It was my birthday on Wednesday, and as usual my girlfriend surprised me by buying me an xbox 360 game. She's perfect like that. If I mention something about a game 9 months previous, she'll remember and then when it's released she'll get it for me. (eg Halo 3: ODST, she bough for no occasion other than I dropped some really unsubtle hints
). Now both of us are struggling a little bit at the moment (she's a student currently, and I've just had to take a pay cut to get out of my old job where I wanted to jump in front of a bus) so I wasn't expecting anything. But nope, she pulls out Borderlands.
I nearly collapsed on the floor in glee. I trawl through gametrailers.com fairly often to see the upcoming games and borderlands caught my eye.
I've been playing it for about 6-7 hours now and I must say I'm very impressed. Even my girlfriend commented on how beautiful the graphics are. The gameplay is brilliant. The cel-shading style, I have to say isn't my thing really, however XIII looked hot, and Borderlands looks f'ing amazing.
If you get a chance, and you like free-roaming RPG/FPS then get this game.
I've not tried the multiplayer yet but I'm sure I shall do sometime this weekend.
Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know
