Downloading it right now... From all the fun shorts (previews) this game looks fun! If anything for me it is something to play at work instead of Rainbow Six Vegas 2... That happens to be where I am... At work board until this is done downloading...

I only played 2 missions to know that this game is set up just as I thought it would be. Grand Theft Auto 4 but a side story just like The Lost and the Damned. The 2nd mission was fun, after I finished it I went back to play golf! Got my 1st achievement on the first try. If you like the GTA games then 1600 MS points isn't that bad. If you never got GTA4 just buy the 2 for 1 at the store otherwise you have to have GTA4 popped in the tray to play the download like me. This should be a fun game and make me laugh like the others have in the past!

Is this DLC gonna remain exclusive to the 360 or is it a timed thing where we'll eventually see the content on the other versions of GTA 4? Truthfully I think it's a disservice to a large number of fans who have been playing GTA since the PS2 days,and beyond,to keep this content from so many non-360 owners. Rockstar would make way more money if more people had access to their DLC,IMO.

Great Review! I generally steer clear of video reviews on the site in favor of print, but this was really well done. I'm about a third of the way through the game and really have to agree with all of the main arguments of the review.
The expansion is more GTA goodness executed in a way that both feels familiar and yet presents enough new elements in a unique that allows TBoGT to differentiate itself from both the main GTA4 story arc and The Lost and The Damned expansion.
If you're a GTA junkie like myself, you won't want to miss this latest fix. If you don't care for the series or free roaming crime dramas, explore other options. I hear this Modern Warfare 2 game might be getting some buzz...

- Borderlands: Video Review
- Oct 21, 2009
- Striking a smooth balance between FPS action and RPG design, Borderlands is a satisfying post-apocalyptic adventure that's great when played solo but is even better when experienced with a group.
