    Welcome to the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned!

    http://pc.ign.com/articles/104/1044481p1.html

    Looks like a good litle bit of content with them saying that there is at least 6-10 more hours of gameplay, 50 missions, 5 new dungeons, new bosses, and a new enemy type (because Skags really are getting old) called zombies. They seem pretty sweet for a several reasons:

    ~there are a bunch of variations (L4D style, anybody? There's even big tough ones called "Tank-ensteins." Sound familiar??)

    ~They apparently don't carry guns but will appear in giant swarms to overtake players, which will require a somewhat different approach to playing.

    ~Even if you shoot off some their limbs, they still come at you. HA!

    The only bad part that I could draw from the article is that there is no scheduled date for a PC release of the DLC (X360 and PS3 have release dates of Nov 24), but I'd really like to think that it is in the works, and perhaps as a free patch :D

    No PC date is really beat. The game didn't have nearly as much replay value as I had hoped. Still holding hope that they will release an SDK so we can get some user made content in.

    Yeah, this looks good, Borderlands is great fun.

    But... I think its hilarious and sad that Gearbox can give an ETA on the new DLC before they mention anything about a patch for the PC version. :(

    A shame because I really love this game.

    I would be happy if it was free but pretty sure I saw a price tag of about $10 to get this DLC, and thats almost 1/3 of what I paid for the game.

    6-10 hrs of gameplay is a lot for DLC. Considering some people cleared the whole game in one day.
