Borderlands 2

The very first teaser for "Borderlands 2" gave us a look at one of the four new playable characters. Yes, Gearbox is ditching the original four heroes in favor of a new cast of zany characters and the first one they're introducing us to is a bearded gentleman named Salvadore. He is a Gunzerker, which should fill in most of the blanks regarding his playstyle, but in case you still have questions, more specifics have just been revealed.

About a week ago, Gearbox revealed that "Borderlands 2" would dispose of the first game's four original vault hunters – they're still in the game as non-playable characters – and replace them with four brand-new characters. In addition, we got our first look at one of the personas you can jump into when the game releases next year, Salvador. Sure, seeing pictures is one thing, but if you were looking forward to seeing some dual-wielding, a new teaser trailer has just arrived.

Check out the Salvador video right after the jump.

I've spent a ridiculous amount of time in the last week playing "Borderlands." As much as I'm ashamed to admit it, the game has sat next to my television collecting dust for a long time. It's not that I didn't like the game, it was just one of those missteps where even popular titles can get lost in the shuffle. So, when word started getting around that a sequel was soon to be announced, I decided to finally vacate the game from my pile of shame. I'm glad that I did, because it's wonderful.

So now that I'm up to speed, and hopefully you are too, we can start getting excited about "Borderlands 2." Considering it was just announced, there's only a few details, but I'll run through some of the more impressive features as noted in this month's Game Informer.

"Borderlands" exemplifies one of those all too rare moments in gaming today where an entirely new property can come out of nowhere and turn into a smash hit. The role-playing shooter ran away with numerous awards after its release, and maintained a strong presence thanks to a considerable amount of downloadable-content packs. Now that the final DLC has since passed, plenty of fans have anxiously awaited the announcement of an obligatory sequel. Well, that day is today.

"Borderlands" has expanded with a relentless stream of DLC this year. Gearbox was supposed to make a new patch/game update available with "Claptrap's New Robot Revolution," though, and it's experienced some delays. It's reportedly still coming, however, and you may be able to reach that fabled level 58 in just a few weeks.

Duke Nukem Forever

News that a "Duke Nukem Forever" demo would be available to "Borderlands" GOTY Edition buyers could have been incredible or depressing, depending on your level of interest in buying (or re-buying) "Borderlands" content. If you already have enough "Borderlands" in your home but really want an early crack at playing "DNF," Gearbox has been thinking of you and clarified that the demo will be accessible to all members of the gaming community.

No, that above shot is not Claptrap reborn in human form ala Bender in that Tales of Interest "Futurama" episode. It's just an angry dude who may or may not be allied with Claptrap and his burgeoning ranks of revolutionary robots. His anger is uncalled for, though, as there are plenty of reasons to rejoice. For example, the next piece of "Borderlands" DLC, "Claptrap's New Robot Revolution," is coming next week, on September 29.
