The first batch of DLCs are head to Borderlands this month. "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned" has just been dated for a November 24th release.

There may be some glitches here and there, but that's certainly not stopping gamers from getting hold of Borderlands (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC)-- or at least trying to. Reports are coming in, saying that there appears to be a shortage of the game on retail shelves.

Those who managed to snag illegitimate early copies of Forza Motorsport 3 or Borderlands and played them online via Xbox Live are now facing the wrath of the mighty banhammer. Microsoft maintains its crusade against offenders and those they find guilty will be (or have already been) permabanned.

Thanks to some nifty procedural generation, Borderlands already has an absurdly high gun count. If a couple hundred thousand firearms are still not enough for you, you can get an extra eight from GameStop.

Borderlands is one of the better looking games I've seen all year thanks to the new art style. Still, the gameplay is much more important in an open-world game like this. The best way to show it off would probably be by way of a demo, but there's a chance that we won't be seeing a Borderlands demo anytime soon. DLC, on the other hand, has a better chance of appearing.

It's not exactly a firm release date yet, but the release window for Gearbox Software's upcoming sci-fi shooter-RPG Borderlands has been narrowed down.

Here's a new trailer for Gearbox Software and 2K Games' Borderlands (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC) showing off the game's new concept art-ish style. It seems to be mostly made of cutscenes but there's a second's worth of gameplay footage that doesn't seem to be all that different from the pre-rendered parts. Check it out after the jump.

Borderlands (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC) kinda dropped out of the radar after we all heard about the "OMG 650,000 guns in-game!" thing from Gearbox president Randy Pitchford. Those waiting for the game can rest assured, though, as it is apparently still a go for release this year.

I admit, I did a bit of a double take myself when I heard that Borderlands (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC) has hundreds of thousands of weapons. Of course, most of these weapons will likely be variations that only have a tiny bit of difference from one another, but still, that's a heck of a lot of guns. What's even more impressive is that according to Gearbox president Randy Pitchford, they've actually increased the number to well past the half-million mark.

New info and screens are out for Borderlands, what Gearbox Software is touting as their "next big original IP." It's certainly an ambitious project, with hundreds of thousands of weapons available in the game's arsenal. Click on the "read more" link for more details and those screenshots.
