2K Games just announced the lineup of titles it's bringing to PAX East in April, and two former Game Informer cover games will be at the show.

Most notable will be the playable co-op demo of Gearbox's Borderlands 2. You'll be able to play with another gamer as characters Salvador Gunzerker or Maya the Siren. The level on display is called "Caustic Caverns." You'll also get a free Borderlands 2 Vault-themed baseball t-shirt for playing. Not a bad deal.

Firaxis' XCOM: Enemy Unknown won't be playable, but a few of the developers will be showing off a live demo of the game. Other 2K Games on display at PAX are a playable Spec Ops: The Line and a demo presentation of Civilization V: Gods & Kings.

2K has three booths at the show: #936, #924, #1036. PAX East takes place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts. The convention will run April 6 through April 8.
