    Borderlands!

    I'm probably going to end up keeping this review short, Borderlands was an awesome game while it lasted, I spent 20 hours going through the game on my first play-through enjoying everything, all the environments, quests, enemies, weapons, etc. When I beat it the first time I was kinda pissed at the ending, where's the vault?, 100 $$$ is all I get for killing that huge easy monster?, that's bullcrap. So then I loaded up play-through #2, beat that in 10 - 15 hours, so in total I now have 35 hours of gameplay, this was over a week of playing Borderlands too.
     
    Story: I give it a seven, I never really got hooked, felt lost and confused about what was going on a lot of the time, etc.
     
    Multiplayer: I'll give it an eight, Fun to player the story with friends, there's not much else to multiplayer, sure you could duel but from my experience as a Siren I can 1 hit anything instantly so there's no point in even trying to duel people.
     
    Overall I'd give this game a 3.5 rating, it's good, but it's not great, there are other games I could have spent the money on and got a lot of hours out of, like Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360 or Team Fortress 2 for the PC.

      SPEED Review: WTF! 0

      Now then, this is going to be a speed review, i'll mention some good points and some bad points and then draw a conclusion.  The good-shit: -Has an awesome attitude  -Great visuals -Lots o' Loot -A great shooter, at it's core  The bad-shit: -Story? -Repetitive (includes voice over work, enemies, etc...)-Horrible ending  All in all I will say this, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad. It wasn't fun but it wasn't boring. The point is that Gearbox could have had a great new IP with this game and they...
