Tales from the Borderlands

So, I've never played Borderlands before. I saw the game for free on the Xbox Live store, knew that a load of my friends loved the game, and thought why the hell not?.

Safe to say, I loved this game. It only took me about an hour and a half to play the first episode through (and hey, I only died once, which I think is pretty damn good). This game is addicting, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Honestly, I'm amazed at the quality of the game; now then, I have seen game play of Borderlands and I was stunned that Telltale managed to have the quality at the same standard as their other games – but still in the same unique Borderlands style.

The game itself is easy enough to understand, and the two characters you play as (Fiona and Rhys) are fun to play as – and often, Fiona's sassy remarks left me in stitches. I had to pause the game at one point to go wipe my face of tears.

The first episode of the game is, currently, free on the Xbox Live store and I really suggest you go and download it. The game is a wonderful one, and it even tugged on my heartstrings at one point (and my friends call me heartless due to the content I write!)

It's well written, funny, and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. A solid 10/10 for this game, I didn't even notice the lag – there is one part I noticed where Vaughn is talking, but his lips don't move, and I think that happens a few times, but really, you don't notice that much.

For achievement hunters – this is an easy one. An hour and a half play through gets you 200G (20G; 30G; 20G; 20G; 30G; 30G; 50G) over 7 achievements – just playing the game achieves you all seven.

I can't wait for my next pay check so I can grab the season pass and play through it all. What are you waiting for? Go and try it.
