I feel so useless, making Xeph review all the games. Haha. No, I'm kidding. He's lost without me. LMAO. Anyway, moving on...

I'm --We're here to review a game we enjoy playing together, well, 'cause it's co-op and it's fun and fun-ny. Lol. Ladies and Gents... Borderlands was seriously made to make you laugh. In a good way. It is not your typical FPS as there is an RPG element added to it. It makes murder look fun and, really very exciting. Let us first get to know the story and the main characters...

The game starts with 4 people riding on a bus, Mordecai, Lilith, Roland and Brick. Mordecai is basically a hunter who prefers using snipers, a sharp shooter in the literal sense. He also has a pet, bloodwing, which helps damage or kill enemies when released. Lilith plays with elements and plays it good, you can choose to mess with her or you can just walk away, either way, she will own you. Elements aren't her only toys, she also has a wide variety of skills to help you... die. Not to mention all those weapons. Tsk. Tsk. Roland is our well appreciated soldier, he can heal allies, and he can deploy a shield turret. He is proficient with all weapons but is exquisitely good at assault rifles and shotguns. The fourth, and well if I said not the least it wouldn't do justice, is Brick, our resident tank. I could give him some shotguns and explosives, but that won't be fun would it? I'd rather watch him pulverize you with his fists, as if that isn't enough. Ha! Okay, so the game is set on a planet called Pandora which is filled with aliens and valuable resources. After choosing between the four characters I just introduced, you will be starting your search for the vault. And you are asked to finish quests on the way. Claptraps --robots, basically-- will help you on the way as well as a beautiful woman which appears on your screen from time to time called "Guardian Angel".

Let's move on to the game play, shall we? Like I said it's an FPS with an RPG element added to it. How, you ask? How you play it is completely FPS, however, you also level up and you gain skills not to mention those quests... you gain money, but you can farm for your things, because mobs drop them and so do the bosses. Skills have elements too. Some are active, some are passive and some are for support purposes. This game can be played alone, but I would recommend you to play it with friends. It's much much enjoyable that way. Guns also vary, you don't just pick one up and shoot, they have value. Like in RPGs, they vary from colors. And names as well. As if the story line isn't enough to consume your time, side quests are also given. Free roam is also another way to describe it. As you level, the mobs level with you, I mean they have the same level as you, who would mind a little challenge? I know I don't. There are exaclty two playthroughs and a max level of 50. 1 playthrough is not enough, believe me.

I can't even begin to describe and evaluate the equipments. There is too much of them! And the guns, oh the guns, 17 million of them waiting to be discovered and used, skillfully I hope. I suggest you leave your life for a moment, as this game is time consuming. So, how about it? Why not give Borderlands a go?
