be announcin..."
"The debug menu was fascinating, though, as it's basically a giant database of all the possible combinations of guns you can have, from sniper rifles with shock damage and a blue scope to uzis with flame effects and a red barrel. For each category the total number of possible guns was listed and, at the top, was the total number of guns that could be created with all the possible combinations.
That number was 3,166,880."
"This mid-year update allows Plastic Wax to reveal 2009 collaborations that had been kept under wraps for months: the opening cinematic and unlockable cinematic for Activision’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game, two different thirty-second television spots that mix live action and CG (which involved animating the classic Slimer character) for Atari’s Ghostbusters, and the E3 2009 CG trailer to launch the new Relic/THQ title Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Plastic Wax also has a number ..."
"You may have played games such as The Darkness, Hitman: Contracts, BioShock or Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. I bet you didnt know that Plastic Wax was one of the companies responsible for the CG work that was put into those games. Pretty spiffy work, eh?"
"Borderlands, alternatively, has lots to offer as a shooter, as an RPG, as a vehicular combat-racer and as an overall interactive experience. Yet it takes a heck of a lot to get this game noticed at all. When new interviews pop up for Borderlands, no one seems to notice. One fuzzy, who-gives-a-care screenshot will arise for KillZone 2 and the internet gaming community fills with uproarious exuberance."
"Gearbox has modeled the adventuring and questing after the likes of Diablo and the shooting after Halo. So you can pretty much bet that a lot of questing in Borderlands will render loot-runs and adventuring much like Diablo III."
"For Borderlands its a bit different coming into the plot and unfolding the story. The entire scope of the way the story unfolds involve whats happening on the planet and its inhabitants. Within the macrocosm of Borderlands main story resides the individual, branching narratives for each of the three main characters. In other words, this is one of those grand-fantastic adventures that could be a huge summer blockbuster."
"The funny thing about this game is that if youre not just an avid RPG fan, or a die-hard shooter, you can also be a complete gear-head and still find a niche in Borderlands. There are a number of different vehicles present within the game that vary from the standard dune buggy to truck-like war machines. No matter what vehicle players will drive, each one can be equipped with a turbo booster that can send the vehicle into a warp-speed like speed boost, or extra weaponry to fend off baddies. ..."
"Even with a program randomly generating results out of certain parameters, the team still had to design a butt-load of triggers, barrels, handles, casings, ammo types, effects, palettes and everything else that comprises of a standard video game gun. This means that those 500,000 guns arent just simple toss-togethers, but are actually comprised of materials that players will have access to when customizing or modifying their own weapons within the game."
We've all been wondering what games will contain Trophies, ever since they launched back a couple of months ago, and whilst only a few titles have been patched with trophies so far, how exactly does the future of Trophies and the Playstation 3 look? Well, ps3trophies.org decided to go to Leipzig to ask that question and they've got back a list of games that will include trophy support.
While BioShock scooped the Spike VGA 'Game of the Year' gong, and the likes of Super Mario Galaxy and Rock Band both did well during the evening's awards, the popular celeb-infested event also threw up a raft of World Premiere trailer exclusives, which you can see in just one click via M&C Gaming.
Expect to feast your eyes on Prototype, Borderlands, Iron Man, LittleBigPlanet, Afro Samurai, and more...
