Borderlands 2

Thanks to a good friend of mine and his stream (which you can find here) I won myself a copy of Gearbox Softwares Borderlands 2 and have finally sunk some time into one of last years best games.

Yes indeed it is one of the best games of last year, and one of the best I have played in some time.

Starting up I made myself a Commando and hopped into the world of Pandora and just like the first one, the cel shaded visual style did not disappoint. This time around though the crispness is even sharper and the creature designs are superb. I have only played through for a number of hours now and know I have barely scratched the surface of the shooting and looting and am excited for more of it. As well I will write more after I play online and couch co-op with my brothers and friends in the near future.

Thus far though Borderlands 2 has been a superb shooter and something that is far more interesting to myself than most of the other fps games out there. If you haven't played this, then pick it up for sure, and if you have what do you think?

Postscript. Fire Emblem for the 3DS comes out this weekend, expect some more talk about that one soon enough.
