New Borderlands Survey

Gearbox has posted another survey up about our favorite video game, this time asking you, the consumer, about the enemies of Borderlands.

Go answer questions, maybe you'll win free Gearbox stuff.

So go tell them how you feel about the Destroyer and Crawmerax and all that jazz.

The Critics Get It Right

There's not much argument among the true Borderlands fans which DLC is the best. When we polled you guys, it was General Knoxx by a landslide. Mr. Knoxx made Mad Moxxi and Dr. Ned look like Alf Landons (obscure political reference, anyone?)

We've got a pretty good sampling of reviews from the "pros" and they're thinking the same way too. On Metacritic, the 360 version of Knoxx tallies an 87. Dr. Ned earned an 81 and poor Mad Moxxi got a shameful 63.

New Feature (And I Get A New Name)

Over the past few months we've started covering other games on guide sites much like this one. From the beginning though, we felt that these sites had one big shortcoming.

If a Borderlands Guide reader wanted to comment on them, he or she would have to re-register. After spending all weekend getting my hands dirty with PHP and SQL and other short words lacking vowels, we have a solution.

Site Upgrades This Weekend

For the next few days (3/5/2010-3/7/2010), I'm going to be tweaking the underlying architecture to the site. I'm hoping to minimize downtime but you might hit a "Site Down For Maintenance Page" for a couple hours.

The site won't look very different immediately but the changes will allow the site to continue to thrive and expand. Stay tuned for more updates.

What has been the best Borderlands DLC so far?

General Knoxx Day

It's here, and it's big. Salen reports the Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC weighs in at a whopping 1.6 gigs. Combine this with the hefty Borderlands 1.3 patch that just dropped and we have a significant update to Borderlands.

At the big gaming events like DICE, there's usually plenty to talk about during and afterwards. The problem is that the developers and publishers control all the information so we usually end up discussing exactly what they want us to.
