    One of the most Addictive games I have played in a long time!

    As of this writing I have a level 50 soldier and I am currently working on a level 5 Siren. Basically this game is very addictive! The loot system was the first part of the game to draw me in. I am always looking for the latest and best weapons. And if the weapon isnt that great then its off to the shop to sell those guns for cash. 
     
    The next aspect of the game that drew me in is the leveling up. Leveling up in this game is fun. Its fun because all you really have to do is perform the missions to level up at a nice pace. Sure you can spend hours leveling your character killing enemies but I feel its much faster to do the missions (even better with a few friends). Leveling up allows you to upgrade your character and tailor them to your likes which is cool. 
     
    I also love the fact that the game also tracks so many things in the games. Who would think that the game would track and let me know when I shot over 2,000 bad guys with my smg...crazy. These measures that are tracked are challenges that award you xp which helps in the leveling up of your character. This just really appeals to me. Add in the co-op (4-player) and the comedic style and you have a game that could keep you busy for a good while (Or atleast until Modern Warfare 2 is released on Nov 10) 
     
    Overall this is a very fun and addictive game that I highly recommend. Go get this and you wont be disappointed.

      Borderlands breaks the mould of other recent shooting games by having a lengthy single player experience with the option of co-op. The role-playing game aspects of levelling up and the barrage of loot unite with this shooting game to bring an addictive experience. The game's story tells of residents on the barren planet of Pandora on the search for a fabled secret vault rumoured to be filled with unseen alien technology. 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 ...
