Well among lots of things going on offline I did manage to get to play for a few hours here and there this past week.

I went and bought the game Borderlands and have joined Wildcuffy in a couple of sessions. I know I usually complain about the price of add-ons and most of the time I refuse to buy them but I made an exception with Borderlands and bought the special add-on which included all four new areas, they took forever so i’m guessing they are huge and there will be plenty to do.

I am still one trophy from platinum which is the rescue the claptraps for 42 slots, I have 39 and i’ve rescued them all so I can only imagine I sold one of the upgrades mistakenly early on so will have to trek through the game again, I don’t mind though, it’s a great game.

Have also managed to get some hours in on White Knight Chronicles and played my good friends from the forum, Death , Wildcuffy and Ko Ko, hope to get on again soon to play them all some more.

I’ll be away for the next couple of days but will be back to play more from sunday or monday, hope everyone gets what they want for christmas and i’ll wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year for now, good luck all 🙂

Yes I probably shouldn’t compare games like this but I am really enjoying playing Borderlands and I just can’t help comparing it to Fallout 3, it is so similar.

If you enjoyed the quest side of Fallout 3 you will love this game, it’s even bigger than fallout 3 and I think there are more quests, and you have the added extra of playing online which is actually very cool.

I had my friend Wildcuffy invite me to join him online with Borderlands and it’s like playing the storyline offline but with friends, it’s really cool, and thanks to cuffy I got myself another 15 trophies.

I love the fact you can drive a vehicle to cover the wide open areas, the upgrade system is excellent and there are so many different types of weapons available with enhancements and mods you will never get bored of trying them all out.

I think i’m going to be on this one for quite some time as it’s so open ended and a lot of fun. I think I would prefer to be at level 50 to play online but today was a lot of fun even at my level 25.

Will update more as I complete more quests but don’t want to put spoilers here as I know there are people that haven’t played it yet, for spoilers and a more in depth view on the game pop over to our forum and i’ll be writing a review on Borderlands by next weekend.

Best New RPG’s. |

I’ve decided to put a few of the best new releases here, when I say best i’m talking about the top RPG’s which have been released just this month or last.

The follow up posts to this will be November releases followed by December releases, so let’s get started.

I’m really listing all the ones which are on my christmas list and as you know a game has to be pretty great for me to want to purchase.

First up is Borderlands, i’ve seen a demo and trailer, it looks pretty cool and the storyline seems like it good end up being a good game, I can’t help thinking of Fallout 3 when I see clips and screenshots of this game, it looks nothing like Fallout 3 but it just gives me that feeling that it could be a game like that, I could also be disappointed, i’m glad I rent my games before I buy.

Here is the storyline for Borderlands:

Borderlands: PlayStation 3


Journey to the harsh frontier planet Pandora where you will be greeted by an array of native creatures bent on stopping your mission. In search of a mysterious alien vault, you are destined to comb the vast environment, fighting your way through bandits and discovering aggressive creatures. Stepping into the shoes of one of four distinct characters, you will explore the unforgiving terrain and battle enemies in frantic first-person shooter combat. Do you have what it takes to survive an alien environment and finish what you started, or will you succumb to the unfamiliar wasteland known as Pandora? Set out on an epic adventure to the frontier planet Pandora in search of a mysterious alien vault. In the unforgiving environment, you will customize your character as you explore and battle enemies in devastating first-person shooter combat. Scour the planet for loot and wield a virtually endless variety of weapons and items as you navigate the game’s deep, rich fiction and revel in the bold art style that mixes traditional rendering techniques with hand-drawn textures. Join and leave other players’ games at will and even play in split-screen format, or choose to face the challenges of Pandora by your wits and might alone. Fight your way through bandits, discover nine native creatures and aid the few settlers on the planet as you seek the rumored treasure in the alien vault. Will you complete your mission victorious, or will you join the innumerable others felled by Pandora’s harsh environment?

Released on the 20th of October this game is priced at $59.99 on the PS3 and XBox360 and $49.99 on the PC. It’s a lot of money to part with if your not sure of this one, I would suggest rent this one first, if you want to check out what Gamefly has to offer it’s well worth it, you can read my review on Gamefly here.
The last one on my list is the best of the best, wherever you look even the critics are giving this game awesome reviews, yes Uncharted 2, I can’t even get to rent this one yet it’s so popular. You’ve probably seen the commercial on tv but if not there is a guy who plays Uncharted 2 and he’s complaining because his girlfriend thinks its a movie, that almost sums it up, the graphics from what i’ve seen so far are unbelievable, everyone who is reviewing it says it plays like a movie, it’s got a great storyline, the graphics will blow you away and i’ve never seen a game with so many 10 or 9.5 ratings, here is the storyline:
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves: PlayStation 3


Caught up once before in the treacherous world of thieves and mercenary treasure-seekers, fortune hunter Nathan Drake vowed it would never happen again. But when Drake finds himself running a bit low on luck, the lure of that world proves too tantalizing to resist. Drawn like a moth to a flame to the tale of the lost fleet of Marco Polo, Drake sets off on an expedition to find the valley of Shambhala. But he's about to encounter some very real danger amidst the legend. Return to a shadowy and dangerous world filled with mercenaries and criminals in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. As Drake, you'll embark on a perilous journey into the Himalayan Mountains in search of the truth behind a compelling legend. Make your stand aggressively against the dangers that dwell in the mountains, or take a stealth approach to combat courtesy of the game's open layout. See the game world come to life with a bold, cinematic presentation, complete with free-flowing "traversal gunplay" that adds a unique vertical element to standard third-person shooting mechanics. Compete or cooperate with other players in exciting multiplayer gameplay as you seize your courage and prepare to risk everything in a deadly pursuit.

Priced at $59.99 from Bestbuy or various prices from Amazon. If you want to check out Amazon store there are links/banners on the right hand side of the page, before buying from Amazon you should check out my Amazon review here.

Don't forget to check back for the coming soon games to the latest systems.

Had a chance to play the demo for Brutal Legend today, this is my biggest surprise as far as games go this year, it really didn’t sound like my kind of game but it turned out to be a really fun game.
If you don’t buy this one at least rent it, the comments are really funny, the demo got completed in about 20 minutes but we couldn’t stop laughing, cool graphics and easy to use buttons make it a really fun game to play. I’ll write a review on it once I play the whole game but I don’t want to give anything away here.

If your looking for decent boss battles which seem to last forever then Devil May Cry 4 is right up your street, awesome graphics too, great cut scenes, if you liked the previous Devil May Cry’s you’ll love this one.

I’ve also been playing Infamous today for a while and this one is a keeper, another really fun game to play and very original, main story mode with side quests is going to make this one last many hours, I spent so much time messing around with my awesome powers and climbing stuff I never even finished the quest in the demo, it was a lot of fun.

Also watched the trailer for borderlands, this looks like another great game, tons of weapons, characters and looks like it’s going to be one of those games which is very open ended like fallout 3, talking of which i’ll be getting the add-ons for fallout 3 any day now.

Worse game played was Batman, the graphics were pretty awesome as were the cut scenes, I didn’t like the fighting much as the moves didn’t seem to connect with the enemy, it was like the enemy was reacting to the wind of my kicks or punches, and you can’t hit anyone else but enemies, not even the guards which was wierd, there seems like there will be loads of stuff to do in this game, just in the demo I unlocked some stuff so i’d recommend this one as a rental only, great looking game but some disappointments along the way.
