    It All Depends, Really

    For the part of me that loves the progression, loot, quest, and story of the game. There is another side of me that just wanted to straight up kill stuff. This is especially coming from someone who barreled through the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned uncountable times, and spacifically finished Brrrraaaaiiiinnnnsss! twice to completion, due to a glitch which also bugged out my character file. This is important to note if only to illustrate how much of Moxxi's Underdome was wanted. 
     
    Things I liked: The bank, No-nonsense straight-up murder without traveling, rules by which the waves are governed, increased difficulty based on every fifth round, a tough challenge for people playing unmodded. 
     
    Things I disliked: Slow transition between waves/rounds make the sessions last far too long, and this issue becomes straight-up unbearable when doing the 20 round stints. 
     
    Basically, if you want something to change it up from what Dr. Ned's Zombie Island was, or a challenge for friends.. this just might fill that need for a little bit. However, I am hoping that Gearbox does some alterations for this DLC after the fact, so that it becomes more about what they meant Underdome Riot to be originally.

If you haven't heard it before, it's worth saying again. This DLC pack is not about leveling up, finding cool guns, or building weapon proficiencies. The Underdome is specifically all about killing enemies in a variety of ways and seeing how much you can survive before calling it quits. The name of the game is wave combat. Enemi...

      A Night With Mad Moxxi 0

       This Review was originally posted at:   http://invertedyaxis.blogspot.com/2010/01/night-with-mad-moxxi.html  I spent Saturday night in Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, the most recent pack of DLC for Borderlands. I think after playing through about 55 rounds of punishment I can agree with a lot of the reviews circulating out there.For those of you who don't know, Madd Moxxi's Underdome Riot is Borderland's attempt at a "horde mode" or "firefight" mode. However, they take out any XP progression (thou...
