Borderlands

Borderlands is a first-person, role-playing shooter released in October of 2009 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Windows Microsoft operating system. It is an innovative game that combines traditional RPG elements — single/co-op quests (up to 4 players), character reward systems, and random level generation — with the frantic-paced combat of a first-person shooter. Users can choose from 4 playable characters, each of which possesses unique abilities and skill trees. And as the player battles and earns experience, he or she can then invest in a wide range of upgrades, each of which contributes to a specialty. The result is a fully customized character that is tailored to the player’s unique playing style. Additional notable features of Borderlands include 160 quests of varying length/difficulty, over 3 million difference weapons to choose from, and the ability to engage in one-on-one dueling with other players.
