With a raised level cap and a lack of arena-based combat (at least as far as we know), General Knoxx could very well be the most enticing content add-on to date for Borderlands. And that's exactly why we're standing near a couch when reviewing it, hoping to be knoxx'd off our feet. (Sorry, there was no getting around that one.) We'll let you know in a few.

Isn't all of Avatar a knockoff?
At least with Borderlands the similarities are intentional

i liked Raritanium from Ratchet and Clank better. But seriously, there was no grizzled old sergeant character in Aliens, at least not one that resembled Quaritch or Knoxx. The sergeant in aliens was the basis for Halo's Sergeant Johnson, and every super black cigar chompin military man since.

I, for one, am totally okay with Borderlands becoming a platform on which unlimited DLC packs can be built. Dr. Ned's had a very different feel from the main game, and I like that Gearbox doesn't feel confined to making DLC be just like the main game. Will buy.

I wonder if the level cap is goning to be retroactive. Because, I'm over 4 million XP past level 50 and I was hoping for an increase to 75 or 100.
Definitely can't wait for Borderlands 2 to be annouced. Especially, If you could import your save from the first.

Yuuup, true enough.
My brother and his friend thinks my lvl 50 Siren is cheap...
...There's nothing cheap about killing somebody and being able to light people on fire and move 50% more faster.....

I love Lilith's wanted poster. It's obvious what the camera guy was looking at.

I'm down to Assassins Creed 2, GTA 4's dlc, Bayonetta.. and Star Ocean (which I've had since day 1, actually most thses games are day 1!).. currently going through The Maw that I got on deal of the week, finished up Mass Effect 2, Dante's Inferno & Fallout 3 with all the DLC, also Army of Two 40th Day (also on PSP) & Forza 3 over the last month.. 4 plays of Dragon Age really put me back after one final achievement.. the other games I got in Jan Sales were Terminator Salvation, Mini Ninja's, Sherlock Holmes & CSI Deadly Intent.. then with FFXIII & Dragon Age Awakening just around the corner..

This is actually really good and gets back to the feel of the original game with more mad max tones (massive highways etc) I have only played an hour though but fun so far.
I wish I had skipped the moxxi underdome though I just didn't like it, zombie island was worth it though.
The DLC is great and the price isn't that bad its on par with the price of most arcade games coming out and gives more gameplay hours then some arcade games.
The only issue I have is that its in total 3.5gb of extra data to have all 3 packs on my xbox and i have an old school 10gb xbox so its kind of sad :(
