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.
"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..."
"Fresh on the heels of 2010 the Bonus EXP crew catches up on missed games, and goes back to old favorites like: Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Monster Hunter Tri, Mass Effect 2, Halo Reach, Splinter Cell Conviction, Borderlands, Dark Void, Turok, Too Human, Red Dead Redemption, Greed Corp, Minecraft, VVVVVV, Mafia 2, Enslaved, Fluidity, and 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors.

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.
"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."
"2K Games have been known as strong supporters of the PlayStation 3 format in the past. Having brought conversions of two highly successful Xbox 360 titles, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and BioShock, to the PlayStation 3’s belated party, as well as continually supporting the format with every title in recent years having hit both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 simultaneously (aside from the various DLC and retail releases of additional content for Grand Theft Auto IV, of course). However, the la..."
Slim pickings this week in the way of video game releases. Only Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West available by download for the PC and a retail release of Borderlands DLC.
"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."
"In the end, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot is really an odd combination of customer feedback and Gearbox’s desire to diversify. Players asked for longer, more challenging multiplayer activites, and Gearbox has decided to push that idea to the limit. But as it stands, this expansion doesn’t actually deliver much in the way of reward for the amount of effort required to complete it, which means it is probably going to be pushed to the sidelines."
The add-on pack recently released for Borderlands is still stumping gamers, and is considered one of the most difficult challenges in gaming these days. The Kartel puts together a comprehensive guide on how to beat 20 waves of enemies, so that you can collect the bonus skill slot that is much desired.
"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."
