X-com Enemy Unknown 2012 Review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

After many years of waiting for a true return to X-com, is it worth the wait?

Sectoid from Enemy Unknown 2012
The New Sectoid
  After about 18 years since the last X-com game came out, a new game in the series finally comes out, and many developers have tried to capture to feel of the original series, but lacked a certain something to make it a true successor. Now Firaxis has the rights to the X-com Universe and their latest release, Enemy Unknown, has made great strides in the "Turn-Based Strategy" genre.

  The latest release lives up to the hype of it's predecessors, and this reboot stays true to what made X-Com... X-com. You are given a tutorial to freshen you up on the game, for both seasoned veterans and new players alike, and after some short hand holding you are thrown into the game to lead humanity to success, or failure.  You have one base to play with, and is done in a ant farm style, and the way they made the base and the game, you only need one. In the older games, you had to have multiple bases to scan and deploy interceptors around the world, but in this game you can deploy satellites and have interceptors stationed around the world from the beginning, and can be deployed, stationed, and managed from the base itself.

Borderlands 2 Game Review

Gearbox's smash hit gets an awesome sequel!

   The first borderlands game was an excellent first person shooter/Role-playing game loot fest, taking concepts from game franchises like Diablo, with it's RPG stat setups and the joy of finding bigger, badder items along your journey, and mixing it in with a first person shooter created a surprise hit for gearbox, gaining a large following. The sequel to Borderlands offers more of the same, with some serious improvements across the board, making it a prime example of how a sequel should be composed, taking the formula that makes it good, but improving upon it, rather than removing things that makes it work.

   Borderlands 2 Story is about the adventurers of a new set of vault hunters hunting down and destroying the tyrannical president of Hyperion, Handsome Jack, who is controlling Pandora with an iron fist, with a megalomaniac, egotistical mindset, making this guy someone you will hate rather quickly. With the assistance of the previous vault hunters, the story proceeds much better and offers you much more insight than the previous game, which had very little in the way of story and narrative. Borderlands 2's story offers much more narrative, cutscenes, and the Echo recorders scattered about Pandora which offers more insight on character backstories, including the new Vault Hunters. Overall, I enjoy the story for Borderlands 2, as it offered great plot twists, story advancement, and character interaction between those you meet up with in your adventure.
