    I would go as far as saying that Borderlands is a must have game for fans of first-person-shooters  and for fans role-playing-games, as it does such a great job of tying the two together into hybrid of sorts.

    Borderlands is one of the most pleasant surprises of 2009 – who could have known a cel-shaded FPS with oodles of loot and some lite RPG elements would work so well?
