Wow, so many good games in so little time. Why the hell did they have to sandwich them all in the same freggin' month!? A few months back I was starving for next-gen RPGs and now I have 4-5 of them coming out in a 60 day time frame.

Anyhow, the one I've been waiting for is Borderlands. Been watching its development for quite som time now, and unlike some, I don't care if they shifted towards cell shaded graphics. To me, it's more about the gameplay elements in this type of game. It's basically Diablo / WoW meets a first-person shooter. The only other game I've ever seen that comes close to this mix of genres would be Hellgate: London, which I absolutely loved and put in at least 250 hours in, if not more. So, in that regard, I have high expectations for the gameplay, but I'm guessing Gearbox Software won't disappoint.

The official console release date is tomorrow, and I'm hoping I'll be able to find it tomorrow and take advantage of a crazy deal we Canadians don't often see. Much like Walmart's temporary Batman Arkham Asylum deal of $39.96 brand new, Borderlands will be sold for that same price at Walmart, Futureshop and Best Buy, for who knows how long. I actually cancelled my amazon.ca pre-order when I found out about that. A $30 savings is huge, specially considering the amount of cash I've spent on games these past weeks.

In any case, I'll have my hands full with gaming for a while now. Demon's Souls, Borderlands, Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition and of course the upcoming Dragon Age: Origins in November. Winter will go by fast at this rate!
