In case you missed it, Gearbox recently released "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx," the third DLC for Borderlands. Destructoid has a review, for those who didn't uninstall the game two months ago. Money quote:
Unfortunately, Atlas isn’t finished on Pandora. They’re miffed at Mordecai and co. and have put a bounty on their heads, dispatching General Knoxx and a band of elite assassins to stockpile munitions for a renewed hunt for the Vault -- if a few Vault Hunters die in the process, so be it. Thankfully Athena, one of Atlas’ assassins, has gone rogue and wants to help you.
And this is a low point for “General Knoxx.” Gearbox didn’t make much of an effort to explain who Athena is or what motivates her, and any semblance of narrative is just an excuse to send you traipsing to a different part of Pandora. “General Knoxx” is clever and funny as always, and Borderlands real appeal lies in shooting people in the face, but it's certainly a narrative step backward, especially since the "Dr. Ned" pack was so strong in this department.
Wait...what?
