borderlandsreview

While this review may seem to have arrived somewhat late, cmfl3x and I recently agreed on an article writing system here at Leveling Down that differentiates between impressions and reviews. Going forward, please keep in mind that when we write “impressions” articles, it means we’ve played a bit into the game, and are therefore writing what our initial impressions are. Reviews, meanwhile, will only be named as such when we want to write about a game that we’ve completed already so we’ve fully realized what the game has to offer. Often times if we come out with impressions for a game first and do not put out a review later, it implies that our initial impressions carried through the rest of the game and it wasn’t necessary to “set the record straight” by writing a review of the game after completing it. Borderlands doesn’t quite fall into the category of being exactly the super awesome game I professed it to be in my initial impressions, and so I want to follow up on it with this review now that I’ve collected the 1000 Achievement points.
