    virtualfryngpan's The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned (Xbox 360) review

    The Island that dishes out no less than what's excpected.

    A remarkable DLC to come out of Gearbox for Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, takes you to an Island owned by the Jacobs corporation that has suddenly gone under the influence of a cannibalistic government. Yes that's right Zombies. Now it seems like every game nowadays has to have zombies in it so to say that this DLC is groundbreaking would be incorrect. Although the reason to purchase this little $10 addition to a great game would be for story and it gives that to you 10 fold. Great dialogue, witty remarks, and even a gang of meddling kids that will remind you of childhood cartoons appear to set the mood for zombie apocalypse and it is your job to stop it.  This DLC not only lets you kill zombies, but you also get to face off against killer pumpkins, wereskags, and of course whats a game without some annoying bat type creatures pecking at you while you try to walk around and pick up some of that delicious loot. This offers roughly 12 hours of extra game play, but if your like me then you won't hesitate to visit again and shoot off some more zombie heads.

Zombie Island. It's run b...

      A tragic tale of a good concept going wrong 0

      For a DLC pack that was announced even before the original game was live, it's quite relieving that Zombie Island of Dr. Ned isn't just asset recycling. In a whopping 1GB package, Gearbox delivers a great deal of new artwork, funny writing and really excellent voicework, so at least in that regard, Zombie Island doesn't disappoint. The world and quests are once more filled with silly puns and pop-culture references, which continues the base game's tradition pretty well.  Everything else also doe...
