More Violence? … “Oh Yeah Baby!”

Did I mention how cool Borderlands is? I discovered this Mad Max style console game after watching a [very] cool prime time TV advert for it and I’ve never looked back! Weeks of sleepless nights are a testament to this … And now there is downloadable content!?!

Borderlands is a first-person shoot-em-up developed by Gearbox Software for Microsoft WindowsXbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and released in Australia last year. This console game has done pretty well in the sales department internationally and has gotten some pretty great, though not super-fantastic, reviews. To keep the game play fresh, Gearbox have released some new downloadable content with new quests, items and enemies: The Zombie Island of Dr Ned and Max Moxxi’s Underdome Riot.

One of the things I enjoyed most about this game was it’s title song “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” by Cage The Elephant. I had never heard of this band before playing Borderlands, but on this song alone I went and bought their self-titled album.
