We remain upbeat regarding 2K's Mafia II

It looks neat. But it's still some way off, with 2K announcing this morning the game is due in August. It'll hit the US on August 24th, with international folks having to wait just three days until August 27th. If you happen to be heading to PAX East this week, the game will be playable there. And that's really all you need to know.

It's been out for roughly six months now, but we're still talking about Borderlands

Why? Well mainly because it's awesome, but partly because 2K keep committing to new content for the game. Take-Two's committed to even more content for the game with CEO Ben Feder stating, "We’ll continue to support the title with more digital content." That's just swell Take Two.

Oh hell yes

We're ready for more Borderlands - and that's exactly what we're going to get this week. Gearbox has announced that the latest pack, The Secret Armory Of General Knoxx, will launch on PSN this coming Thursday. That's like, 2 days away guys! It'll cost $8.99 on the American store, so expect something like £7.99 here in the UK. We'll have a review of this shortly.

There's new DLC incoming for Bioshock 2

And while the first batch is totally all about the multiplayer, 2K's promised there is single-player DLC incoming too. 2K described the "on-the-horizon" single-player pack as a means to provide “more narrative, new tools and new challenges that extend the lore and fiction of the failed Utopia under the sea". Awesome. But let's stick to the..

Another week and another shooter has taken the crown from Ubisoft's current Wii phenomenom, Just Dance

Amazingly for Rebellion, Aliens vs Predator has become the fastest-selling game in 2010, topping last week's record holder, Bioshock 2 (now in third). Of course, they're both gonna get crushed by Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Either way, big congrats to SEGA and Rebellion, though we do have an issue..

Bioshock 2's Michael Kamper has told CVG that there are many stories to be told in the franchise's universe, mainly thanks to the uniqueness of Raptures setting

“Rapture is probably one of the most unique places ever invented. I have to imagine that there are many stories that could be told within its walls. “But right now we’re just focused on making a successful launch for BioShock..

This epic 3-minute Bioshock 2 launch trailer is properly the best trailer we've seen thus far this year

It's totally all CGI but it captures the game perfectly. We'd forgotten how subtley creepy the universe of Bioshock is too. If you weren't hyped for the game, you probably will be now.

Mafia II's senior producer, Denby Grace, has told IncGamers that 2K's upcoming noir open-world title is pretty much better than all the competition

He might be right too. The game looks phenomenal. Said he:“No other open world city comes close with the texture quality, attention to detail and destructibility of our environments. “As well as the story, the level of detail and realization of the..

Seemingly obsessed with the letter 'X', Gearbox has announced that the latest Borderlands DLC will be entitled "The Secret Armory Of General Knoxx"

According to the press release it'll include "never-before-seen enemies in a huge new environment complete with tons of brand new missions". Great start Gearbox. We already know the DLC will up the level cap - but Gearbox are yet to detail..

After the disappointment of the latest DLC, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, our Borderlands addiction is kinda teetering; embedded deep inside but refusing to emerge until we can hit a new level cap

Seems Gearbox know that, as they've announced a level cap increase is due with the game's next DLC pack, a pack they describe as "the biggest DLC we have made". We can't wait.

If you fancy rolling up to the Playstation Home bowling alley dressed as a Big Daddy then, erm, you can

All you need to do is preorder the Bioshock 2 Special Edition (on Playstation 3 obviously) from Amazon. The outfit is exceptionally detailed, and comes from Heavy Water (the folks who also make really good Home personal spaces and the like).

If you want to listen to a sexy voice talk about husbands over a root-octave synth bassline then, hey, this Borderlands DLC should have you hooked

Borderlands is the game that just continues to keep pleasing. It's due to hit the PSN in January.

With huge sales figures in the US, it's unsurprising to hear publisher Take-Two speak highly of Gearbox's new IP Borderlands

The publisher described the game as "showing every sign of becoming an important, long-term franchise." Interestingly, Gearbox just trademarked the name "Borderworlds".

Michael Pachter said Borderlands was being "sent out to die

" He was wrong. Gearbox's new IP sold at an alarming rate, faring incredibly on the XBOX 360, and still rather well as part of a congested PS3 line-up. In fact, Gearbox are claiming Borderlands to be the fastest selling new IP of the year, an accolade we won't argue with. Basing it on just NPD data, only Prototype comes close, but..

If you've had enough of Borderland's on-disc content and are itching for more, you'll be pleased to know that Gearbox are planning some Zombie based DLC for the loot-based shooter later this month

The content is due to hit the PSN this November 24th and promises "ferocious brain-eating zombies, carnivorous Were-Skags and more." The content will cost $9.99.

Bioshock 2's probably going to be awesome

But even with a trailer this explosive, we can't help but feel underwhelmed. Don't get us wrong, it's a good trailer, and the game looks good. But still, we don't feel anything for it.

Congrats to the guys over at Gearbox

Bloody awesome show folks! Yesterday the Internet was ablaze with scorned Playstation 3 owners who were having problems accessing Borderland's friends list correctly. A bumper forum thread ensued, with Gearbox's Scott Velasquez noting that his company were "working on a fix". That fix is now out there. That's right folks, within 24 hours, Gearbox have..

GameTrailers TV haven't had a big ass exclusive for us to post about for a while

That changes this week though, when host Geoff Keighley tackles the secrets of Bioshock 2, and finally reveals exactly who is running Rapture these days. According to Keighley there'll be plenty of new "single player footage and info" — something that's been missing for a while. You can catch the episode..

As reported on the 2K forums, an admin has stated that the company are aware of the framerate issues occuring in NBA 2K10, and should have a patch available soon

However, if you're one of those people experiencing problems, get in touch on the 2K forums so the codey people over there can get on the case and hopefully alleviate the product's short-comings. It's always a shame when things like this..
