A listing from BradyGames on GameStop had revealed some information that a lot of people may like. The listing is for a “Borderlands GOTY Official Strategy Guide.”
In these days a GOTY edition usually signifies a game that has all the DLC included with it. For Borderlands this DLC would include, “The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned,” “Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot,” and “The Secret Armory of General Knoxx.”
The date on the listing is September 7th, so this could mean we will be seeing a GOTY edition of Borderlands around the same time. It could also just be a guide that includes the DLC without any actual game, but the odds of that is extremely low.
So if you haven’t bought Borderlands yet, you are in luck! This GOTY edition will help you in convincing your friends to join you on Pandora.
So that’s all for this week. Anyone interested in some of these or was eagerly awaiting one of these game’s release? There doesn’t seem to be any particular gems this week, with the most stand-out title being Toribash. It’s an online fighter on WiiWare over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, in which you can create your own moves, a concept that sounds intriguing, and might be worth a look for some of you.
Rumors have been floating around that the Test Drive Unlimited servers would shut down around January 2011 in order to give more server space for the sequel, Test Drive Unlimited 2.
Luckily for those of you who still plan to play the first game when the sequel hits, atari has stated that they will not be removing the servers. A representative recently stated that “they are not dropping the servers at all,”. That seems pretty straight forward. The Rep did say that the servers may be moved a bit but it really shouldn’t effect anyone.
If something goes wrong though (which they always do) the servers should go down for a few hours or maybe even days.
