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.
Burnout Paradise: Big Surf Island comes with a surprise
So you want the sweetness that is Big Surf Island, but don't want to pay the big $12.50 for it? You need more than just the new muscle cars, the big racing enviroments and the new license? You just can't be happy.. always wanting something MORE DAMNIT! (we all do).
There are nine new vehicles that can be unlocked in Big Surf Island; five of them are the big muscle cars and dune buggies. As an added bonus, the other four unlockables are the cars from the Legendary Cars pack from a couple months ago. They come back now as little toy cars; little adorbale cars that will smash your face into the guardrail when you least expect it.
So if you were too cheap to pay for the Burnout Paradise Legendary car pack, you had better pony up the cash for the Big Surf Island DLC. Pay up Scrooge McDuck!
