Here’s 4 minutes of Duke Nukem Forever gameplay [Comments Off]
Four minutes of pure unadulterated gameplay from “Duke Nukem Forever” got uploaded to YouTube today, so this is clearly not an April’s fools joke.
2 things of note:
- The first line spoken in this trailer is “I’m feeling lucky this Christmas.” Make of that what you will.
- Judging by the barely intelligible button prompts it seems that the game is either being played on the Xbox 360 or at least supports the control pad on the PC.
Trailer’s after the break. Looks fun.

Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is out this week [6]
If you are lusting for more “Borderlands”, this is your lucky day. Owners of the Xbox 360 version of the game will be able to download the new content, titled “The Secret Armory of General Knoxx” — what are you; some kind of Sherlock Holmes for knowing this already? — Playstation 3 owners will have to wait until Thursday. That’s right, ladies night. 10 bucks will get you in.
PC version you ask? Uh… awkward. I have no idea.
The add-on includes a whole new area for you to explore, as well as a new vehicle, new weapons and, finally, a raised level cap: You can now turn it up all the way to 61. #spinaltapreferencefail #twittertaginblogpostfail

First Red Dead Redemption gameplay trailer [3]
We’ve already seen what Rockstar’s “Red Dead Redemption” looks like, but so far, we didn’t really know what it was about, or how it plays. To alleviate that, Rockstar has released a new trailer for the game, showing us just that.
The trailer, which is posted after the break, seems to be the first in a series of videos introducing us to the title. This is a must-see, the game looks absolutely stunning.

Borderlands DLC #2: Mad Moxxie’s Underdome Riot [Comments Off]
After successfully delivering on “Zombie Island” (on PC now as well), Gearbox has announced another piece of DLC for “Borderlands”: “Mad Moxxie’s Underdome Riot” is a brand new game mode, which is very similar to ‘Firefight’ found in “Halo 3: ODST”. Gearbox’s Jon Hemmingway elaborated on the game-mode a bit further:
“It’s all about this crazy Moxxi character, and she’s running these tournaments. You go in and fight waves and rounds of monsters, and then she starts changing it all up. She throws out what are called ‘Moxxi Maxims,’ these rules that dramatically change the way the game play. She’ll be like, ‘Vampire Rule!’ which makes it so that the player’s health is constantly draining, but every time you get a kill you get a whole bunch of health back. Now all the players are like, ‘Holy crap, I have to play amazingly aggressive,’ so you have to charge in before you basically bleed out. Another example, she’ll go ‘Shotgun Challenge,’ where all shotguns do bonus damage and all other guns take a penalty.”
Also, you get a Gun-Bank where you can store all your weapons. “Underdome Riot” will run you a cool 800 MS Points or $10/€7,99. The Xbox 360 is getting it on December 29th while PS3 owners will have to hold out without “Mad Moxxie” until January 7th. Why? I don’t know.
Borderlands now a “franchise”, Borderworlds trademarked [1]
Superannuation is reporting that Gearbox has filed a trademark for “Borderworlds”. This comes hot off the heels of yesterday’s earnings call where Take Two have confirmed that “Borderlands” is now a key franchise.
Don’t shoot yourself in the head, little guy, you have quite some work cut out for you, still.
Borderlands DLC Zombie Island hits the streets [Comments Off]
If you roll with the Xbox 360, you can buy the new “Zombie Island” DLC for “Borderlands” here. If you’re a PS3 kinda guy, you will have to wait until the PSN monkey feels like updating, which should be anytime now.
Sorry, PC gamers!
The whole shebang will run you 800 Microsoft Points, $ 10 or € 10, and will require 1GB of space on your precious, precious hard-drive.
Go buy it, take tomorrow off. Cancel your evening plans. Order some pizza.
Borderlands DLC – The Facts [Comments Off]
IGN got to take a look at the new DLC for “Borderlands”, titled “The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned”. In their preview, posted after the break, they mention some interesting factoids:
- 6-10 hours of gameplay
- 50 new quests
- a stronger emphasis on narrative
No word as of yet, if they are going to raise the level cap but we are crossing our fingers, but common sense says if there wasn’t one, they would probably have announced that beforehand. My money is on ‘yes’. I don’t have a lot… of money. But what I have, is on ‘yes’.
“The Zombie Islands of Dr. Ned” drops on the 24th of November on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, and it’ll cost ya 800 space bucks or $10/€10.
The PC version will follow suit sometime after.
