Well guys here it is, Ign beat everyone to it. It's the PC review of the first person shooter/rpg game borderlands.

I haven't read it still so I won't comment on it until I do.

Kewl! From the games description its a must buy for me. They describe the game as a solid shooter even though its blended with RPG, it requires fast twitching skills in order to survive the amount of enemies you encounter. I find this to be great since Fallout 3 sucked ass trying to imitate a fps! Also, it's a game that's based on looting, so if you love rare items and such things then this game is for you also.

You can also invite friends to connect to your world very easy. The game scales up in difficulty as to balance it out and you have a better chance of getting rarer items, which should be enjoyable!

It also has some replay value, like when you finish the game you can replay it again with all weapons and stuff you gathered through your first play and play it again with an increase in difficulty and items rarity.

So, what do you guys think? Personally, I think this should be the most enjoyable game to buy if you like the RPG elements it has.

It looks pretty decent but I will have to watch the video review first before making a decision, which I can't do at work.

Personally after watching the video review posted above it an UBER looking game. I love the magna style graphics which I fell in love with as soon as TF2 was launched....TBH anything different on the PC gets a thumbs up from me as I think the platfrom is starting to slow down big time.

It looks so fun to play....cant wait to get my mitts on it.

I might have to obtain the PC version, I'll probably Buy it for the 360 just because of the Split Screen co-op.

LOL.

TO ME it looks like an okay game, but I honestly do not like the graphics used. I prefer graphics that try to simulate realism.

Actually, I would say Tomato, because it's spelled right. And it's more like 99.8%...just saying.

Sooo, you admit of buying a mediocre console at best to mate with your beautiful big ass plasma? Lol!

I fear to waste the money on it so I'm waiting for someone else to make that jump. lol. I am trying to find Demon's Souls for PS3 but it's IMPOSSIBLE to find - I called 11 different stores and none have it, even online sites don't have it.
