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.
