2012's Biggest Games: Aliens: Colonial Marines and Borderlands 2 - Official Xbox Magazine (Print)
Few games are as insanely addictive as 2009 surprise hit Borderlands, which blended first-person combat with a deep role-playing system and enough loot to keep you digging around for months. The new game should up the ante everywhere while retaining the franchise’s tongue-in-cheek humor. In other words, more Claptrap. - Yahoo! Games

2012 Most Anticipated: Borderlands 2 - MediaKick
Gearbox surprised everyone with their fusion of RPG and FPS back in 2009, and are eager to exceed the original Borderlands with a new host of playable characters, a better story, crazier weapons, and even tougher foes. While not much about the improvements is currently known, what we do know is that you can play as a dwarf that can dual wield assault rifles, shotguns, and so on. That is more than enough, especially considering how great the first game was. - Examiner.com
We're super-excited for [Borderlands 2]. - GamingBolt.com
Gearbox's take on the xenomorphic franchise with Aliens: Colonial Marines is promising some old-school, claustrophobic corridor horror. - Games On Net
Gearbox Software hopes to build upon its surprise hit Borderlands from 2009. The team hasn't revealed too much, but players can expect everything that made the original so great, see more wacky weapons, bigger environments, and new characters. - Game Informer

The first Borderlands was one of 2009's surprise hits, mixing a robust experience system with hundreds of thousands of unique weapons and vibrant cel-shaded visuals. Gearbox promises tougher foes and more diverse environments for the sequel. Another reason to get excited? The Gunzerker. - USA Today
We’re so happy that Aliens: Colonial Marines is coming our way in 2012. The game finally provides a proper sequel to the 1986 movie and boy does it look like it’s done a great job of capturing the essence of the film. - The Students' Blog
Notable 2012 Titles: Borderlands 2 - Gamasutra
Borderlands is one of the best online co-op shooters we've ever played, and its integration of dungeon crawling mechanics—looting, for all intents and purposes—kept us coming back long after another game would have lost our interest. Borderlands 2 is set to have more of everything we loved about the first one, and with the right improvements, it could keep us coming back a second time. - Complex
Borderlands 2 will also be [one of the] must-play games in the upcoming year. - CNN
The Aliens series has seen its high and low with video games, but Colonial Marines looks like it's heading for the former end of the spectrum, thanks to Gearbox Software. - IGN
The idea of taking an expansive RPG-style loot system and using it to fill a game with piles of interesting guns was amazing. Along with the cartoonish style of the graphics and striking cover art, it helped set the game apart. The promise of more guns, vehicles, and a dynamic quest system is enough to get us excited about the sequel. - Wired
Reasons to Be Excited About Gaming in 2012: Borderlands 2 - Digital Spy
We're definitely looking forward to a return of Gearbox's manic co-op role-playing shooter. - VideoGamer.com
2012 Gaming Preview: Aliens: Colonial Marines and Borderlands 2 - The Globe and Mail
Borderlands 2 promises to be even bigger than the last game, and we can't wait to kill some aliens and mercenaries. - IGN
The concept of "more Borderlands" is powerful enough on its own. I don't need a better story or more varied environments, but I'm glad the sequel is including them. I don't tend to play games for the power fantasy, but Borderlands was the exception for me. I transformed from a lowly treasure hunter who would run from the smallest skags to a remorseless, unstoppable killing machine. I'm looking forward to that transformation again. - Shacknews
