The week that most gamers have been waiting for has finally arrived, as console and PC gamers finally get their hands on one of the year’s biggest games – Borderlands 2.

Gearbox’s anticipated sequel is not the only headliner this week, as Torchlight II shows its face after RPG fanatics fell in love with the original over two years ago.

The highly-anticipated Borderlands 2 is dropping this week, and gamers should expect to have minimal productivity when it launches.

The four-player loot-fest sequel features all-new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons and equipment, which come together in an ambitiously crafted story. Players will reveal secrets, and escalate mysteries of the Borderlands universe as they adventure across the unexplored new areas of Pandora.

Dungeon-crawling enthusiasts will have their plates full this week, as Torchlight II hits PC.

Runic Games’ Torchlight was always destined to be compared to Diablo, and was often seen as a rip-off; but when Torchlight released in 2010, it became an instant cult-classic and even preferable to the Diablo series in some cases.

Torchlight II is set to bring a satisfying dungeon crawling experience with more monsters to kill, more sweet loot to collect, larger maps to explore, and a revamped skill system.
