From the PlanetXbox360.com feature review:
"Set in a Madmax-like, furturistic world, Borderlands is attempting to merge the line between first person shooter and RPG (and actually does it quite successfully). Borderlands has taken standard features from RPG games (think Fallout 3), like leveling up, collecting items, and completing quests - and mixed it with a fast paced first-person shooter experience. There are 160+ quests, with around 30 of them essential to the story; and the game has been designed to make you want to complete them all. You will also be able to repeat side quests to gain more valuable skill points if leveling-up (grinding) is needed. The action takes place on Pandora, a planet on the edge of the galaxy said to hold massive quantities of mineral resources; but as the colonists find out, there is little of anything to go around. Anyone with money leaves the planet, but those who are left, struggle to survive in a world that has devolved into anarchy. Several years into colonization, a change in season occurs, bringing with it, the awakening of all manner of horrific creatures."
This sounds awesome. This afternoon, Genvid Entertainment announced two, all-new interactive streaming series at San Diego-Comic Con: DC Heroes United and Borderlands EchoVision Live.
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
TheGamer Writes "I don't think my most controversial video game take should be that controversial, but it is. I'm a video game journalist, so you know I have some bad takes in this broken down serotonin factory I call a brain, but here's one opinion that receives universal pushback: I don't like video game music."
Put 30+ hours into this game, loved it (sometimes hated it) but overall it is definitely worth this score - nice review!
I'm curious why this game doesn't seem to be getting much buzz on the ol internets? Are people not excited about it because of how busy November is with new games, not appealing? What is it?
I think its getting over looked thanks to Modern Warfare 2, Forza3 and Brutal Legend. Mainly MW2 tho.
Its definately top of my list and a few others i know are getting it at midnight tonight.
With such a wide variety of enemies, weapons and landscapes, i just dont know how people couldnt like it!
I think you missed uncharted 2 on that list and this really good game just getting realsed at the wrong time they should of put out feb dont think theres any big games then i have put 11 hours in the game hope i can complete before i get uncharted 2 at the end the month cus with online dont think playing any games for months
if i could get this game for $40 i would get it, but i cant, so screw it, and canada
