Well since I played borderland, I've gone around to playing a number of other games and while I am a part-time gamer it seems i'm even less of a blogger.
I never got around to finishing borderlands, for some reason it always ends up stuck on my to-continue-playing list. I'm not sure if its the story or the pace of the game but that's just how it is.

Anyway I played Crysis, the first one, after borderlands and I must say I liked it. The location game play was interesting, the addition of the capabilities of the Nano suit made it different from other FPS games that I've played while the scenery was amazing.
While there was nothing special about the weapons, the AI was pretty good plus the whole twist about Aliens and fighting them using "conventional" weapons made it challenging. The only I found hard to believe was that the North Korean Military had could stand toe-to-toe with the US marines and special forces and create their own Nano Suit...All in all I recommend that anyone new to the FPS genre play Crysis just tick it off the list of the must-play games of the genre.
From Crysis I moved on the Dawn of War:Retribution but that's a tale for another day.
