    If you liked Fallout 3 you will love this game

    Borderlands was that game that you heard about but didn't really ever take a good look at. But i should have, I cant believe how much i love this game. This game feel like Fallout 3  Rpg Fps mix only with Really good shooting mechanics. its so fun to shoot things i will just drive around pandora and kill to my hearts content. And the guns. the game has a bank of different parts that it randomly generates when you open a gun case, so there are literally thousands of guns you could end up with. the story starts off very promising and for the first 1/3 is very interesting but about the time you get to New Haven i stopped caring about the story. (maybe i lasted longer then most i dont know) However the voice acting is great and funny, but there is always a underlaying Seriousness that gives you mixed reactions about a conversation, another parallel to earlier Fallout games.  The games art style is very impressive. I have been told that they tryed to make the game look like a graphic novel and they did.  Now the bad the story unlike Fallout 3 is not really there and the payoff for making it to the vault is not as great as you would want.  I hope we see much more of borderlands in the years to come.

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 ...
