Borderlands is a sci-fi RPS (RPG/FPS), a game with over 17 million different weapons, a large, open world, 2 player splitscreen and 4 player co-op. It's out for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

==============================================

The first DLC for Borderlands is called "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned" and is out now for the Xbox 360 PS3, and PC. Note that the PC version has unnecessary DRM, and you can revoke an activation http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=90096. Here are some reviews:

The second DLC for Borderlands is called Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, which a new game type that's sort of like Gear's of War's Horde Mode or Halo 3: ODST's Firefight. as well as a bank to store your weapons, though the bank only holds a few dozen weapons. It's out now for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The PC version has DRM, just like the first DLC, but no revoke tool has been released yet. Here are some reviews:

Seriously, it's a lot of fun in co-op, but I've been told that a lot of people have to forward ports to get the co-op to work. I was fine without having to do anything, but it depends on the individual machine, I think.

It's not that hard to forward ports. It took me less than a minute. http://portforward.com/ is a good tutorial.

Well, I didn't have to, but I'm sure a lot of people will find that tutorial useful - because loads of people have complained over at the gbx forums. So in their name, thanks

Here's a trailer for the new DLC:

http://www.giantbomb.com/mad-moxxi-explains-it-all/17-1813/

And Borderlands and the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned are 33% off on Steam today, if you want to get it on the PC for some strange reason:

http://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=Borderlands

I'm not sure when the sale ends though, possibly http://store.steampowered.com/.

Do any of you play Single Player? I'm starting to like it because it gives me time to poke around and choose weapons, whereas online it's always a bit of a rush.

[Thomas LEON]

Yeah, that's the one thing that always annoyed me about the multiplayer. Everyone seems to think it's a race to get the most kills and tend to run off and kill everything if you stop to compare some weapons or something. I like being able to take my time.

[Kevin S]

Yeah, pretty much that. Multiplayer with friends is fine (usually ) because no one has really gone rushing off or anything with me....but in random games, it's a bit of a pain :meh:

[Richard]

Would you like me to go rushing off with you?

[Juan Suarez]

Would you like me to go rushing off with you?

Depends where!

[butterfly]

Depends where!

Well, from Tuesday onward, no longer to crash-to-desktop-land, that's for sure!

[Justin Hankins]

Also annoying in public games is people leaving you die 2 feet away while they pick up loot, or where people kick you from a game because you pickup a gun someone wanted, they also want even though you killed the creature to get it.

Anyway I cant trust reviews that much so is the zombie island dlc worth it ? Has anyone on the forum got it ?

I just got it and got bored within a few minutes of playing it. Then again I have not played Borderlands in quite some time so it could be the whole game in general I got bored of.

[Nicole M]

I found it boring until I used multiplayer its more fun that way.

I was playing multiplayer alot before. But even that goes only so far.

[Cameron Wood]

It saddens me that I can no longer get into this game. I burnt myself out on it when it first came out. :sadvaultboy: It just got to repetitive for me mission-wise.

[Nims]

I just beat the main quest for playthrough 1.
