Quick Borderlands, Elite Squadron Demo Impressions 0

by Adam Blue • Editorial

I’ve been playing quite a bit of Borderlands this past week. I am enjoying it, though I wouldn’t consider it for GOTY. It’s just a tad bit repetitive, but just like the rest of the genre, the leveling up and player progression is so addictive that I go back just for that. The story…eh, not much there. The graphics and art style…it’s ok. I also prefer single player because it seems to roll out as a smoother, tighter experience, and I tend to find better loot. I may do I review on the game when (if) I finish it. There would have to be multiple reasons for it: I feel I need to express why to play/not play the game, and I feel I would need to finish it, which depending on the addiction it might not happen.

Star Wars Elite Squadron demo arrived on PSN. It’s another Battlefront style game which I do enjoy. I did buy the 2007 version and had fun with it. But being on the PSP, the controls aren’t us fun. It’s made for a more easier, pick up and play style. The problem though, especially with it being a demo, is that just a minute into the on-foot mission I got stuck in the game world. Just standing there. An AT-AT walked toward me and I just stood there. It pretty much turned me off and made me not want to play it again. Though, it is Star Wars and the graphics for the space battles looked great, and the controls for that were good so I might give it another go. I’m a sucker for Star Wars space battles with lasers shooting everywhere. And there were a lot of lasers.

Next week I’ll have my Dead Space: Extraction review up. I will tell you now it is awesome and to get it. But for those skeptical, I will let you know why.

I’ve got Demon’s Souls on my GameQ, so hopefully I’ll dig into that some next week. The game sounds totally brutal, which I’m very excited for.
