Turn up the volume and prepare to rock out to this dubstep-charged Borderlands 2 trailer, which shows some of the game’s colorful-looking characters, as well as the release date for Gearbox Software’s upcoming shootin’, lootin’ co-op game.
Borderlands 2 will be out in the U.S. on Sept. 18 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Then, three days later, the game will be released “internationally” on Sept. 21, according to an announcement on the game’s official website.
There will be four-player co-op, split-screen, more skills, and apparently lots and lots of guns. Like, “87 bazillion” guns. No, wait, make that “870 gajillion”! Yes, yes, that sounds like a good, fake amount.
The guys behind the Uncharted series have finally released some details of their upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive. In case you didn’t know, The Last of Us is Naughty Dog’s next big game and we were only teased with a short trailer back at the VGA’s. A couple of days ago, GameInformer posted some new and exclusive screenshots of the game and that was quite a treat in itself, but still few details.

Below are all the latest details.
More and more games these days are locking out certain content and online multiplayer access to those that buy used games and don’t purchase a $10 digital Online Pass. Electronic Art’s upcoming SSX reboot will be employing said Online Pass, but you actually won’t need one in order to play online.
In a statement given to Game Informer, EA said that while new copies of their snowboarding game will include an Online Pass, you’ll still be able to play SSX’s Explore and Global Events’ online game modes without one. The catch? You won’t be awarded with in-game credits from Global Events; instead, they’ll be stored away. When you buy an Online Pass, though, you’ll be rewarded with all of your accrued credits, which, according to GI, lets you unlock more character gear.
Additionally, “Economy balance makes it possible to unlock all available content and allows you to participate in all event drops across both Explore and Global Events, with credits earned solely in Explore,“ EA told GI.
Online Passes may be the bane for used game buyers, but what EA’s doing with SSX is much better than the alternative: not being able to play multiplayer at all.
