Meat the next Borderlands character on May 14

May 7, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 19 Comments

So who’s still playing Borderlands 2? I’ve already embedded my controller firmly into my TV as I struggle through Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, but dammit, I’m still hooked. And that’s just with one character. There’s still four more to get through, and as of next week, there’ll be a sixth.

For all the hate cast towards Gearbox for their mismanagement of the Aliens franchise, you have to appreciate all the effort they’ve put in to making Borderlands 2 a better, bigger game. Season pass holders have already been treated to 3 bits of expansive campaign DLC (two of which weren’t rubbish!) – and soon, there will be a fourth.

Borderlands 2 reveals a new Vault Hunter

While Gearbox may be tugging at their collar with a stifled doh! every time someone brings up Aliens: Colonial Marines, at least that other game that they actually worked on is still doing well. With three out of four DLC packs down and one more to go, what’s next for Borderlands 2? Why, an experimental Vault Hunter, that’s what.

Some people think that Borderlands 2′s Tiny Tina is racist

February 4, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 1 Comment

By now, it’s well documented that we happen to be utterly in love with Borderlands 2, our 2012 game of the year that isn’t Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Great guns, unreal monsters and even better characters made this one of the best titles of the year, something that plenty of other folks would agree on. What some other folks also agree on however, is that the loveable underage psychopath Tiny Tina is a racist stereotype. Those fools be crunk in the head yo.

Don’t expect to see Borderlands 2 on the Wii U

November 27, 2012 at 11:15 am | 10 Comments

A new console. A hit game. Opportunity. Underpants. Profit! With the Wii U out this week locally, there’s more than a fair share of third party games arriving, from Mass Effect 3 to Batman Arkham City. So what about Borderlands 2 then? You’d expect that tablet controller to be a good fit for the loot-centric title. But you’d be wrong as well.

Don’t miss out on these free Borderlands 2 golden keys!

There’s nothing better in Borderlands 2, than that sweet moment when you get your hands on a rare gun. Maybe it’s a shotgun with the AI of a homicidal robot within it, asking you to kill more humans, or a revolver that could crack the planet with the sheer power behind each bullet fired. But you’d sooner see me hug a hipster than find one of those weapons. Unless you had a golden key for that special chest in Sanctuary, that is. Here’s how you can score some loot this weekend.

It’s safe to say, that Borderlands 2 has been a rousing success so far for developer Gearbox. The sequel, while not revolutionary, is just plain fun to play, and even better with friends. Maybe one day, Garth will know that feeling. Moving on, there’s a ton of content on the way, starting with the early release of the Mechromancer last week, and new DLC today. Promotional material, hoooooo!

Borderlands 2 received a nifty update yesterday that saw the Mechromancer class added to the badass ranks. Well, those ranks that weren’t wiped out thanks to a certain glitch that is. There’s more coming, as the season pass detailed, but what exactly will we buying ourselves then? Well according to some internet detective work, there’s some brand new locations on the way in that future DLC.

The many,many badass weapons of Borderlands 2

October 3, 2012 at 3:00 pm | 17 Comments

I’ve pretty much fallen in love with Borderlands 2. From it’s fantastic references, improved characters and the fact that Claptrap has more of a starring role, I’m pretty happy so far. But of course, the game is about more than that. Much more, because with 87 bazzilion guns on offer with which to add some new wub wub holes into enemies, there’s a lot of fun to be had experimenting and trying out new weapons. Here’s a look at some that are pure baaayyyd-esss.

September 18, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 18 Comments

There’s no denying that world of Pandora in Borderlands is quirky, humorous and wants you dead. Fortunately, the planet is teeming with natural resources, and by natural resources, I mean guns. Lots of guns. So many, many guns littering the planet. Here’s a look at the arms manufacturers from across the two games.
