Gearbox Software’s Borderlands 2 recently received a Game of the Year Edition, which means those of you who have yet to buy the game can do so while also getting all of its previously released downloadable content. Just because Borderlands 2 has a Game of the Year Edition doesn’t mean Gearbox Software is done with the game’s downloadable content as a new Halloween-themed DLC will be available starting on October 22.

We think it’s safe to say 2K Games & Gearbox Software’s Borderlands 2 has been deemed a huge success by gamers who appreciate the titles mix of first-person shooter elements along with role-playing game features. Since its release, we’ve seen a number of downloadable content, such as the Krieg the Psycho and Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, but if you purchase the game now, you’re going to be spending a ton of cash on the game and its additional DLC. That’s why 2K and Gearbox Software will be releasing Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition on October 8 in North America and October 11 internationally. (more…)

Borderlands 2 Game Of The Year Edition Confirmed For October 8 Release original content from Ubergizmo.

Shortly after the release of Borderlands 2, we were introduced to a new playable character, Gaige the Mechromancer, which was released as a downloadable add-on in October. This week, Gearbox Software unveiled a new playable character which is expected to be released on May 14 called Krieg the Psycho Bandit.

Krieg the Psycho Bandit is a reformed version of the Psychos we’re sure you Borderlands players have become quite familiar with. Krieg will use a combination of his trusty axe and explosives to take down his enemies and will come with three skill trees: Bloodlust, which will increase Krieg’s abilities when he kills with his Buzz Axe; Mania, which will increase his damage output as he takes damage; and Hellborn, which will make him an even deadlier character when he’s on fire.

Gearbox Software recently announced its Borderlands 2 will be receiving an update that increases the game’s level cap, will introduce a new vault hunter as well as a new mode called “Vault Hunter’s Mode.” But if you consider yourself a true vault hunter, then you might want to check out this real-world limited edition Borderlands 2 diamond-plate loot chest.

The loot chest offers a combination of in-game and real-life loot that any vault hunter would love to get their hands on.

• Diamond Plate Loot Chest
• Loot Chest Certificate of Authenticity
• A rare vacuform Goliath mask w/ SHiFT code that unlocks the head in-game
• 20 Trading cards with SHiFT codes that unlock Legendary items in game
• Vault Hunters Wanted Poster
• Window Decals for Hyperion, Jakobs, Maliwan, and more

The main selling point of this chest would certainly be the chest itself, but considering there are some really great additional items in there, as well as a number of SHiFT codes that will equip your characters with legendary items, then its $99.99 price point doesn’t sound so terrible. Also, it’s being sold by ThinkGeek, which you know means it’s most likely a quality product.

Waiting sucks. But unfortunately we have to wait a while longer for Borderlands 2. It will arrive on September 18th in North America and September 21st internationally. The developer, Gearbox Software, knows that we need a fix so they’ve released an official 16-bit demake of the game.

It should be just enough to whet your appetite while you are waiting. This demake is titled The Border Lands. Players can pick one of the new characters that are available in Borderlands 2, but sprite form. It looks like it’s all about shooting enemies, level up, and pick up loot.

In other words it’s just like the Borderlands that you know and love. To play you just use the arrow keys to move and the space bar to fire. Depending on what weapons you use, it could be a quick game, though. For instance, a railgun that fires both in front and behind of the player will annihilate most enemies easily, even the bosses. It is just some fun while you bite your nails and wait for the real deal to arrive. Check it out here.
