Borderlands (360)

Played for a little under an hour last night. Enough time to track down some voice recorders for a scientist and to fight some battles in the arena. I also found an excellent new sniper rifle, so sold my old one, then noticed the new sniper rifle’s level requirement is way above where I am right now. Bother. Never mind, though, my repeater pistol has a bigger zoom than any sniper rifle I’ve ever seen and can set people on fire, to boot. The recoil’s pretty horrible, though.

Anyway, Borderlands. It’s an FPS structured like an MMORPG, it looks absolutely amazing, has bags of character, enough statistics and upgrades to play with without being overwhelming and is generally all kinds of awesome. I don’t usually get big, full price console games these days, but I’m very glad I traded some stuff in to get this. In fact, the last three big games I got at or near launch – Borderlands, Fuel and Arkham Asylum have all been excellent.

It’s like someone made a game just for me. It’s like World of Warcraft, but without other people. And with a cartoonish, cel-shaded post apocalyptic vibe. And with proper shooting instead of MMO clicky clicky combat.

It’s brilliant. You get shoot things and hit things and there are billions of different guns and it’s all incredibly satisfying and fun and makes time fly by and I love it to bits.

I would write more, but my head is killing me and I still have to write about Pang and pay my water bill.
