So I'm looking for a third game to get for free in the Best Buy's 'Buy 2 Get 1 Free' sale and I'm torn between the previously mentioned.
Borderlands looks good but there are still a few bugs out there, a few game-breaking. I also wonder how well the multiplayer will hold up in the coming weeks. And I wonder if the price will drop relatively soon, due to sale or poor sales.
Forza 3 is a different situation. I've never really gotten into sim racing games before, but F3 is supposed to be really helpful in that department. I also imagine this will have long legs so no multiplayer concerns. Due to this being a first party game, I expect the price won't go down for a while.
This is my dilemma and I just wanted to see what GB thinks. In all likelihood, I will probably make a decision right then and there and be happy with either choice.
Borderlands or Forza 3?
If you dont like racing, or cars, you wont like forza 3.
I like racing and cars, and i still dont like forza 3.
Both, but I would have to pick Forza 3 over Borderlands simply because of my allegiance to the franchise.
I would say Borderlands as well but perhaps you could mention what the other two games are that you're buying to get the buy 2 get 1 free deal?
Maybe you should get both Forza 3 and Borderlands and trade out one of the other games :)
"@mordecaix7: Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank "ooo... that is hard... I don't have a PS3 but I REALLY want to play both...
I'd still put my vote in for Borderlands. You can't give up Uncharted 2 or Ratchet and Clank.

I wasn't interested in Borderlands until I watched the GameTrailers video review, and somehow it just clicked on me. I have the game and it's highly addictive and entertaining... and I'm not even playing online!
I would say Forza since you are already getting a shooter and one kinda shooter. Forza will last you a long time, and has more replay since all borderlands is, is basically a single player game with co-op, whereas Forza has multiplayer too. If you don't have a few friends with Borderlands, I wouldn't get it.
Boderlands is a poor mans Fallout 3 with terrible graphics and highly repetitive gameplay, and it will take you only 18 hours to see everything that the game has on offer (main story and sidequests). Jeff said in his review that yes there are loads of weapons, but you end you sticking to 1 throughout the game as there's no incentive to switch. The online mode will be dead in month and you're better off missing it anyway as there is no proper trading options, which is odd considering that the whole point of the game is collecting things. It's short and it will be cheap to buy pretty soon, so go for Forza 3, an amazing game that will last you 10 times longer than Boarderlands...
" I bought both, but I haven't even tried Forza yet, Borderlands is keeping me away from it! I say Borderlands! "same lol. i also bought need for speed shift a couple weeks before that. i'm playing shift and borderlands right now. a couple weeks before that i bought uncharted 1.
Personally, I would say swap R&C to get both Forza and Borderlands, but if you're a fan of R&C I guess I can't change your mind. If you have any inling of an interest in cars, go to Forza 3. If you like RPGs and shooters, go Borderlands.
Don't listen to the dude above who said Borderlands is a poor man's Fallout 3 - they are totally different games with different strengths and weaknesses.
