Review: Tales From The Borderlands: Episode 5 – The Vault of the Traveler (Microsoft Xbox 360)

///////

From the beginning, the idea of a Borderlands game as a narrative-heavy affair from Telltale Games struck me as a potentially weird mix. So here’s the thing: it worked. It worked so well in fact, that now we have the last episode accounted for, I can say that this was…
