Borderlands is set to receive a game add on pack, bringing two new areas and stories to the critically acclaimed RPS experience: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Mad Moxxi?s Underdome Riot offer new enemy types, new missions, new game modes, new achievements and new? surprises.

Visit The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, where the Jakobs Corporation would like to invite you to experience the splendour of a corporate owned small town known as Jakobs Cove. Any rumours you may have heard about the ?undead? walking our streets are completely preposterous and we officially deny them all. If those rumours turn out to be true simply purchase a firearm from the conveniently located Jakobs Brand Vending Machines and aim for the head. Also, would you mind saving our employees (non-union only please)?

Are you god?s gift to gun fights? Think you?re the best? Wanna prove it? Then help us celebrate the grand opening of Marcus Bank (a subsidiary of Marcus Corp) by killing hundreds and hundreds of people in Mad Moxxi?s Underdome Riot, the only competitive arena around where your next of kin can be assured that you?re coming back famous? or not at all (all proceeds are kept by us).

Key Features

The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
- Fully-fledged expansion filled with new areas, new quests and rare loot drops.
- New enemies - several varieties of zombies, flying ?corpse eater? creatures.
- Extensive co-op integration that seamlessly blends the single-player and multiplayer experiences.

Mad Moxxi?s Underdome Riot
- Three new Riot Mode arenas where players will endure an onslaught of Pandora?s baddest enemies. Working together, players will fend off the masses as they fight for fame, honour, and more importantly, loot.
- New bank feature, which allows players extra storage capacity for when they encounter one of the millions of weapons that Borderlands has to offer.
- Ability to acquire two additional skill points as quest rewards, making their characters even more powerful than before.

Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe Review

Mahjong solitaire has always been a terrific game, but if I were to sum up the experience in one word it would be "flat." Tiles are flat. The playing field is flat. Everything is just... well, flat. Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe breaks from this flatness by offering an experience with some depth. Quite literally, in fact. You see, Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe isn?t like any mahjong experience you?ve ever encountered. It takes the classic formula of mahjong and brings it into the third dimension.

EventsHubs caught wind of Capcom's new listing for the collector's edition of Super Street Fighter IV on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. "Dojo edition" will run for $79.99 and will include the game and all these goodies:

Super Street Fighter IV "Dojo Edition" gym bag.
Dudley t-shirt featuring Dudley tossing his rose.
24 oz aluminum water bottle featuring Ibuki with carabiner.
"Dojo Edition" head band.
1 GB USB drive featuring Juri and contains character art, wallpapers, comics and more.

You can place your pre-order right now over on Capcom's official store. The bonus items are all pretty neat, but I don't see myself dropping the extra $40 for these items personally. How about you?

Developer Spotlight: Platinum Games

post from Gamer Grenade News Blog on 19 March 2010 05:30:28 PM. © Gamer Grenade News Blog

Platinum Games? history is as odd as their games, as anyone who?s played either MadWorld or Bayonetta can attest. Mostly composed of talent from Clover Studios following their dissolution in 2007, Platinum has gained a reputation of releasing quality, inventive games ? such as the recent Infinite Space ? in an era when emphasis is [...]

Official: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is headed to
consoles

Official: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is headed to consoles screenshot

Arc System Works might think it's cool to release Guilty Gear: Continuum Shift -- the sequel to last year's Calamity Trigger -- in Japanese arcades, but we gaijin don't have that luxury anymore. In case Arc didn't notice, those went extinct about ten years ago.

Weekly Famitsu broke a story about a Continuum Shift console port months ago, but today's press release confirms a North American version. The game hits Japanese shelves in July, but mum's the word on the gaijin version.

Continuum Shift introduces three new characters -- Hazama, a street performer; Tsubaki, a knight; and Mu-12, who I don't know anything about -- and a handful of new levels as well as four new modes: Tutorial, Beginner, Challenge, and Legion.

Most of the modes seem pretty straightforward, but I have to admit that Legion mode, first introduced in the PlayStion Portable version of Calamity Trigger, comes right out of left field: "Defeat the enemy armies positioned at various locations on the map. The ultimate goal is to color the entire map with your color by defeating all the enemy hubs. Recruit enemy soldiers by defeating them!"

As if that explains anything.

I might be showing my ignorance here, but three new characters for a brand new sequel doesn't sound that compelling, especially since Super Street Fighter IV adds ten at a $40 price tag. But, hell, I'm just excited that Aksys, who's publishing the game, has even found a market for non-Capcom fighters in the West. I hope Continuum Shift doesn't cause brain rot, though.

Hit the gallery for character art and screenshots, and tell me what you think.
