Soldiers of the Wasteland

HanbitSoft has announced that it has acquired the publishing rights for Hellgate: London in a number of countries including North America.

Hellgate: London will return to North America after it launches in a few other countries first. Hanbitsoft has said it plans to launch Hellgate in China, Taiwan, and South East Asia, Europe then North America, and finally Japan. The launch may entice old players back to the game with all of the additions made in the Korean version Hellgate: Resurrection.

No firm date has been put in place yet for when Hellgate: London will return to our shores (and PC’s).

Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot is the second DLC available for Borderlands and has just been released for the PC. Mad Moxxi introduces a new cooperative arena game mode as well as a stash to store your gear.

Instead of new areas to explore and quests to complete (which is what was offered The Zombie Island of Dr Ned), Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot includes Riot mode – a new gameplay mode that pits your character or team up against 5 waves of enemies in 3 different arena settings.

The new mode is a change of pace compared to the original game and first DLC, and hands on play testing has shown that you do not receive experience for killing enemies in the arena so this gameplay mode may be better suited for max level characters. There are however new weapons you can find in the arena, so if you feel like taking on the challenge there is a reward at the end of it.

Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot costs $9.99 to purchase and can be downloaded from the Gearbox store or from Steam.
