'The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned' gets its own site photo

November 24? Why, that's next week!

In the rush of recent releases, I had almost forgotten about my beloved Borderlands and its premier downloadable content pack, "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned." From what I can tell, it'll be an awful lot like Zombi 2, minus the zombie-on-shark action and nudity. Boo!

But who knows, maybe they've hidden the old insert-glass-shard-into-eye scene as an easter egg?

Gearbox has devised a dedicated site for the add-on, complete with all the back-story you'll ever need, some new screenshots, and a tease for an upcoming trailer. I'll bet you anything the video goes live on Monday, just in the nick of time.

Worst case scenario, you ought to go visit the site for the sinister tune that plays. It's kinda catchy.

No zombie-on-shark action? That is frankly very disappointing.

Does this picture remind anyone else a lot of one of the Resident Evil 4 areas? It had a graveyard in front of a church-like mansion and everything.

Regardless, I still haven't beaten Borderlands and I'm really looking forward to some silly zombie action. Probably gonna buy this sometime, if not day of release.

I wonder if this scales in any way, because from the trailer I saw a last week or so it looked like the enemies would be vastly underpowered compared to my lvl 50 Hunter.

Even though there's no increase on the level cap, I suppose I could just start a new character in order to better enjoy the DLC.

Eh, it'll be fun regardless.

Only just started playthrough 2 with my Siren, so this is pretty well timed. Borderlands is such a fun game.

Yeah, it scales as far as I know.

So, does this include the PC version of it or do we get to keep twiddling our thumbs?

I love Borderlands. Can't wait for another reason to go back to the game.

I've had a blast with Borderlands. Currently playing 3 coop storylines with different characters. This DLC looks insanely awesome though. Hopefully there's more in the works too.

Wasn't it actually a wooden splinter from the door though?
