Borderlands 3rd DLC released
Feb 26th
The new Borderlands DLC was released today named The secret Armory of General Knoxx. The new DLC features a higher level cap, more loot, weapons, vehicles, enemies, etc…
Anyone who owns Borderlands should get the DLCs, they are fantastic (even better than the game itself in some cases) and this third one will be no exception with it being their largest DLC yet. Borderlands are showing no sign of slowing down in the DLC area with this being their 3rd released DLC already.

New Steam Beta released
Feb 25th
The new Steam has been released in Beta form today. It presents more information about your games, who in your friends plays them, better management of Achievements, better listing of games, better appearance, etc…
Whilst it is still in the beta stage, Steam are welcoming feedback to ensure it is bug-free for it’s release. It comes as a very welcomed improvement to the Steam system and aims to bring Steam up to the level of their increased users (in the last year, Steam users have doubled).
To start the beta, click here Beware though that it IS a beta and is therefore prone to bugs. I have had to re-download and update various games but it’s worth it for the new features and appearance in my opinion!

Feb 24th
Similar to the Wii controller, Razer have combined with Sixense to create the PC equivalent. Already the SDK is available in Steam tools (that’s what I noticed and googled). Have a look at a sample of Left4Dead 2 with it:
