    One of the funniest games ever made.

    Addiction to the max... Let me get the easy and mandatory stuff of the way: The Graphics: Okay so this is the same engine as 3 years ago. However, there are improvements, at least on the PC version. The physx is... Read Full Review

    Borderlands 2

    In a similar fashion to the first game, you're immediately introduced to an energetic and annoying robot named Claptrap. You are also contacted by a mysterious woman who tells you to follow Claptrap, and then guide you t... Read Full Review

    A worthy sequel.

    As a huge fan to the original game in the series, this sequel was quite a pleasant surprise. The game's art style has always been a highlight for the series and it certainly did not let me down in this iteration. Explori... Read Full Review

    With the game coming out late in the year of 2012, the gaming community was expecting another hit that came from the game publishing company 2k Games. Mixing different genres together, 2k games and gearbox studios hit t... Read Full Review

    Another potentially great game mucked up by marketing...

    EDIT: To be fair to this review, I had mentioned the "Take Over Your Life" Borderlands pack offered on Steam. Upon checking, corrections: it's $125 ($124.99 or some such I believe), and it doesn't include EVERYTHING... m... Read Full Review

    Rockstar and TakeTwo are the worst companies ever. They create ambiguity and then attack players

    TakeTwo and Rockstar hate there customers and those that take there games from games to franchises. The only solution is to publicly apologize to the franchise makers and create a written policy promoting and encouragin... Read Full Review

    Tons of guns, hilarious dialogues & impeccable action & over the top nonsense.

    Borderlands 2 lets you play either as a commando, Mechromancer, Siren, Gunzerker or Assassin. I chose to play the game as Axton the Commando, whose unique skill is the gun turret that he pops out for a short duration whi... Read Full Review

    A rather long, not too professional critique on a terrible sequel

    Note: The following score given to the game is not the actual score. It is the subtitle that represents my main views of the game itself (i.e. superb, abysmal, etc.) Massive spoilers for the review will be here, so read ... Read Full Review

    Outstanding script, diverse environments, and plenty to explore make Borderlands 2 one of the best RPG games.

    I have never played the original Borderlands. I decided to play Borderlands 2 to see what this franchise is like. I first noticed the cel-shaded graphics and a diverse number of characters to choose from. After I chose ... Read Full Review

    Same as the first only bigger & better

    Not much to say here. Borderlands 2 is an awesome game. Plethora of weapons, online interaction doing coop with other people, being able to redo previous areas for loot drops. If you do get this game and are thinking... Read Full Review
