Borderlands: Zombie Island of Dr Ned DLC Now Available

Post by Steve Farrelly @ 03:36pm 24/11/09 | 16 Comments

Borderlands fans can already enjoy the game's first round of DLC (downloadable content), which introduces an entirely new area, new enemies, new weapons and more.

The Zombie Island of Dr Ned really needs to explanation; it's full of all the creepiness you'd expect with the stunning art style of Borderlands coupled with plenty of gore and the series' tongue-in-cheek narrative and story-telling. It also just happens to be available for all current supported platforms (November 24 - presumably U.S. time), so make sure you get into it.

Oh, and here's a trailer.

Not seeing it on steam. Or do you have to buy it?

One of the downsides to Steam. Unless it's a heavily integrated Steamworks game where the only version of it is the Steam version, it generally takes extra time before it's available on Steam.

No mention from Gearbox 2Kgames ... may mean no DLC for the PC Version

Better get it at that price before the publisher finds out and jacks it up to $40 AU

I think the Fallout 3 expansions have become a benchmark for me with regards to what I'm willing to pay for when it comes to DLC. The first one in Alaska was a bit lame, but the otheres were pretty significant chunks of content, and I got quite a few hours out of them and they added quite a bit to the game. I was happy to shell out a few dollars for the Fallout 3 stuff, anything less than that, and I'd be starting to feel ripped off.

The GTA4 stuff looked pretty sweet too, though I haven't bought any of it yet.

Yeah same, not sure why they're releasing DLC already when there's still bugs to be fixed.

Once you finish the game on 2nd playthrough and pimped your guy out in oranges (which isnt hard) you realise how shallow the game is. You then further realise how s*** it is if you dont have 3 others to play with. Itll be hard to justify paying any amount for the DLC.

Just feeling lucky i didnt end up paying $50++ for it. That would of sucked.

I paid for it, and am still enjoying it. I bought doom3, and q3a and got far less enjoyment.
Any game is shallow.

It's whether or not it is a good return for the $$$s in terms of fun.

Yeah, I haven't played Borderlands for a while, purely because of this. I find playing it alone pretty dull. But I found it to be a hell of a lot of fun when playing with a bunch of people.

Anyone want to tell me where to find the add-on on the PS3 Network? We're not having much luck here. Oh, and i'm in AU.

Thanks!
