First Borderlands Legends Update Delivers Improved Controls, New Loot And More
February 9, 2013
Borderlands Legends, the iOS spin-off game of the acclaimed Borderlands console game, has just received its first update.
Borderlands Legends was released late October last year, nearly a month after the launch of Borderlands 2. Based as it was on a hit video game franchise, Borderlands Legends was expected to be at least an above average game. But it fell short of expectations as critical and popular reception turned out be rather lukewarm.
For the most part, Borderlands Legends has been criticized for its awkward controls and frustrating gameplay.
Fortunately, Borderlands Legends developer 2K Games has released the game's first update, with the aim of addressing some, if not all, of the game's issues.

Normally available for $4.99 and $6.99, respectively, Borderlands Legends for iPhone and Borderlands Legends HD for iPad are now available for $0.99 each. [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]
