GRID 2 launched to critical acclaim earlier this year for its successful mixing of arcade and simulator styles. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, on the other hand, is more of a kart racer, complete with power ups but the ever-shifting tracks means your badass kart can also transform into a plane or boat.

You can hop into Borderlands 2 for free later this month on PS3, and this game absolutely shines with co-op, so be sure to bring some buddies along with you while you blast away all the skags on Pandora. You can build out your vault hunter how you like – focus on damage or get some support skills to aid yourself & your friends.

Finally, Vita owners can scrape their knees up a bit with Urban Trial Freestyle. Successfully complete the tricks, customize your bike and then challenge your friends with the asynchronous Ghost mode.

The second Headhunter DLC pack for Borderlands 2 drops in November and is a warbled mess to say out loud: "Headhunter 2: Wattle Gobbler." The launch window popped up in Take-Two Interactive's financials for Q2 2014.

The Headhunter DLC series kicked off this month with TK Baha's Bloody Harvest, which we ran through - screaming (with laughter) - in a live stream last week. The Headhunter trials are self-contained missions each with a unique boss whose head you get to keep and wear once he's slain. TK Baha's Bloody Harvest costs $3 and went live on Steam, Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 22.

With a name like Wattle Gobbler, we're hoping the second Headhunter pack has something to do with giant, mutant turkeys and guns that shoot carving knives.

As part of its second-quarter financial results issued today, Take-Two revealed that Gearbox's Borderlands 2 has shipped over 7.5 million copies to retailers.

"Borderlands 2 has sold-in over 7.5 million units and counting, and is on track to becoming the highest-selling title in 2K's history," Take-Two president Karl Slatoff said.

Retailers had stocked over 6 million units of Borderlands 2 as of February, with sales spurred by the frequent release of downloadable content and the recent launch of a DLC-bundled Game of the Year Edition.

Borderlands 2's "headhunter" series begins with a trip to hollow out a Pumpkin Kingpin's head for your Vault Hunter to wear. The downloadable content with the Thanksgiving mouthful of a name, "Headhunter 1: TK Baha's Bloody Harvest," will be available on Steam, Mac, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 22.

Each headhunter installment will culminate with Vault Hunters fighting a "rather unique" boss and then taking their head to wear. It's far less creepy than that Hannibal Lecter image you've got in your head. This first installment concludes with a trip to the Pumpkin Kingpin's pumpkin patch to claim his orange melon. Are pumpkins melons? Too early to Wiki it.

The DLC is priced at $2.99 and can be completed "in a single sitting," according to 2K Games. In keeping with the spirit of Halloween, there will also be pieces of candy from enemy drops that provide temporary buffs. Oooo, piece of candy. Ooo, piece of candy...

Hi everyone, this is Chris Faylor, Community Manager at Borderlands 2 maker Gearbox Software. This Tuesday, October 8th marks the launch of Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition, which is going to pack a ton of content (over $100 worth) for $59.99.

It’s amazing for us at Gearbox to see so many people enjoying the game — after all, it’s your passion that drives us to keep creating new content — and we’re excited that this edition comes packed with all of the season pass content, and more!

This bundle is a great starting point for those that may have missed out on Borderlands 2 the first time around, and it’s the perfect holiday gift for your future co-op partners!

Here’s a look at everything that’s in Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition:

  • The award-winning Borderlands 2 main game
  • Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty Campaign Add-On
  • Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage Campaign Add-On

10077099204_cd600a463e_n.jpg10077231273_edfea06212_n.jpg

In partnership with the folks here at PlayStation, Turtle Beach, NVIDIA, and BradyGames, 2K and Gearbox will be giving away tons of weekly prizes — including a grand prize of $50,000 in cold hard cash.

We’ll also have four weekly cash prizes (worth a combined $50,000), along with incredible loot like PlayStation Vitas, and copies of Borderlands 2 Vita when it’s released. Check out the official website for a full list of prizes.

And of course, in addition to all that, you’ll also be able to get unique and legendary drops just by completing in-game objectives! And don’t be surprised if during the course of all this some of the bajillion weapons on Pandora suddenly become even more powerful.

For those of you without internet access or the ability to play Borderlands 2, U.S. residents can enter the sweepstakes by mailing a postcard to the following address:

Borderlands 2's second level-cap increase will take place on Tuesday, September 3, when the game's new Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2: Digistruct Peak Challenge DLC pack becomes available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac for $4.99. Unlike the first Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack, Digistruct Peak Challenge is not included in the game's DLC Season Pass.

In addition to raising the level cap by 11 (to a maximum of 72 when stacked with the first Ultimate Vault Hunter Pack), Digistruct Peak Challenge also includes new weapons, new character customization options and a new map/mission, Raid on Digistruct Peak. Owning both Ultimate Vault Hunter Packs unlocks even more stuff, such as more weapons, "Legendary Class Mods" and tougher enemies that drop better loot.
