Borderlands 2 has been an epically fun adventure to dive into. Any fan of the first knows the Borderlands title to mean crazy cell-shaded bandits, beasts, and other baddies to stand between you and your optional team of vault hunters. I thoroughly enjoyed the first game in the series. It offered a colorful cast of NPC's to interact with and help out along with a very MMO feeling level system that colored your damage and health throughout the game, mostly to prevent you from going too far ahead without properly leveling. With full co-op multiplayer in tow Borderlands 2 hits the bricks with a ton of smart talking characters and a new cast of vault hunters to tangle with this new storyline. Those who enjoyed the fresh look and feel Borderlands offers the FPS genre will not be disappointed by it's aggressively awaited sequel.
The Last Story is a new RPG released by the Mistwalker Corporation. Founded by the creator of Final Fantasy, these guys are responsible for Lost Odyssey (what a piece) and the Blue Dragon series. As veteran RPG designers, one would only assume these guys knew enough about how to create one to the specs and standards of any other JRPG out on the market. Well whether or not the know how to, they decided to break the mold in an incredible fashion with their latest story, The Last Story. In line with Xenoblade Chronicles, this seems likely to be one of the last great games to appear on the dying console. But if you still have some life left in your Wii, you need to check this title out.
