After Borderlands blew us away with its release, we haven't been able to get enough of it. Additional content to extend the experience is a wonderful thing, but now we're ready to experience Borderlands at all times. In the car, in your office, at school - wherever, you'll now have the soundtrack to Borderlands available just in time for the holidays.
"The soundtrack features a number of tunes from various composers including Jesper Kyd, Sascha Dikiciyan, Cris Velasco and Raison Varner, Tim Larkin. Unfortunately, the catchy song "Aint No Rest For The Wicked," which was featured in the game's trailer and TV commercials, is not included."

And so after a lot of teasing, we finally get the official announcement. Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days is under development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC and set to release next year from developer IO Interactive.
The game follows our "heroes" Kane and Lynch through the gritty Shanghai underworld. Dog Days is said to be inspired by documentary film makers and the user generated era in terms of style. Perhaps that is why we've seen some interesting perspectives in the teaser videos up to this point. In fact we've got a new one today called "Bowling for Shanghai" posted below. We're promised a fresh perspective on intensity and realism.
No other details of the game were given but Niels Jorgenson, IO Interactive's general manager, has stated that feedback from the first game helped shape the sequel. Lets hope they listened to us when we asked for online co-op play.
What may be lost amongst a solid fall season of games is the family friendly title LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure continues. Out now for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and PC - the game supports two player local cooperative play through the whole adventure with drop-in and drop-out play.
The truly unique thing about the title is a cooperative level builder mode much like Little Big Planet provides, except with LEGOs! Just don't make anything with snakes in it, even LEGO Indy hates snakes!

While Xbox 360 owners got their Facebook implementation yesterday, PlayStation 3 owners should get their update today. The Xbox 360 version of Facebook is used as a way to browse your friends, find gamertags, look at photos, and interact with the system. Sony took a slightly different route.
Since the PS3 has a web browser, it was kind of silly to include a Facebook app. Instead, the PS3 is going to allow users to publish trophy info, PlayStation Store purchases, and eventually unique in game information once the developers get their hands on a new API. Also in this update is a revamped friends list (no more ugly boxes), and an updated photo browser that looks really slick.
Co-Op gamers should be familiar with Mr Albert Wesker as he was the main villain in Resident Evil 5. After conquering him in the game you could unlock him as a playable character in Mercenaries mode, and for us, he was a favorite.
So there's good news for those of you looking forward to Lost Planet 2 and its four player co-op mode - Wesker is an exclusive pre-order bonus to Gamestop. Well it's good news if you like Gamestop, and thankfully it's only a skin. That's ok right? Not exactly.

Sometimes it sucks being right, but it looks like that was the case when we posted about the possibility of online co-op play being in Sony's upcoming game God of War III. The source was an official Sony retail training program, which contained a quiz for the game. In the quiz we were asked - "Will God of War III have Online Cooperative Modes?"
The correct answers was yes, but it seems - as we correctly predicted - someone put in the wrong information on the training site. IGN got a quote from Sony on the rumor:

Many American PS3/PSP owners know that Japanese PS3/PSP owners enjoy a few more luxuries than we do stateside. An expanded PlayStation Store, games released months (sometimes years) before the American version, and the ability to play ad hoc only co-op titles (such as Monster Hunter Freedom Unite) over the Internet are just a few of the perks they enjoy. "What?!" you say, "They have the technology to make ad hoc gaming reach further than two feet from my couch?!" Apparently they do, and it will be arriving here very soon.
The Sony Playstation blog announced Friday that adhocParty, an online service that allows the PSP to expand its ad hoc coverage from immediate vicinity to the entire world via the PS3/PSP system link, is headed for our shores. In addition to an increased ability to connect remotely with friends, adhocParty also brings with it the ability to use a bluetooth headset or the PlayStation Eye for voice chat. Good news for all those PSP owners out there that were unable to play some fine co-op titles with their friends that were further away than next door... assuming those PSP owners also own a PS3, that is.

With The God of War Collection hitting the PlayStation 3 this week with remastered graphics and trophy support, it appears rumors have resurfaced that God of War III will contain an online cooperative mode.
We followed up on the source of the rumor, a Sony Online Retail Loyalty training site. In fact, anyone can log into the site with their PSN ID to train, though you'll need a valid paystub from an authorized retailer to actually benefit from it.

Co-op moves are back in Army of Two: The 40th Day, and this video shows them all. From co-op tag and snipe to riot shield to mock surrender, your favorite buddy tactics from the first game can now be performed anytime, any place.
When you're done watching the video - which we've embedded here for your viewing convenience - check out the official blog for a recap of the recent multiplayer preview blowout, including the Extraction four-player survival mode.
Finally, treat yourself to a new wallpaper while you're there.
Remember when Borderlands was sent out to die? Yeah...didn't happen. The game sold an impressive 400k copies in October on the Xbox 360 alone placing it third on the sales chart behind Wii Fit Plus and Uncharted 2. These sales numbers come from the monthly NPD stats, which report sales numbers for North America.
Halo 3: ODST took the number 6 spot, selling an additional 271k, bringing the two month total for North America close to 2 million.
