Borderlands on XBox 360
 

I rarely play games but I just "downgraded" the DVD firmware on one of my 360's and started playing Borderlands. It's really not that bad. I'm getting a little tired of the "hit X to pick up $$$" thing but the rest of it isn't shitty. If you guys want to kill a couple of weeks sitting in front of the TV/Monitor this could be for you...

I have been playing it on the pc for a little, I can get into it for like a hour long burst or so. Not bad, but not amazing either.

Nobody really makes any good, play for 12 hours straight, kind of games. Looks like one I might give a chance. Only games in the next 6 months I have to have are Assassins Creed 2 (already out) and FFXIII, haven't missed one since 7, so why stop now.

I played COD MW2 for a solid 6 hrs the other day haha. Same with fallout 3 when it came out.

FWIW, I solve the game the other day (took about 10 days to do it) and I'm now doing it again. You get to start over but keep your same weapons and $$$/exp. The monsters and stuff are a lot harder the second time around. I'm not sure I will play all the way through but it was fun enough to keep on playing.

For me, a rapid fire pistol (with a chance to catch the enemy on fire) with a scope was the best weapon to use. I'm not sure where I got the gun from but it definitely made the difference between winning and dying in battle with the big guys. I didn't start using that pistol until the last 5% of the game but I am glad I did. Kind of just stumbled onto the fact that it kicked ass...

Gear box software is dallas local, they kick so ass

Border world on the way

Gearbox files trademark for familiar-sounding 'Borderworlds'

My wife and I played through and beat Borderlands. Fun game. There's now some DLC for it that you get to go to Dr. Ned's zombie Island. Supposed to be about another 10+ hours of play for about 12 bucks.
Assasains Creed 2 was a badass game. I hated the first one but this one is just amazing. The ending was really good too.
Oh if anyone has a Wii check out the new Super Mario Bros, Wii. If you played the Mario Bros' back on NES you'll love this new one.
