My new infatuation

 

borderlands2The gaming bug has bit me hard this fall.  First there was Left 4 Dead 2, and The World of Goo, then COD Modern Warfare 2 and now Borderlands.  All those games have the ability to create time travel – you know,  you sit down and pop open a game for a little R&R and then in a blink of a bleary eye you fall through a black hole or something and you tumble out the other side 7 hours older, hungry and with a bladder that is stretched so thin it’s probably transparent by now.  You know . . .  time travel.

Borderlands is part Fall Out 3, part Diablo 2 and part Quake.  If these names mean nothing to you, I apologize – translated – This game is swell and a lot of fun, and perhaps an excellent Christmas present for that whippersnapper in the family.borderlands_e3_screenshot_6

I recently had the opportunity to experience the multiplayer co-op version of the game when Greg-the-Dominator came by for a visit.  And I can tell you, once we add Katie-the-Devistator to the mix, no Bandit, Skag or Psycho will be left alive.  Even the mighty Skagzilla will be defeated.  I would bet my Jacobs Fearsome Thunder on it!


Comments:
i could not resist and downloaded it. i cant wait to get three players in the game though. single player is not as fun and pretty tough.
 
I made it through a few more missions tonight, I have discovered the power of elemental weapons - I am especially fond of the acid guns.
 
I am getting home as soon as possible to get away from this pesky mac!
 
@Katie: careful we have a crazy Mac fiend in the audience :)

@Fargo: While this looks very tempting I'm trying to get away from the computer a bit, not sure how well this will work out....
 
I trust we will be doing some zombie killing this weekend even though you have your new games?
 
Yes, Chris, I beleeve it is important to maintain balance; Bandits, Russans AND Zombies
