    Entertaining story and Atmosphere

    I thoroughly enjoyed Borderlands, however, I did not enjoy the story. I did come to peace that this game just isn't about the story. I have no experience with Diablo or WoW, the this type of quest based game and loot driven exploration was new to me. This game has enough fun factor packed into it that allows gamers to still become glued to the screen while playing Borderlands. I still had the desire to always want to be playing Borderlands and I couldn't help, but take on another quest because of the awesome way they integrated RPG elements into the game. The DLC content does not shift away from those qualities that made me enjoy the game itself. The improvement in storytelling and new enemies to blow away, just brought another enjoyable element to the game. I played my lvl 50 soldier through the DLC and it was not challenging at all. That was a bummer and the loot in the game terrible. I think I picked up maybe 5 weapons through the entire play through. Despite the small negatives this game was definitely worth the price of admission and it left me hungry for more DLC and I hope they address the issues that others have mentioned that are lacking in this expansion. Go buy the damn DLC and enjoy the fucking thing.......

         The Zombie Island of Dr Ned gives you around 5-6 hours of more Borderlands, but only the lesser parts.       Dude, when did Zoey dye her hair?The new enviroment and laugh worthy characters and dialogue is what you should be expecting to have this stand out from the original Borderlands. Set after the original's story, the games own Narrator Marcus Kinkaid tells the story of the evil Dr Ned and how he is so not Dr Zed in disguise, in the essence of a bedtime story.  Right from the start you're...
