Recently I popped in the PS3 version of Borderlands. I spent a little while in Pandora, which is where your mercenary foursome are treasure hunting. Lets see, Borderlands is post-apocalyptic science fiction mostly about survival. Players, up to four, can play together to accomplish goals in a RPG meets arcade action kind of way. Is it offensive? Does the M-rating fit? 15-year olds want to know!

The Retro Challenges of Game Center CX 2
Posted on November 8th, 2009 by
Retro Game Challenge came out earlier this year, and it was a collection of made-up 8-bit games and you had to pass certain challenges in each game to go onto the next. The beauty of this game is all the 8-bit titles were actually really good, and would’ve been able to stand on their own had they been real games to begin with. In Japan, they made a sequel: Game Center CX 2, and I found it on sale and imported it. So now here are the games on Game Center CX 2!
