The third downloadable pack for Borderlands was unofficially announced on January 21, 2010 via the official Gearbox forums, posted by Gearbox level designer Jason Reiss saying the pack will increase the level cap, and is "the biggest DLC we have made". A tweet by Gearbox creative director Mike Neumann on January 21, 2010 said the pack would also include "more Scooter", who is a character in the game. This was followed by an official announcement from Gearbox via Gearboxity on January 29, 2010, confirming the release, level cap increase, brand new weapons, and "brutal, never-before-seen enemies in a huge new environment complete with tons of brand new missions" according to Gearbox, developer of the game. Providing screenshots, and revealing the name of the pack, they are calling it "the largest DLC for Borderlands to date".

Two years after Commander Shepard repelled invading Reapers bent on the destruction of organic life, a mysterious new enemy has emerged. On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced.

To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy's most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, they say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong.

Prepare for a suicide mission to save humanity. Choose between 19 different weapons. Devastating heavy weapons (that) can end a battle in seconds. Recruit a team of the galaxy's most dangerous operatives. Explore the galaxy — scan planets to uncover unique secret missions. Train and equip your team to survive insurmountable odds. Control your conversation with physical moments of intense action

Once this intense and action-packed role-playing game pulls you into its orbit, you won't want to escape.

 

GameSpy 10.0            

Mass Effect 3 better be spectacular, because it's going to be tough for BioWare to top this one.
