Now I've played both of the Borderlands games, haven't tried the Pre-sequel yet, and I've played other Telltale Games. But there's something about Tales From The Borderlands that feels right at home in the craziness that is the Borderlands universe. Yes it's a point-and-click affair but everything Borderlands is here: loot and loot chests, guns, psycho migits, over-the-top badass action and lots of laughs. By the end of my playthrough I wanted to drive right back into Zer0 Sum and make different choices to see the outcome.

Microsoft reveled that starting in April all new Xbox LIVE Arcade games could possibly increase their max Gamerscore points from 200 to 400. Great news for the achievement lovers.
