Title: Borderlands
Post by: GregX999 on December 06, 2009, 01:30:21 PM: Have many people seen the new PC/XBox game "Borderlands"?

It looks like it could be a good source of inspiration... I've been scouring google images for screen-shots to use as reference material. :)

Post by: Ironblood on December 06, 2009, 02:35:33 PM: I bought into the hype and pre-ordered it, 4 days after release I was completely bored with it. It may have 8294820984092348 guns but 90% of them are garbage. The game play is VERY repetitive. It's a 1st person space cowboy treasure grab without any real sort of interesting story. Not worth the current price imo especially if you want it just for terrain inspiration.

Horses for courses after all.

Vyper,
I went to www.fenrisgames.com, but there was not much there at all. I checked out their ebay listings as well - they have a lot of nice bases, but not much terrain. Did I miss something? Maybe you meant a different Fenris Games?

No, I mean my mate Ian and his latest work (lockers, crates and first aid cabinets) which will be on the website shortly.
