News Borderlands Multiplayer Makes a Quiet Return on PS3
Sound the Siren
The forthcoming PlayStation 4 port Borderlands: The Handsome Collection will not include the original Borderlands, so franchise fans may be relieved to learn that multiplayer has been patched back in to the ageing PlayStation 3 release. The title was rendered offline-only following GameSpy's closure last year, but Gearbox has teamed...

News Er, So You Won't Be Playing Borderlands 3 on PS4 for a While Yet
Gearbox recruiting for sequel
Gearbox gaffer Randy Pitchford told us to keep an eye on today's PAX South 2015 panel for more information on the next Borderlands, but instead of announcing the inevitable follow-up, he merely confirmed that the company's staffing up for the sequel. This is the kind of bad joke that we'd expect to find in the actual...

News Telltale Titles Reduced on EU PlayStation Store Due to Price Discrepancies
We will remember that

Review Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 1 - Zer0 Sum (PlayStation 4)
A hyper Hyperion hoot
Tales from the Borderlands is the latest in a new line of Telltale Games titles, which will be followed by Game of Thrones in December.

Round Up Tales from the Borderlands PS4, PS3 Reviews Crack a Joke
Apparently not Claptrap
Seeing as Borderlands is about as funny as being slapped around the face with a wet fish, we were always sceptical of Tales from the Borderlands.

News Could PS3's Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Come to PS4? Yes, It Could
Fly me to the moon
Gearbox Software’s gaffer Randy Pitchford must have got a whiff of current PlayStation 3 sales, because all of a sudden the company doesn’t seem to be quite so committed to last-gen consoles.
