RAGE

I played this game a while ago now but I do remember it being a very enjoyable shooter, from start to finish. I got the 'Anarchy Edition' for xbox off Amazon for around £10 which includes the double barrel shotgun, rat rod buggy, fists of rage & crimson elite armor in game. It's a 3 disc game but in my opinion they could of easily put it all onto 1.

   The way the game plays out is really awesome, but it felt very linear. I was expecting a Fallout style exploring game but it's really not. I played the game on the normal difficulty which seemed very easy and not at all challenging, so a good tip is to play it on the hardest difficulty to emurse yourself into the game more.

  From throwing a 'wingstick' to shooting the head of a bandit with a combat shotgun, the whole game is very well done, the graphic engine and art style is different but in a good way, a very good way. shooting all the guns is very satisfying in itself. Now onto driving the buggies, this i did not like, the controls felt kinda clunky and non responsive. Shooting at other buggies got very tedious and annoying at some points as you don't really need to shoot at them unless you want money for doing so.

   My one last complaint about the game is that it's not very long at all, given that it has 3 discs i was expecting a lot more gameplay.

   Overall it's a very good game & worth a purchase, you can probably pick it up now for quite cheap. Just don't expect hours upon hours of gameplay with tons of stuff to keep you busy. Very satisfying game!

Borderlands

Been playing Borderlands for the last few months all round its a really good game. I bought the game of year edition from Game which includes all the DLC (The zombie island of Doctor Ned, Mad Moxxi's underdome riot, The secret armory of General Knoxx & Claptraps new robot revolution), I got the game for £15 but if you shop around you can probably get it for less than that.

  The game itself is really quite long, you definitely get your monies worth especially with all the DLC from the game of year edition. There are a lot of  main quests to do & even more side quests.

  I've been playing it on the xbox, it plays really well & i absolutely love the art style of the game it's kinda like cell shading but a bit more detailed, so if your looking for a game based souly on graphics this probably isn't the game for you.  Like the advert says the game really does have a 'bazillion' guns, but in my opinion there are too many because you probably won't even end up using half of them making it kinda pointless.

  Overall a really good game, lots of fun, the humor is great throughout the whole game & definitely worth a purchase.

  Got any questions about the game or DLC don't hesitate to ask! This is only a brief description of the game, I'll add more if someone requests it.
