If you have liked all the downloadable content that's been released for Borderlands so far, this news will make you happy. During publisher Take Two Interactive's conference call with investors today following their latest financial news results, the company's CEO Ben Feder stated, "We will continue to support the title with more add-on content."

Developer Gearbox Software has released three mini-expansions for the first person shooter so far (The Zombie Island of Dr Ned, Mad Moxxi's Underdown Riot and The Secret Armory of General Knoxx) at a cost of $9.99 each. Specifics about the future DLC for the game has not yet been revealed.

Zombies. The undead. The Walking Dead. Whatever you call them they are still super hot in pop culture. Today 2K Games announced that the upcoming FPS-RPG hybrid game Borderlands from developer Gearbox Software will explore that them in the first of several planned downloadable expansions to the game.

The expansion is called The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and it will be released sometime later this year for $9.99. The plot is all about . . . oh come oh, you don't really care about the plot do you? You just care if there's going to be zombies to shoot at. Well look above this post. Zombie-fied enough for you? We thought so. Oh, look for some rare loot items as well.

Oh all right if you insist. Here's the plot summary: "Tasked with keeping the workers of Jakobs Cove alive, Dr. Ned (who is not related to Dr. Zed from Fyrestone) does his job a little too well, creating zombies and other abominations that now run rampant in this region. Players will have to work alongside Dr. Ned as they embark on a quest to cure the inhabitants of Jakobs Cove . . ." Happy?
