Borderlands (Xbox 360)

Borderlands While some say that taking more than your pockets can carry is a sin, you'll have no fear of picking up every weapon, job and money you can from Gearbox's new first-person shooter/Role-playing hybrid Borderlands. While most of the other first-person shooters have been running scared into 2010 in fears of a certain Call of Duty game crushing their sales, Borderlands brings some balls, millions of weapons, a comic-book visual style and frantic four player co-op. Does it come close to crushing the competition or does it shoot itself in the foot. Borderlands gets you interested from the get-go as you see a poor alien creature being run over ...  Read the complete review

This is an insane first-person shooter with some crazy and addictive fun. Plus it has some cool role-playing game elements added to it. This game can be also played in co-op mode that lets up to 4 people join and do to the story-line together. Your mission is to find the legendary alien technology. When you start the game you will be to choose from 4 different mercenaries, which all have different skill trees. As you progress you can get access to new skills and abilities. In my opinion the skill trees are not that important and might be a bit lacking. Though they affect the way you fight. Still there is a major feeling ...  Read the complete review

Advantages: Lots of weapons, co-op, graphics, vehicle combat, Fps and Rpg. Disadvantages: Skill trees could be better. This is mix of FPS (First Person Shooter) and RPG (Role Playing Game). The game makes use of an excellent new sysmte where all weapons and enimeies in game are randomly created. Also the game has some the best multiplayer yet.

Every time you kill a creature with a weapon you get Xp (Exceperience) and this allows you to level up your skill with that weapon. When you start the game you chose from 4 ...  Read the complete review

Borderlands is a first person role playing shooter built on the unreal 3 Engine with many unique elements that make it stand out from the crowd such as four player online co-op and the offer of millions of random guns. Graphics: The graphics in Borderlands are simply great. The reason I say this is due to the fact that the game uses different a different scheme of graphics compared to the dark and gloomy brown and grey colours of almost every game nowadays (Its nice to see colours for once). This gives the game a refreshing look that makes it stand out from the crowd, and although unrealistic, still deeply immerses you into the game. Story: I would ...  Read the complete review

This game is intended to be a combination of RPG and FPS. It levels and has perks, but also has many of the controls and feels of a first person shooter. There are 4 classes: tank, mage, sniper and soldier, and each are well balanced and work well together. The main way of palying is in 4 player co-op, which you can join or host at any time. This has had teething troubles, but once settings are corrected it runs perfectly smoothly. The game is graphically very appealing, and the cartoony edge suits the laid back, just for fun game play style. The influences from world of warcraft are apparent in the levelled foes etc, but have been given thier own ...  Read the complete review
