About Borderlands:

Borderlands is an original role-playing shooter from 2K Games and Gearbox Software that combines the intuitive reward systems of action role-playing games and the frantic-paced combat of first-person shooters. The game features a groundbreaking content generation system allowing for a near-endless variety of weapons and item drops. Borderlands allows up to four players to share the same game experience simultaneously online in co-op gameplay. Players can freely join or leave each other's games at any time, or choose to play in the full single-player mode. These features, along with a rich and deep fiction that touches upon the mysteries buried beneath the surface of a danger-filled planet, combine to form a breakthrough experience that challenges the conventions of modern shooters.
