Borderlands Review

By Adam Dolge (psu.com)

The ever-growing first-person shooter and role-playing game crossover genre has received its latest addition with the release of Gearbox Software's Borderlands. Set in Pandora, which has an old West style theme, you and three friends can set out on an ...

The co-op experience is one of the best on the market ; The countless loot scattered through the world ; The striking, artistic visual quality

As it should be in a role-playing shooter, the one item that you find more advantage than others, depending on the type of character that you play. During the demonstration at the Games Convention was a member of Gearbox with a standard soldier and a snip...

Borderlands

By Klammer Herbert (amazon.de)

Das Spiel ist zeitweise sehr schwierig, es sind die verschiedenen Aufgaben auch nicht wirklich abwechslungreich. Das Spiel lebt vor allem von der originellen Grafik, den vom Computer zufällig generierten Waffen (jede Waffe andere Charakteristika), und den

Ein absoluter Geheimtipp!!!

Eine verlassene Wüstenlandschaft, plötzlich stürzt ein Hundähnliches Monster auf den Bildschirm zu, doch in dem Moment wird es auch schon von einem Bus erfasst der durch die Wüste brettert. So beginnt das Intro von Borderlands, kurz dannach wählt m
