Last month in games: Borderlands.

It has been a while since I have been able to post. way too little time to game.

But I have had a little time to play and I have had some good experiences along the way.

First off, I have rekindled my love of Borderlands for PS3. I had completed 3 of the 4 DLC before moving on from the game about a year ago. Decided to play Co-op with on of my friends the other day and have realized how good the game is.

It is not without its flaws, but the experience is so different from the norms in the market, it is a welcome change of pace. Initially it seems like an action shooter. The main premise entails being a treasure hunter on Pandora, a seemingly post-apocalyptic world with much more to offer than a single linear storyline.

The story towards the end is relatively anti-climactic (sadly) but the side missions keep the game fresh for much much longer than it would take for a straight run through the basic missions. The DLC adds more of a sense of atmosphere to Pandora, as well as some amazing additions. Secret Armory of General Knoxx is one of the best DLC offerings in recent history.

But as anyone who has heard anything about Borderlands, the main feature of the game is the seemingly endless supply of guns it offers. Playing into the RPG element of the game, the gunplay is upgraded as you go along by how you push forward your character with upgrade points. The guns in the game range from the over-the-top rocket launchers to the run and gun SMG. Each allows you to play differently with each type of gun and the more you use the guns, the better you become at each type, increasing things such as accuracy, reload speed and sometimes capacity sizes. Of course this just scratches the surface of the game, but there is much more where that came from.

Borderlands has the perfect mix of RPG elements and gunplay to put it at the top of my list for a long time. To add to the replay value, after beating the first playthrough, there is the option to go back and start round 2! With all the upgrades and guns you tried so hard to get during the first time. And sometimes it is a lot more fun the second time around!
