Borderlands 2’s Golden Keys detailed

Now with the release of Borderlands 2 next week, I’m sure most of you are chomping at the bit to learn about what you will be doing once you unwrap that game. Now if you’ve remembered to pre-order Borderlands 2 you will be getting a special bonus which will net you some rather excellent equipment.

You see, pre-orders will give the player a golden key once the game is released and this special key will unlock a treasure chest in the Sanctuary. The chest will contain a number of very rare purple items that are scaled to your character. This means that if you were to wait to open the chest, you will find even more impressive gear at a later level than you would have at level one.

0

Reverb Publishing has just announced a partnership with Handyman Studios for a 2D sandbox title named “Edge of Space”. Edge of Space will test player’s abilities to build, mold, create all sorts of objects in order to make a planet manageable to survive. And even sometimes it is best to bring a mech warrior along for the ride!

Jake Crane, founder and CEO of Handyman Studios, offers the following:

Handyman Studios is thrilled to be working on our dream project of melding the vast reaches of outer space with terraforming, survival, and sandbox exploration. Teaming up with Reverb on realizing our fantasies of cybernetically-enhanced laser sharks in space is definitely awesome.

Cybernetically-enhanced laser sharks? The guys at Handyman Studios really thought out of the box for that one. Or simply watched Austin Powers and borrowed Dr. Evil’s idea. Still, the game seems to show a lot of innovative ideas to create and terraform a new world. Check out the game for yourself at Steam’s (Greenlight Section) and give Edge of Space your stamp of approval.
