I like Gearbox.
I know that they’re a huge company whose primary goals involve taking my money from me, but the guys that work there seem to have a good sense of humor (judging by the writing inBorderlands), and they’ve broken, at least temporarily, the games-media cycle. To wit: they announced “The Secret Armory of General Knoxx,” the third pack of DLC for the Game-of-the-Year-nominated Borderlands,less than a month ago.
It’s availableright nowon Xbox Live Arcade, and it’ll hit the PlayStation 3 on Thursday. I don’t know about you guys, but waiting years for a new game is for the birds.
On that note, I liked thefirst two packs ofBorderlandsDLC, even if “Mad Moxxi” isstillglitching my characters.Hamza’s “General Knoxx” previewwas pretty positive, and Gearbox are promising all the things that fans have been complaining about since, oh, October: there are new weapons, new enemies, new weapons, and a raised level cap.
“General Knoxx” addressesliterally every complaint I’ve ever heardaboutBorderlandsDLC — surely that’s worth $10 to anyone who enjoyed the original game.
Oh, and in the “dat ass” sector, I’ll see your Siren and raise youa mech-ninja.
