Featured Release: Borderlands 2
Whenever I hear Cage the Elephant’s Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked (which, for a while was the alarm on my phone), I’m instantly transported onto an armored school bus traveling down the dusty roads of Pandora. With so much that has gone on in my life, it’s hard to believe that the original Borderlands only came out in 2009. After three years, the team at Gearbox Software are back with Borderlands 2.
In the sequel, the player has to face the forces of Handsome Jack – a self-appointed ruler on Pandora. When you go all Maximus Meridius during one of Handsome Jack’s tournaments, he sees you as a threat and leaves you to die in the arctic. Similar to the original, you play as one of four characters – each original to this title (though you will meet the characters from the original in this game).
One thing that really set Borderlands apart was it’s massive amounts of DLC and the Gearbox team has already been hinting at what gamers can expect following the release. Gamers who pre-ordered through Gamestop (which I don’t know if it’s still available if you buy the game at the store now that you can’t pre-order any more) receive a special game type, similar to the Horde mode from Gears of War.
Borderlands 2 arrives on store shelves today.
