One of the hottest games of the fall was the shooter / RPG title from Gearbox, Borderlands. Recently, we were fortunate enough to get to sit down with Matthew Armstrong, the Director of Borderlands, to talk about the recently released Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC, as well as the upcoming Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot.

Gaming Today: Could you tell our readers a little bit more about yourself, your role in the development of Borderlands, and what you do at Gearbox?

Matthew Armstrong: Matthew Armstrong, I was director of Borderlands. Right now I’m just one of a group of extremely talented people working on DLC.

Q: You’ve recently announced the Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot DLC. Coming so close on the heels of The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, it begs the question: How much DLC can fans of Borderlands expect to see beyond Mad Moxxi?

Over at VG247.com, our very own GT alumnus Stephany Nunneley has posted a little snippet of an article from The Guardian UK. In this article, the Guardian purports to list the pros and cons of each gaming console in an honest effort to provide consumers with buying information.

Unfortunately, it’s all too obvious that whoever wrote this piece either hasn’t actually touched any of the consoles, has been away from the gaming scene for months (if not years), or has inserted their head firmly in a certain orifice of Microsoft’s.

Let’s examine exactly what they say, and then counter it with some actual, useful information.

We’ll start with the Wii. The Guardian says, in part, “the graphics aren’t as pretty as its two more technologically advanced rivals, and really ground-breaking Wii games come along very infrequently.” OK, that’s true as far as it goes, but it doesn’t change the fact that they’ve sold a blue million of the damn things.

MX vs. ATV Reflex Tiger 30 Trailer

MX vs. ATV Reflex is now available in stores and THQ just released a batch of new assets to coincide with the nationwide release.

Bayonetta is a stylish and cinematic action game, directed by Hideki Kamiya. A witch with powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, Bayonetta faces-off against countless angelic enemies, many reaching epic proportions.

As a long-time RPG player, I’ve sunk countless hours of my life into games like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewind Dale. I’ve been looking forward to dropping all my other games and devoting myself to Dragon Age: Origins, the “spiritual successor” to Baldur’s Gate from Bioware.

I was lucky enough to get a chance to review both the PC and XBox 360 versions of the game, so I will try and give a few comparisons between the two. However, right from the start I should make one thing clear: This is a GREAT game.

One of the things that sets Dragon Age: Origins apart is the fact that you cannot simply talk about how the story goes. Depending on which race and class you choose for your character, you will play through one of six different introductions. Regardless of which intro you play, you’ll end up as a Grey Warden, a powerful warrior who is sworn to combat the spread of the Darkspawn blight.
