No sign of the Mysterons

As previously rumoured, Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Posterior will be the first downloadable expansion for Borderlands 2. Er, we meant Pirate’s Booty... Obviously. The content will release next week on the PlayStation Store and will transport plunderers to a new location labelled Oasis. According to Gearbox gaffer...

What about the Mysterons?

Borderlands 2’s first expansion pack will be entitled ‘Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty’, according to an updated Trophy list. We’re guessing that the content has absolutely nothing to do with the creepy 60’s sci-fi show, but would be absolutely delighted if it did. The expansion will add three new...

Columbia beckons

After a lengthy hiatus, BioShock Infinite is finally ready to step back into the limelight.

Wand waving

Gearbox has some fairly aggressive DLC plans in place for Borderlands 2 – and it looks like it’s enlisting on the assistance of fellow studios to help achieve its aims.

Mayhem awaits

With Borderlands 2 now on a crash course with your PS3’s disc slot, publisher 2K Games has released a brand new trailer promoting the loot-heavy first-person shooter. It’s packed with dialogue snippets and slogan quotes, but the focus is of course on the guns. And there are lots of them – bazillions, in fact. Do you intend to...

Handsome Jack on your hard drive

If it’s anything like its predecessor, you’re probably going to want to play Borderlands 2 time and time again. As such, it makes sense to have the game safely stored on your hard drive – which is perhaps why developer Gearbox has decided to sell the title day-and-date on PSN. Those of you in North America or...

Itchy fingers

As far as pre-order bonuses go, Borderlands 2’s mysterious Golden Key is absolutely genius.

Homework

If you’re one of the many people that’s already pre-ordered Gearbox’s upcoming Borderlands 2, then you might want to start thinking about the type of character you’re going to build. The developer has added a brand new skill tree calculator tool to the game’s official website, allowing you to waste away the day plotting out perks...

In the firing line

Gearbox’s extremely popular Borderlands franchise has maintained its record breaking form by smashing pre-order records.
