Release and Review - Borderlands 2

The smash hit Borderlands 2 released in game stores all across America as of today September 18, 2012. The first expanded in a variety of, well, almost everything. Millions upon millions of weaponry and hundreds of different enemies suspended the surface of the Pandora, also known as a wasteland.

The first game revolved around the vault-hunter's prize: the vault. It's untold stories and riches scoured the minds of every individual residing there. Endless power and wealth would  bring you never-ending fame: well according to what people thought. You are to choose among the four vault hunting mercenaries, Mordecai, Roland, Lilith, and Brick.

The first game was a sensational best selling game revealed in September of 2007, but released to North America  on October 20 of 2009 as a console version. The PC versions for MAC and Windows released 15 months after the console versions did.


Borderlands 2 made its grand debut as of Early today. To emphasize the game's popular demand, in week one of the first game release it sold 450,000 units in comparison to the 1,250,000 pre-orders for the sequel. These numbers are sure to rise more throughout the remainder of the week.

The two games seem "too cartoon-ish" for the average person. Someone with the ability to see past small let-downs is a true gamer. Although the true gamer would be the ultimate critique for our subject, somethings aren't worth putting the entire game down. Based on my personal experience with game one and views of game two, I would say the quality, animation, upgrades and additions are worth killing for; saying Borderlands was and still is my all time favorite.
