Remember when Borderlands was sent out to die? Yeah...didn't happen. The game sold an impressive 400k copies in October on the Xbox 360 alone placing it third on the sales chart behind Wii Fit Plus and Uncharted 2. These sales numbers come from the monthly NPD stats, which report sales numbers for North America.

We've all been so busy actually PLAYING the myriad of releases this Fall, including some awesome co-op ones, that we didn't have time to write about all the other games out there. We've combined our Beyond Co-Op reviews for October and November into a mega issue.

There's good news for those that wanted more; a new island will be available for download after November 24th.

IGN has stated that there are about "50 quests, and 5 new dungeons" on this new island, with a plethora of zombies accidentally created by a wacky Dr. Ned.
You've heard the tales, and you've been given a chance to play a twisted fighting fairy tale version of the classics. We've tried out the co-op in Fairytale Fights to ask Mirror, Mirror if this game is the fairest of them all, or deserves to be ground into bone-crunchy Giants bread.
