Borderlands Zombie Island DLC
Enjoying killing zombies in L4D 2, but expected a bit more...flair? Well, have no fear, The Island of Dr. Ned (not his totally not made up brother Dr. Zed) DLC lands today for the Xbox and PS3 and brings what you need. And by what you need, I totally mean awesome visuals, new levels and zombie faces being punched into exploding bits. Oh yeah, watch out for the bird. The visuals of the levels really is quite stunning; although you can see where they re-used bits. The price of the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC for the Xbox/PS3 is 800/$9.99. No word yet on when owners of the PC game will get the DLC.
In a semi serious manner, Gearbox has responded to everybody who was disappointed by the ending in Borderlands.
We went through lots of different iterations on what the ending of the game was,” said Helquist. “We ultimately ended up with what you get to play. We didn’t know how people were going to react to it. Obviously the reaction hasn’t been as strong as we had hoped [laughs]. That’s something we’re going to be keeping in mind as we do new things, whether it’s download content or other games in the future. We’re gonna think more about it and try to get more user feedback before the game comes out so we can ensure that we’ll have endings that you guys like in the future.”
Scary, vagina faced monsters aside, I thought the ending was clever. It could have used some more work though, the last half of the game was very quick and was pretty much hurry up and get through everything. I do like the fact that they are open to many possibilities of DLC (such as the Island of Dr. Ned) and they can continue to explore the mythology of the vault.
