It's been a long time in the making. Borderlands 2 came out years ago (in 2012) so did all the spin-off games. Borderlands 3 is set to be released later this year and see's four new vault hunters taking on a new villain--villains I should say. New mechanics, new worlds and your very own ship. What Borderlands has always been known for are the insane amount of guns. This time Gearbox is doing something different, guns now have an alternative fire mode which gives you lots of options. I... can't... wait. As one of the pioneers of the looter shooter genre, Borderlands has been one of my favorite games to play. I love everything about the world and the characters. Now that we're about to open the game to not just Pandora, I'm eager to see where the game takes me. === Courtesy of Games News Network Video by Youtube [Gamespot]

So I just finished off Zer0 Sum, the first episode of Telltale Games latest series: Tales From The Borderlands and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I've played both of the Borderlands games, haven't tried the Pre-sequel yet, and I've played other Telltale Games. But there's something about Tales From The Borderlands that feels right at home in the craziness that is the Borderlands universe. Yes it's a point-and-click affair but everything Borderlands is here: loot and loot chests, guns, psycho migits, over-the-top badass action and lots of laughs. By the end of my playthrough I wanted to drive right back into Zer0 Sum and make different choices to see the outcome. There's a story here that's interesting in the way it's delivered and how it expands on the world of Borderlands after Handsome Jack  (*Spoilers*)  dies at the end of the second game. With the multi-perspective approach you play as two characters, Rhys and Fiona, allowing you t...

The forthcoming installment into the Borderlands franchise will set players atop the moon playing for the villain in Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack. We'll be able to see the rise of said villain come this October when the game is released on October 14th. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel brings NEW locations, enemies, weapons, vehicles and playable characters all while adhering to what made the first two game so fun to play. With the announcement of the release date comes a brand new--bust-a-move--dance trailer. ----- Courtesy of Games News Network

Krieg is official here.

Starting today and running until May 13, Gearbox is having a Borderlands 2 event to celebrate the coming of the new vault hunter Krieg. During the event Bandits will drop a lot more related loot. You can check out IGN and Game Informer who now have previews for the character up. --- Courtesy of Games News Network

The next Vault Hunter, Krieg, will be making his way to Borderlands 2 on May 14th for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Steam in the form of the Psycho Pack DLC. The DLC will be available for $10/800 MSP and is NOT part of the Season Pass. I'm looking forward to heading back to Borderlands 2 with a new character. Gaige was fun as all hells to play with, so I have high hopes for Krieg.

Gearbox Software and 2K have announced new skins and heads are now available for all the characters in Borderlands 2. There are 15 packs in total across three themes, Domination, Madness and Supremacy--that means three heads and skins for each character. Each pack will run you 80MSP/$0.99 and is currently available for download on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. All I can say is GIMME! GIMME NOW!!

Care to learn more about the story behind Gearbox Software's upon Aliens: Colonial Marines, then take a look at the story trailer they released. Aliens Colonial Marines is set to release February 12, 2013. I don't know about you but being a big fan of all things Alien I can't wait to get my hands on this game.

Aptly titled Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, this new piece of DLC revolves around our half man half robot scholar Sir Hammerlock. You can expect new weapons, new locations, enemies and it seems Handsome Jack has a cult following. Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt drops January 15th.

The second episode of Claptrap's Webseries was released today. It just another day in the life of our favorite mouthy robot--let the hilarity ensue.

The loot chest has been opened and Gearbox has announced the release date for the next piece of Borderlands 2 DLC. The Mr. Torgue Campaign of Carnage will be released next Tuesday November 20th and will cost 800MSP/$9.99. More Borderlands is always a good thing especially when it involves EXPLOSIONS.

Hankering for more Borderlands, well now's you chance to take Borderlands wherever you go. Gearbox Software has announced that Borderlands Legends will be coming to iOS devices at the end of this month. The game is an action-RPG-strategy game that features the original cast of Borderlands and will offer the same kill, loot and level experience only this time in an isometric view. Head over to Entertainment Weekly for a first look. The game will be $4.99 on iPhone's and $6.99 on iPad's.  Now I personally don't have an iOS device, crazy I know, but I will be downloading this game on one of the many iOS devices I have access to. Let the looting begin.

New information out of SDCC reveals some of the new features and places coming to the game. The location we get to see is called Sanctuary which has a few familiar face including Mad Moxxi and Dr. Zed. Some of the new features that we get to see from the new gameplay are the customization's; secret stash, which lets you share weapons between you characters; and Badass rank. Badass rank is a system that rewards you with tokens for completing challenges and then lets you use those tokens to power use certain stats on your character. In all Borderlands 2 is shaping up to be the game to beat when it's released this September. The guys at Gearbox Software have outdone themselves with this one.

With the San Diego Comic-Con in full swing Gearbox wastes no time in revealing a new Borderlands trailer. In Gearbox fashion the trailer is impressive and filled with the humor we've all come to love. September 18th cannot come soon enough.

It seems like every week, for the past few at least, we always start out with news that some game has been delayed. This week it's Aliens: Colonial Marines by Gearbox Software. This news coming from Sega today is quite surprising as the game was already pushed back once this year and now will be releasing on February 12, 2013.

This morning several sites posted and uploaded video, previews, interviews and more on two upcoming games from Gearbox Software. Borderlands 2 and Aliens: Colonial Marines. Below is a list of sites you can visit to get an overload of content.
