    Who's shocked? This guy is...

    This game had me in between.  I didn't think it would be worth all my money, but it looked so good!  So, with this black friday rolling around, I decided to grab it up and give it a try.  Probably the best decision in the last two months I have made.  This game is incredibly addicting and you will not realize the amount of hours you will put in, on the first playthrough!  Everything just feels right going into the game.  The controls work perfectly, the loot system is fun, and the presentation just wraps it all up.  Now I'm not even mentioning the RPG elements.  You can tool you're character in three different ways, according to each class.  So far, the soldier and the siren are my favorite.  You can choose what kind of character you want to play out as.  The guns just never stop changing as they all have different aspects to them.  Most of them look the same, but hey, who would want to make skins for over a bazillion guns?  The co-op is great and fun.  It's always good to know that you will have friends with you.    Overall, this game is worth the money, every penny.  If you've played this game, pour some for T.K. and kill some skags.

The player controls one person joining the hunt, but after about an hour th...

      Humor, character building, and guns. Lots of guns. 0

      I've been following Borderlands since it's unveil back in September 2007. Since then, it's been clear from the start what kind of game this was going to be. Sure, the art style changed, but Gearbox has delievered a product that does exactly what they said it would.  In Borderlands, the player chooses one of 4 characters. There is a Siren, a Berserker, a Hunter, and a Soldier character. All 4 characters have a unique action skill that is gained at level 5, and from there the similarities between ...
