When it comes to shooters, no game delivers as unique a look and as many weapons as Gearbox Studios’ Borderlands 2. 2K Games is readying the sequel for release later this year. The original game showcased a very different look for an Unreal Engine 3 shooter. And this follow-up continues to push the visuals, while adding more customization for gamers to use when building weapons. Gearbox Studios’ Wes Parker talks about the new game in the exclusive video interview below.

We've seen countless video games based on the Aliens franchise over the years, both for arcade and for home, and while they may have been exciting, they're hardly the sort of thing that we'd call in-depth.  In fact, the closest we could come to feeling like we were in a true Aliens experience comes down to two games -- the 1990 Konami arcade game and last year's Nintendo DS release Aliens: Infestation.  But that'll change this fall when Gearbox, the studio behind Borderlands, will team up with Sega for Aliens: Colonial Marines, a game that really dials in the feeling of the 1986 James Cameron cinematic classic.

Duke Nukem Forever may not have been a hit with all the critics (one even went as far as to rate it a 0 out of 10...wow, really?), but the fact of the matter is, it was still a success with 2K Games, and no doubt that the Duke will return for a sequel somewhere down the road.  In the meantime, Gearbox is packing this game's release with plenty of DLC, and this Tuesday it'll have a whole new batch for dedicated Duke dudes and dudettes to play around with.
