Borderlands

'Humble' is not a word I would rush to associate with Borderlands, given the chest-thumping, max-volume mania of 2 and the recent Pre-Sequel, but in this instance it means you can lay hands on the bulk of Gearbox's FPS/RPG series for few-pennies.

Excellent news, troops. Reinforcing the ranks of impending PC games show Rezzed - orchestrated of course by Eurogamer and this here website - is lord of the Borders Randy Pitchford. The Gearbox head and former magician whose surname isn't but should be Pitchfork, veteran of Borderlands, Brothers in Arms, Half-Life: Opposing Force and Ukeday Ukemnay Oreverfay, will take to the stage in Brighton on Friday…

Ah, here's a spot of good mini-news for platform mini-zealots such as you and I. We've become all-too accustomed to PC versions of games being cursorily ported cast-offs of the console editions, riddled with references to X buttons and triggers, but Gearbox aren't thinking that way for Borderlands 2. While the game's still, at best guess, around a year from release, already they're plotting on…

Eurogamer had already called it, now 2K and Gearbox have officially announced it: Borderlands 2 will be revealed at Gamescom later this month (I'm just about to pester them for an appointment) and released at some point beetween April 2012 and April 2013. Almost no details whatsover - this is how the games industry rolls - but there will be a"ll-new characters, skills, environments, enemies,…

Borderlanders! Gearbox has revealed that next month's 1.41 patch will up the game's level cap by 8 levels, and owners of the General Knoxx DLC can achieve an increase to a maximum level of 69. The game's enemies and loot will scale accordingly, too. It was RPS' opinion that Borderlands was only really ever any good multiplayer. Do we have any brave, lonely lone wolves…

Or Loving, Gift-Laden Zoo, depending on whether or not you've already bought Gearbox's pretty good RPG-shooter Borderlands yet. If you haven't, you might be planning on buying its upcoming Game Of The Year edition. (I chortle whenever a re-release of a game call itself that. By whose authority, exactly? I might buy a new hat and start referring to myself as Gaming Blogger Of The…

The fourth piece of Borderlands DLC has trundled into our crosshairs. It's Claptrap's New Robot Revolution, which is available via Steam or the Gearbox store for about $10, or £6.30 in Imperial cash tokens. I'll download it in a minute, and will try to have a look and update this post tonight with some thoughts on its worth. Gearbox have produced a mildly amusing trailer…

2K Games just fired a rocket of scalding-hot news through the RPS postbox. After waiting for it to cool, we read that a fourth piece of Borderlands DLC, Claptrap's New Robot Revolution, will be released this September, granting players 20+ new missions, 10 extra skill points and 3 more backpack slots. Exciting! Or is it? I'm not sure. I lost interest in Borderlands after the…

New Borderlands DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, will be out on Thursday, priced at $10. Apparently this new pack is even bigger than the previous Island Of Dr Ned, and continues the game from where it ended, raising the level cap to 61. There are reportedly thirty new enemies in this expansion, and even a 4-player vehicle (pictured above). Some trailers below.

Probably our major gripe with Gearbox's many-weaponed first-person-roleplayer Borderlands was that hosting/joining multiplayer games was more complicated than painting a ceiling with a live scorpion. Four people dicking around with router settings is hardly gung-ho adventuring. A mere four months after release, they've finally fixed the networking problems that made the game's super-fun co-op mode super-unfun. Or so they say. Actually they say this: "Multiplayer…

Gearbox have announced, but not dated, another piece of DLC for Borderlands. Here's the blurb: “This DLC extends the Borderlands experience, providing new challenges and opportunities for growth for characters from around level 34 to level 50. Growth for characters at 50? Yeah, that’s right, we’ve raised the level cap; even players who think they’ve seen it all have tons more to do! The Secret…

One Emcee Slick brings us Borderlands: the rap. "When you've got seventy million guns / why use swords and knives? / I chose the hunter Mordecai / and now I'm level 45." He knows it.

The second piece of Borderlands DLC is now available. Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot introduces a new "riot" mode, in which you face "endless hordes of menacing antagonists, thirsting for carnage in tournaments where the rules of warfare are constantly changing." It seems that the add-on provides a series of tournament matches in the new "Underdome" arena, which is presided over by the titular Moxxi, a…
