Both Colonial Marines and Borderlands use modified versions of Unreal Engine 3.
So unless the games are intentionally hindered any current card above £90 should be fine.

Maybe it's intentionally "anti-nerfed" with PhysX code written by Nvidia engineers to make it go really, REALLY fast for the cameras? Just saying...

Good point. However,the UT3 engine has been out for a while, and even the latest Deus Ex at 1920X1200 and 1920X1080 is running at above 40FPS on a GTX460 1GB or HD6850 1GB:

Even an HD5770 1GB or HD6770 1GB runs the game at around 40FPS.
Both the UT3 games mentioned like the latest Deus Ex are multi-platform titles too and will probably scale well with a range of graphics cards. I imagine if Borderlands 2 needs much faster GPUs than the first game, which is based on the same engine, it might not do so well. For games like BF3 it might be more understandable though.

I really hope Aliens isn't 'optimized' for Nvidia cards.. Just regular 'normal' physx etc..

I just hope Borderlands 2 is not crippled. It has no real need to be,as it is a cell shaded game. If Deus Ex:Human Revolution can run on a GTX560 or HD6870 fine at 1920X1080 under DX11,and Borderlands 2 runs significantly worse something fishy is going on.

LoL 2k3 was rubbish on every level.
There there little fella don't be sad, we can discuss anything you'd like to bring to the table.
Checked out a review of Rage last night looks awesome but seems to be let down by a weak multiplayer.
Deffo looks more like my sort of game visually / weapon-wise & yeah Doom should make for some great death match action!

Really, we've been told early march for our sample? Then again our timescales may be different as we are solely reviewing GPU rendering
so what graphics card nda gets lifted today then?
