video game console, multiplayer games Borderlands has been flying under the radar as far as I am concerned but after watching the video below it looks like a real video game console treat. Part first person shooter and part RPG, the idea of this game is the main character is on a fictional planet in search of buried treasure. I assume like most treasure hunts many unforeseen mostly bad things happen and it becomes less about getting rich and more about survival. The open desert environment looks pretty impressive. From the video below it looks like points are awarded for dropping rounds in different areas of the enemies. As more points are awarded different add-ons will be available.

 

What looks a little different is how enemies fly around when they get shot or blown up. It is that rag doll modeling system popularized on the later Halo titles that makes blasting bad guys so fun. I have no idea when Badlands comes out but I will be patiently waiting. The multiplayer games look like addictive action as well. The holiday season is turning out to be very rewarding for video game consoles.
