Even if you know a thing or two about games, shopping for a gamer over the holidays can be tricky. After all, some could play vintage games all day, while others thrive on anything cutting edge and brand new. But one thing's for sure — if the game is complex and challenging enough, it's sure to earn a place under the tree.
If you want to gift your favorite gamer with something fun this year, Borderlands 2 is sure to provide some thrills. A new era of shoot and loot, this game lets players take the form of one of four vault hunters who have to face a world of crazy creatures and an evil mastermind, fighting for revenge and redemption on a planet with twists and turns at every corner.
From the Siren and the Commando to the Gunzerker and the Assassin, Borderlands 2 gives players all-new characters to embody, each with a unique set of skills and weapons to choose from. We're talking dual machine guns, dual sniper rifles, and dual rocket launchers, just to name a few. There are multiple classes to choose from, giving each player plenty of fun options to work with.
In addition to the exciting cast of characters to choose from, players will also get lost in an exciting world-connected story, where you'll explore the frozen tundra of Pandora, exposing the insidious Hyperion Corporation as you take on the perpetrator of a universe-wide grand deception. And if that's not thrilling enough, the whole new slew of enemies, like gorilla-like bullymongs and vicious predatory stalkers, are sure to keep you on your toes.
Toting a rating of 4.5/5 on GameSpy and 90/100 on PC Gamer, it's clear that Borderlands 2 is a game worth exploring. Plus, players love that it's easily redeemable on Steam and exclusively Mac-compatible.
