Borderlands 2‘s fourth (and final) downloadable expansion will be released on June 25.
Titled “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep,” the add-on will feature a storyline where “Tiny Tina is hosting a Dungeons & Dragons-like tabletop game.” The expansion will be available for $9.99 on PC download services and the PlayStation Store and 800 Microsoft ($10) on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Borderlands 2 Season Pass holders will, of course, be able to download it for free.

The Wii U’s Virtual Console expands by two today as Nintendo has added the NES games Mega Man and Pac-Man to their next-generation gaming time machine. The 3DS Virtual Console also expands today thanks to the addition of Balloon Fight.
Another re-release makes the Wii U eShop a more interesting place today: the free-to-play version of Namco Bandai’s Tank! Tank! Tank! The game was originally released as a disc-based game in November. The new free-to-play version will offer the “base game” as a free download with the remainder of the modes and missions available as ten separate pieces of downloadable content.
If you’d prefer something new from your Wii U shopping experience, Neko Entertainment has published the puzzle platformer Kung Fu Rabbit on the Wii U eShop.
More information on all of these games, and other new releases this week, can be found after the break.

Well, it’s finally official! Anthony Amato and I just picked up the keys to our new place. Now comes the hard part… actually moving! I’m excited to be moved, but not about the actual part where I put stuff in boxes and move it. That is less fun!
No new deals today, people. But hey, there are some really great new t-shirts available! So that’s a win, I would say…

The original Anomaly: Warzone Earth was a crazy fun twist on the ubiquitous tower defense genre, placing you as the creeps fighting against the towers. So it is very exciting to learn that Polish developer 11 Bit Studios is putting the final touches on a sequel, aptly named Anomaly 2, highlighted by what should be its killer feature: creeps versus towers multiplayer. Oh, yeah, you read that right.

When Activision announced Call of Duty: Ghosts yesterday, a Wii U version of the game went unmentioned. As of right now, the November 5 release date only applies to the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game. Officially, the only “next-generation” version of Ghosts that exists is the one that will be revealed during Microsoft’s Xbox 720/Durango presentation on May 21.
But don’t count the Wii U out just yet.
In a statement to Examiner.com, an Activision spokesman said: “We don’t have any news for the Wii U at this time, as we aren’t dating next generation platforms yet. Stay tuned.”
So it looks like the Wii U version has been lumped in with the Xbox 720 and PS4 versions of the game, even though Nintendo’s system is available now. And while leaked boxart (like the Wii U version of Ghosts seen to the right) isn’t a perfect predictor of a game’s existence or non-existence, I think that image (along with Activision’s comments) should give Wii U owners plenty of hope for a Call of Duty: Ghosts release this November.
There’s not too much going on in May, which is good for us here at Warp Zoned, because we are normal gamers with backlogs like everyone else. Resident Evil Revelations seems to be pretty popular, and we’re hoping Fuse doesn’t stink, but other than that, it’s a slow month for new games. Check out what we plan on playing this month here at the WZ.

It’s a beautiful day here in Philadelphia – it finally feels like spring! I might even spend some time outside at some point today, in between working and playing Dungeons & Dragons at Cipher Prime. We’re starting a new campaign, so tonight is character creation. I’m hoping to play a Kenku Chaos Sorceror, but we’ll see!
No new deals today, but I will tell you this: it’s a good time to purchase a console, if you’re in the market for one. Amazon has a lot of Xbox 360 consoles for sale, including the cheapest, the Xbox 360 4GB Console, at $188.62. Their PlayStation 3 selection isn’t so bad either, with the cheapest one, the PS3 250GB Amazon Exclusive Family Entertainment Bundle, coming in at $249.99. Also, have you seen this Animal Crossing 3DS XL? I think I died from cute.
I’ve got some shirts for you today! Including one I caved and bought. I went so long without buying one, too…
