    And as for the rest, well, I’m still very impressed with the look and feel of the game, as well as the deceptive simplicity in the game mechanics. The jump-in, jump-out aspect of multiplayer mode is great for people who like to play both solo and multiplayer. And while FPS/multiplayer extremists may find the questing a bit grindy (as one confided to me after a few days of playing), there really is a je ne sais quoi about this game that totally rules.

    The Borderlands: Double Game Add-On Pack takes the two initial pieces of downloadable content for Borderlands and puts them on one physical disc. That means both Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot and The Zombie Island of Dr. Read more

    Closing Comments Borderlands is a great game, and if you're like me, you want to play through every bit of available content. Unfortunately, only half of this add-on pack is as enjoyable as the original experience. What makes this disc even more difficult to recommend is that the third add-on for Borderlands, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, is far and away the best piece of content and it isn't included here.

    Borderlands is one of those games with plenty of little things you could complain about. But when you are in the game shooting psycho midgets, collecting a fancy new shotgun that fires rockets and levelling up your character with your buddies; those things do not seem to matter. You are having fun and will barely notice as the hours just fade away (another thing it has in common with WoW). The game looks great. Read more

    Over 500,000 guns. 4 player co op. Role Playing Shooter. Customise Cars. Cars with Guns. Character Classes. Did i say over 500,000 guns? honestly if you LOVED games like fallout 3 and have Xbox Live and up to 3 other friends ( or one friend if u dont have Live splitscreen) then there should be no reason why you shouldnt have it. Oh you dont like the graphics?, eh yea well not everything is perfect. Read more
