Gearbox

All I have seen on the Internet since Battleborn launched on May 3rd was how amazing the prologue was. To the credit of everyone who said it, they were absolutely right. Through the awesome and fresh cinematic, to the choice of music, to the introduction of various game play mechanics, the beginning of Battleborn gets off to a wonderful start. For a game that relies so heavily on its multiplayer portion, the fun-to-play prologue is really pushing the idea of Battleborn being a fun game, even alone.

Gearbox has had a great deal of success with their Borderlands franchise, and has several other IPs worth looking into as well. They're not going to let you think something like Borderlands 3 is on its way when it isn't though - apparently nothing like a certain other developer...

Borderlands has a pretty rich world, completed by recognisable and memorable characters. The only downside is all that distracting shooting. That's why it's pretty amazing (and just a little surprising) that Telltale are working on a new set of episodic content based in the world of Borderlands.

Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition was the recent re-release of Duke Nukem 3D, available through Steam with a handful of bonus features. Achievements, reworked visuals and smoothed out gameplay all made one of the classic FPS experiences more enjoyable to a modern audience, while a handful of bonus expansions available through the game itself was enough to excite old fans all over again. There was also a DosBox version of the original Duke Nukem 3D included as well.

Although the season pass for Borderlands 2 ended with the fantastic Assault on Dragon's Keep, Gearbox isn't done with their smash hit action-RPG just yet. During a panel at PAX Australia, Gearbox announced new plans to keep the world of Pandora fresh through the fall, with new 'Headhunter' mission packs and a huge raise to the level cap.

There will be some new single player Aliens DLC. Stasis Interrupted will be the final piece of DLC linked to the Colonial Marines season pass and the first piece of single player DLC made available. The four or five people who have been waiting patiently for some single player Aliens DLC (or any Aliens DLC for that matter) since launch probably won't be able to buy it, as they're not allowed access to money lest they spend it on silly things like Aliens: Colonial Marines DLC.
