Borderlands is an all-new sci-fi action game combining elements of first-person action titles with player customization and vehicular combat. Gearbox CEO Pitchford revealed that so far what we've seen is only a small part of the game, and with 60+ hours of questing available to the player in just the first play through, there's much more to explore as they've deliberately been holding back showing off too much content.

The weekend is off to somewhat of  a weak start. The BBQ that I was SO looking forward to didn't happen. An odd change of plans stood in the way of my grilled steak, dammit!

Hope you all checked out our Nathan Fillion interview yesterday! If not, you better be on your way right now! It's good, and it's kind of funny to read about a Hollywood celebrity actually being into gaming, unlike other actors who "claim" they are gamers just to promote a game. Nathan, beware, I'll be sneaking up on you with an energy sword or whack you with the (gravity) hammer of doom!

In an original storyline developed exclusively for the game, Ben and the Omnitrix will journey to outer space and distant never-before-seen planets for the first time ever in the series, using his alien forms and their special powers in an effort to thwart a grand scheme to conquer the universe one planet at a time.

SCEA is giving fans a chance to get down with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on the big screen before the game releases in  Chicago, LA, San Francisco, or Seattle areas.
