#25 – Borderlands DLC: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned (X360)
DLC counts, right? Sure! Especially when it's in such a neat little package as Dr. Ned.
I blasted through this today. Do you like Borderlands? Do you like shooting the undead in the face with your shotgun? Do you enjoy a setting that mixes classic horror with humor? If you answered yes to any of these, you'll love The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned!
One word of advice though; as soon as you can get to Hollow's End, go straight to the shack in the most southwestern end of the map. There you will get a quest to collect zombie brains, of which you'll have probably already seen many of. Get started on this right now! And when you fill up on brains, go back and turn them in, because you'll be collecting more. You'll be making five brain runs in increasing numbers. I neglected to turn in my brains as soon as I was full of them and ended up having to chase down 100 more after I'd finished all the rest of the section's quests and I was quite aware of the necessity of completing these brain runs. If you don't start early you'll either be grinding for brains in areas you've already been through at least twice or you'll have to skip on getting that achievement.
I started on Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot and it's hard. It's all arena fighting with enemies tailored to your level. Going at it solo will probably be a lot harder than it has to be. I may hold out until a friend or two has it and we can grind through the arenas together.
The annual holiday Steam sales are killing me. I'm now the proud owner of Max Payne and Max Payne 2. I've never played the first and I barely started the second. So far the first is good if a little difficult!
