Xbox 360 owners looking for a new game to pick-up should look no further than Borderlands. This game is a creative blend of FPS, RPG and is artfully designed using cell shading. While the game is heavily advertised as an original RPS the idea is not altogether new. Anyone having played Planetside, or Fallout 3 will find themselves in familiar territory playing Borderlands. Furthermore anyone that may have picked up Phantasy Star Online (which was in 3rd person) for the Dreamcast will find this game immediately engrossing and enjoyable.

Anyways, I can go into further details about how the game operates, but I'd rather just give it my thumbs up. If you happen to find yourself playing this game on XBOX live then hit me up, my Live handle is DaddyDudeman, and you'll usually find me on in the evening (EST.)

I'd also like to know if anyone else has picked up Batman Arkham Asylum and what you think of the game?

My Brother has received Batman Arkham Asylum and he says it is a very good game. Weather it is it's story or ass my brother says "Dude it's awesome.... I'M THE GOD DAMN BATMAN", I simply found his reaction halirous.

Wait, Borderlands is an RPG?

What the hell?

Edit:

Also: Batman:AA is pretty fantastic. It's like playing through the comic/original animated series. It puts on a serious face but it's Batman, take a grain of salt with everything in the game. It gets a bit repetitive, particularly during boss fights, but if you can bear through the minor annoyances it's a good game. Well polished, well designed, and entertaining.

Yea Borderlands has some RPG elements. You get exp/talent points, complete quests, and can pick a class. My only complaint is that you can power level to 50 very easily (which is max level), but the game is very challenging solo.


I also am really enjoying Batman as well. The game is incredibly difficult on hard though, so much so that progress has slowed to a crawl. That being said I don't really mind a challenge.

Borderlands is one of those games on my very long list that I actually need to buy (Along with Arkham Asylum strangely..)

It first piqued my interest over at GiantBomb and thought it'd be an interesting blend of elements, although not neccisarily as origional as they may have us think. I have played it but alas, do not own it.

Initially I thought it would be somewhat akin to Left 4 Dead in its solo play (You play one player, 3 bots controlling the others) but it turned out that playing solo is just that. You, by yourself with no bots. I was disapointed as a game that boasted its RPG elements became more and more just like an FPS with some RPG bits tacked on for teh fanbois. Luckily the games talent trees and sheer amount of weapons help it along back towards the RPG genre, if barely over the line.

I never played through the multiplayer, mostly because I hate playing multiplayer games on XBox Live (the devil of playing games online now only £9.99 a month!) and mostly because I hate playing with others.

I eat babies. Also, read my fanfics.

So...do you have any interest in necrophilia?

If I had a 360 I'd deffinetly get this game, mostly because it looks like Deadlands and I have craving for that game that it seems nothing can satisfy.
THIS is my side, THIS is the demiltarized zone, and THAT is your side.

"Good and Evil" is too complicated. I prefer, "Us and Them".

Funny you should mention PSO (I actually STILL get together and play the Ep. 1 & 2 version for Gamecube with friends on the weekend). Since I'm a huge fan of the Phantasy Star series...if someone mentions it specifically I'm obviously interested lol. I thought I saw mention of Borderlands for PS3?

Ok, you caught me. I'm actually Xantar. I hacked Dragon's account because he's being an ass.

Dragon: You don't have the respect for me because you are entered the forum into a contest where it is impossible for one to survive unless they are the one survivor. You speak as if setting up a situation in which to make my fail by stating that I cannot live. Therefor my logic proves that over yours and you are making a direct threat on my physical life.
Xantar: I think you mean
Xantar: "You made me accidentally the whole fleshlight!"
Dragon: .....
Dragon: Sometimes I just love you.
