More than a few Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will probably be grateful for that fact. It’s also one of a dwindling number of games that are leading on the last-gen consoles, rather than being ported downwards. For the rest of us, who simply love the Borderlands mix of FPS mayhem, sweet loot, Diablo-style upgrading and humorous dialogue, The Pre-Sequel is an opportunity to get a little more of it, albeit with a handful of twists. Developed by 2K Australia rather than Gearbox itself, it’s more of a hyper-extended DLC pack than a sequel as such, filling in some of the blanks between Borderlands 1 and 2, for those few who have even the slightest interest in the over-arching plot. Is more of the same always a bad thing? In the case of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, maybe not. Available on Xbox 360, PS3 (reviewed), PC
