The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

I wrote up a piece for The Secret Armory of General Knoxx -- the latest DLC add-on for Borderlands -- over at Joystiq. The biggest issue I had with it was just how crazy tough it was, for even my level 50 Siren with all of her SMG and melee buffs. I died so many damn times. Here's an excerpt:

I was in for a surprise as I set out for The Secret Armory of General Knoxx with a level 50 character, because as beefy as I thought my Siren was, she couldn't stand up to what was waiting for me at T-Bone Junction and beyond. Basically, I died. All of the time. I went from having around four million dollars in my bank account down to under a million before I even gained my first level in the DLC -- the hefty cost of respawning in the wilds of Pandora. And that's what made this whole thing so odd.

Head on over to Joystiq to read the whole thing.
