Borderlands 2

Players: 1-2 players offline, 2-4 online players
Publisher: 2k Games
Genres: First-person Shooter, RPG
Release Date: September 18, 2012
Developer: Gearbox
MSRP: $59.99
Platforms:
Depart with four new characters onto the dangerous alien planet of Pandora in search of treasure, guns, and a challenge. Play as one of four different classes and use any of the millions of guns you can find to kill the competition.

I want to shoot this many times.

The original Borderlands is still a game I go back to all the time, so I’m as excited as anybody for Gearbox’s sequel. I’m just worried about how they’ll raise the ba–is that split screen co-op?!

Apparently the end of the first Borderlands had little to no effect on the level of violence on the planet, despite the woman at the end of the trailer’s declaration that, “Pandora has changed.” I assume she must be referring to the reign of Handsome Jack, the game’s apparently misnamed antagonist. As much as I’m looking forward to a billion new guns, the best thing this sequel can offer is an actual climax and resolution. Hopefully a main villain will do that.

Borderlands 2 will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on September 18th, 2012.

    I read about some of the new stuff they were putting in the sequel in Game Informer a while back. Apparently you can interact with the characters you played as in the original Borderlands. I can’t wait to talk to Roland. I love that guy! Also the NPC’s will be able to walk around and do stuff like play darts while they wait for you to approach them. The “Gunzerker” class looks interesting. Imagine dual wielding any 2 guns in the game for a limited time.

    Not to be a downer…but it might just be the same game basically. Which I have no problem with. Give me new set of guns [did that] give me new characters [looks like they sort of did that with most of them.] and new area and missions [have to be doing that.

    Overall…I’m still starting with that sentry dude XD. Army all the way brother.

      Why – points, what he do wrong? If anything Zero reminds me of those enemys in the armor DLC. Might be part of them.

    I hope this turns out to be an excellent game. The first Borderlands game was great, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel!
