As we barrel closer towards this year’s E3 games show in Los Angeles in early June, we’re going to start hearing more and more confirmations of highly anticipated games, as well as reveals of new entries to older franchises.
Recently, Randy Pitchford of Gearbox (Borderlands, Duke Nukem Forever) uttered such a confirmation.
Next week, a Game of the Year edition for Borderlands will be making its way out across the world, and will include a copy of the excellent first-person shooter/RPG, a collection of all of the downloadable content and… a certificate granting membership to the “Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club.”

[Update 1] More information emerging from PAX Prime regarding Duke Nukem Forever added a little further below. [End of Update 1]
The rumours were true! Gearbox Software will indeed complete development on 3D Realms’ Duke Nukem Forever, and pick up where that studio left off.
Join us now as we journey into a world of magic and whimsy. A land jostling and heated with madness and chaos. A kingdom twisted and warped by regurgitated lies, half-truths and mirrored reality, all moulded into a lonesome form that would send you on a voyage of insanity with a single blink of its crusted eye.
Welcome to… ‘The Rumour Zone.’
Gearbox Software has announced that the third DLC for Borderlands, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, will be available for the Xbox 360 on the 23rd of February (that’s today!) and on the 25th of February for the PS3 and PC.
It’s been revealed that there will be 10 new achievements for the upcoming third DLC for Borderlands, The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx. These new achievements will give all you gamerscore-hungry gamers out there the opportunity to earn 250 additional gamerscore.
Earlier in the week Gearbox Software revealed that a character from the upcoming third add-on pack for Borderlands (titled The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx) would have a Twitter account and would dispense information from it.
Gearbox Software has given us the heads-up that a new update for the PC version of Borderlands is now available.
Update 1.21 improves multiplayer connectivity so that “users should no longer be required to forward ports to host or join multiplayer games.” The 3D vision crosshair has also been improved and good news if you were one of those players who experienced distorted shadows or graphical glitches after update 1.0.1, you shouldn’t have these issues anymore.
Last week Gearbox Software confirmed that it was working on a third add-on pack for Borderlands, its popular role playing shooter.
The new expansion is called The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx and according to the developer will be the biggest round of DLC yet. So far we know that the new DLC will be aimed at players around 34 to 50 and that it will raise the level cap above 50 and introduce new weapons and enemies in a huge new environment. It will be available for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC later this year, although a specific release date and pricing have not yet been announced.
2K Games and Gearbox Software have already released two add-on packs for their popular role playing shooter Borderlands (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot) with another one (The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx) in the pipeline.
Now gamers will have the chance to buy the first two add-on packs on a double disc titled the Borderlands Add-On Pack. According to retailer GameStop the double DLC disc will be available on the 23rd of February for $19.99 for the Xbox 360 and PC. Currently there is no listing for a PS3 version of the add-on pack.
