I don't know how many of us have been following 360 games lately but next month, Gearbox is releasing Borderlands.
It's a Halo/CoD FPS with and RPG twist. To top it off, Borderlands is a loot-based dungeon crawler like Diablo, Baulder's Gate, etc. And it's set in a large, free-roam post-appocolyptic world. Customizable vehicles included!
That's just what *type* of game it is. I didn't mention the tetherless 4-player online co-op did I?
How about Gearbox's random weapon generator that at this very moment, is capable of generating of 17 MILLION weapon combinations? Shotguns that shoot micro rockets? Sniper rifles that shoot healing rounds? Machine guns that shoot electrified razor blades?
I know I shouldn't get this excited about a game because everytime I do, I end up really disappointed. But after watching all the gameplay, "Making of", and trailer videos, I haven't found anything to shake my faith in this games excellence.
I'm so geeking out for this game!
