    Gearbox has no idea what made the first Tales From The Borderlands so good. Even more bizarre: they also seem to have no idea what humor is. New Tales is painfully unfunny and also way too expensive for its length.

    Despite its impeccable art direction, New Tales from The Borderlands is ripped apart by its subpar, glacially paced narrative and miserably unlikeable ensemble.

    We can scarcely recall an occasion where we were more disappointed by a sequel than New Tales from the Borderlands. We wanted to love this. We'd have accepted liking it. But we hate this game. This is a ten-hour narrative adventure that feels four times as long as it needs to be, with dreadful characters, and appalling, relentlessly unfunny jokes. It's a spectacular misfire, its only success to speak of being the rare example of a sequel so bad that it ruins the original, too.

    Modern Warfare 2 delivers thanks to incredible detail and gunplay but the repeatability of some missions takes the edge off an otherwise polished single-player experience. [Campaign Review Score = 80]

    I made an account for this but I just really think that Gearbox doesn’t know who their audience is anymore. This is not what we remember.

    It is an interactive comedy movie. If that that's not your thing, than shut up and continue to shoot each other in MW2. I don't yuck on your yum.

    i love the Borderlands series, been playing it since the original Borderlands 1 on xbox 360, but this is utter garbage.

    The Humour is awful
    i love the Borderlands series, been playing it since the original Borderlands 1 on xbox 360, but this is utter garbage.

    The Humour is awful and out of touch and just plain unfunny bordering on trying to hard to be funny, the voice actors and characters in general are annoying and boring and just plain stupid, playing as a stupid buck tooth man child like octavio is really getting on my nerves, i mean if you wanna make him dumb go ahead, but he has the IQ of a 1 year old.

    Fran is trying so hard to be Ellie from Borderlands 2, this game should have never been told, also whoever told the Animators to make their faces look like a used condom when they're expressing themselves needs to be fired.
