    5 Games You Should Play This Weekend

    Borderlands 2, Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty

    If you are still playing Borderlands 2, or if you've put it down in favor of a new game during this busy season, there's a reason to play more. Gearbox released the first of four downloadable chapters for Borderlands 2 this week, and it is more than just a simple add-on. Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty is an adventure that will take quite a few hours of time with single-player or coop mode. It's a completely different setting than the rest of the main world of Borderlands 2, and has all the humor we've seen in the game's sidequests. This chapter is available for $10 by itself, or as part of the Borderlands 2 season pass, which gives the player all four upcoming DLC chapters for $30. It, like Borderlands 2, is available for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
