Yep, you know what that means right? Borderlands 2 is available on the PSN day and date with the retail boxed version. Do I even have to tell you any of the other stuff that posted?
Probably not, since there’s little doubt that Borderlands 2 is the headliner this week for pretty much everybody. The RPG/shooter was a breakout hit the first time around and Gearbox’ sequel is looking like it might be an even bigger smash.
However, there is other stuff posting this week. Good stuff- no really! There’s a big expansion to the North American PSOne Classics shop on the Vita, the RE6 demo, and Jet Set Radio makes it’s triumphant return. Got your attention with that last one didn’t I?
No? Okay then- back to the blasting/looting…
