Hands-on: Borderlands 2 | VGTODAY

Andreas Varotsis, VGTODAY writes: "Sitting down at the Borderlands 2 machine at Rezzed, I felt instantly at home. Borderlands was a winning formula, the satisfying cooperative gunplay and the Diablo-like loot collection getting along like a house on fire – a house made of TNT, big guns, and insane psycho gnomes – and Gearbox have made sure not to stray too far. Even on a controller, the weighty weaponry, colourful aesthetic and general mayhem make the sequel instantly recognisable.

For those worrying, don’t – keyboard and mouse apparently works just fine, as I was assured by an apologetic attendant, it’s just that reloading makes the game explode. Let’s hope that one is fixed before launch. PC gaming, ey?"

PUMPED!

Borderlands was fantastic! A likely day one purchase for me.

Aye, looking forward to it myself.

Hopefully Borderlands 2 gets the mass market success it looks like it's going to deserve.

Wish they could find a way to bring Knoxx back:

"Well, its been fun chatting but now I have to send a hit squad to take you out. Much love!"

<3 that guy:(

Can't wait! Already have mine pre-ordered.

And in the Knoxx vein...

*Yawn* "This is General Knoxx. I really don't wanna be here. This planet smells like hemorrhoids wrapped in bacon!"

[antz1104]

Whats with our disagrees? Did someone seriously not like Knoxx? Bet they're a Nazi......only viable explanation.

[Parasyte]

Phantom disagree trolls. They infest this place.
