The 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.
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!
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.
@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
