Anybody checking out this game? Looks like fun to me.
I'll probably get the PC version (fps with a game controller is still like doing brain surgery with my feet)

Steam's got a four pack discount going if you buy four games at once you get like $12 off each game.

    Never heard of it. Guess I'll look it up on Steam.

    No cashola at the moment personally, but keep us in the loop as things progress.

    It's a post apocalyptic westernish game that reminds me of Fallout 3 but they flipped it around so it's an fps with rpg elements. I hated the combat in Fallout 3 so if this games plays like a real fps I'm all over it.
    One aspect that sounds fun is that weapons spawn as they're dropped, meaning there is a randomizing engine that makes the weapon as it drops so there will be hundreds of thousands of possible weapon combinations with unique stats.
    There's 4 character classes to choose from and you modify it with skills as you level up.
    Comes out at the end of the month I think.
    It might suck but the trailers look cool.

    Just checked out the gameplay videos on youtube and it plays like an fps. 4 player coop looks hectic. A lot to shoot at and bullets flying everywhere. Corrosive shotguns, sniper machine pistol, fists, vehicles, yum. The graphics are weird though. It looks all hand drawn.

    Hilarious way to advertise a video game.
    Episode 1
    Episode 2

    Oh, and the ODST commercial is the best thing I've ever seen in advertising. Heyooo!!!

    Personally I found the videos a complete waste of time. Told me nothing about the game nor why I should buy it. Seems like an expensive exercise in self-pleasuring for the producers.

    I own it for PS3. I am quite enjoying it. Play it with a few college buddies

    Total combinations for weapons is either 1.3 million or 3.1 I can't remember which order the numbers go in.

    I've been tossing up Borderlands, but the game that really has my attention right now is Uncharted 2. Unfortunately it's a Sony production so I'll never see it on my 360, but it looks to be everything I've wanted in an action game for a long time. Indiana Jones meets Prince of Persia meets awesome.

    I've got Borderlands on my PC. Anybody else playing it?

    So far I'm liking it. Kind of Diablo'esque where you team up and go questing and armor/mod/weapon hunting. If you loose all your health you have a few seconds to kill something and keep going or a team mate can revive you. If you don't make it you respawn at the nearest DNA replicator and you loose some money, which can really add up.

    I have Borderlands for the PC. I like it ALOT.

    Soloed to about lvl 16 so far, been busy.
    I tried to play the 4 player Co-op, but some bug makes it very hard to join or host games.
    There is supposed to be a patch...

    EDIT: actually, they have a post on their forums about how you need to open some ports in your router to allow multiplay.
    I did it and hosted a public game for about 30 minutes. Just like in Diablo, all sorts of run-around-wanks joined the game, but it proved I made a good host.

    I'd like to try a passworded online game if anyone is up for it.
