Mad Moxxi and the Wedding Day Massacre, the latest Headhunter Pack DLC for Borderlands 2, is a stark reminder that a solid gameplay foundation only counts for so much. At this point I'm looking for creative variations on the type of content Gearbox has already served up, and Wedding Day Massacre's...

Same Borderlands 2 fun

Lifeless environment; Boring quests; Unlikable characters; No gameplay twists

Just when it was starting to seem like there's only so much you can do to keep Borderlands 2 's brand of shoot-and-loot compelling, Gearbox rolled a 20. Indeed, it's hard to label Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep anything but a labor of love.

, + Five to seven hours of content; widely varied new settings; puzzles; many fantasy references

- Few fantasy-themed weapons or skins; experience sags somewhat when Tina's silent, ?

The latest DLC for Borderlands 2 takes the vault hunters to the swampy, dirty, uncivilized continent of Aegrus, where the sophisticated and gentlemanly Sir Hammerlock has invited the player characters on a hunting expedition.

High level; durable enemies - be ready for a challenge; Not one; but two raid bosses; A new Seraph Vendor and accompanying goodies

Short in duration; A bit lacking in features; Frustrating maps

Welcome back to Pandora! Borderlands 2 brings you back to your favourite planet to sink yourself in complete shootout mayhem once again. What's the difference? This time it's got more guns, more stuff to shoot at, more quests to complete and more of pretty much everything that you loved about the...

Exhaustive array of guns and loot; Funny dialogues; Engaging locations; Very good multiplayer mode

Campaign is too short

Addictive and effective shoot and loot gameplay; a bazillion guns; hilarious and fulfilling side quests

Poor vehicle combat; lack of visual customization; minor visual glitches

Hark at this, look: I'm a Borderlands addict. Maybe not as much as you are, you gaming freak, but it's still my favourite FPS. A bold statement, I know, but I'll take the original Borderlands over Half Life or Stalker any day of the week.

Excellent sequel; Massively pretty; Guns are fun

Odd jumping mechanics

Borderlands 2 deserves at least a nomination for Game of the Year 2012. First, let's get one thing out of the way. It's a lot-an awful lot-like the first game. The overall gameplay, character synergy, loot system, controls, and humor are nigh identical. Nighdentical.

87 billion guns mean the way you play the game is constantly changing; An improved story and even more over-the-top characters and jokes; Tailored to a rich; rewarding multiplayer experience that's entirely unique

So much like the first game; you might end up calling it "Borderlands 1-and-a-half.

Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty delivers mild-mannered humor and a satisfying adventure for you to shoot and loot your way through.

New enemies liven things up Lovely new areas to visit Some amusing characters and quests

Humor runs dry toward the end Some technical hiccups

The only downside here is that at some point the game may still feel like you're going through yet another generic loot fest, ultimately offering very little substance to those gamers who expect a richer story and a connection with the in-game characters.

This is a decent sequel that expands on a lot of the original's virtues; more to enjoy here than before; cool atmosphere and a great mix of FPS action and RPG gameplay; great music and sound

Not as exciting in single-player as it could've been; a lot of the game (the story) still feels generic

It is time to return to Pandora and loot more guns. Does the sequel bring enough to keep it fresh?

+ Genuinely funny; + Co-op is still a blast; + Love the visual style; + Plenty of loot to collect

Shared loot in coop; Lots of the guns feel useless
