I'm probably going to end up keeping this review short, Borderlands was an awesome game while it lasted, I spent 20 hours going through the game on my first play-through enjoying everything, all the environments, quests, enemies, weapons, etc. When I beat it the first time I was kinda pissed at the ending, where's the vault?, 100 $$$ is all I get for killing that huge easy monster?, that's bullcrap.

While playing this game on Xbox is fun, pressing the block and attack buttons for a few hours of gameplay isn't exactly…
