5 Reasons Borderlands 2 is more Kickass than the Original

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

bl2_gc_combat_in_lynchwood Did you ever want to use a sniper that fires grenades, or even a pistol that shoots acidic rounds? Borderlands 2 has more guns and craziness than a cl4p tr4ps hard drive. The question now remains; is it as good as the original or as bad as a sack of Skags?

Quite simply – Yes. Beyond simplicity? It surpasses the original in every way. Here’s 5 reasons why:

Guns, Guns and Guess What, More Guns

Borderlands has always been about killing and looting with your closest friends while competing over who has the biggest gun. Borderlands 2 takes this concept and boosts it to new proportions. The total number of guns to find in the original was 17.7 million (each mod or colour change counted as a new gun), whereas now, well – there’s just too many to count! The sheer number of variations compared to the first game is staggering, amusing and downright manic. It has everything from plasma shooting assault rifles and burst firing elemental sniper rifles, to wacky guns that scream when you shoot them and, if you’re really lucky, guns with ammo regeneration. If you thought the original had a lot of guns, this has them in spades.

Borderlands 2 Fans go Head-to-Head to Conquer Mount Jackmore

Friday, September 14th, 2012

bl2_gc_combat_in_lynchwood Limited Edition Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chests and other goodies to be won via new online shoot and loot game, Mount Jackmore.

First they had gamers hooked for hours with 80’s style de-make, ‘The Border Lands’. Now, 2K Games and Gearbox Software have launched Mount Jackmore, a new online game with prizes to give away including the much sought-after Limited Edition Loot Lockers.

Handsome Jack, the ultimate villain of Gearbox Software’s upcoming release, Borderlands 2, has kicked his arrogance and douchebaggery up a notch by carving his face into Pandora’s rocky landscape. Mount Jackmore gives players the mission to shoot away at his chiselled features in the hope of taking away a prize.

Registered players start by selecting their weapon of choice and use their initial supply of 100 bullets to chip away at Jack’s stony face. Players can earn additional ammo once a day by inviting friends to play. As the rock disintegrates, prizes will be given away at designated points in the game.
