Borderlands!

Borderlands
Borderlands is an open world first person shooter from Gearbox Software and 2K Games. Borderlands was inspired by the awesome Mad Max film series and the Blizzrd game Diablo, it makes me think of FallOut3 blended with Left 4 Dead with a touch of WoW.

This FPS RPG title can be played single player or co-operativly. Players choose from one of four characters each with their own unique character class and special abilities. You charactor will level up through experience just like any other rpg and with the co-op play players can assist each other to fight the good fight. The beauty of Borderlands though is its random game play element along with 160 quests of varying length and complexity, 30 of these being part of the story and the other 130 as side quests. Many of these quests will not be mutually exclusive, and can be completed together. Gearbox wants to encourage the player to push themselves just a bit further to complete the next quest on their list. Each quest carries its own rewards, such as new weapons, or perhaps revealing a new piece of the story.

The Story
Future colonists journey to Pandora, a planet on the edge of the galaxy. Their drawn to this planet in search of a better life and the prospect of striking it rich by claiming the vast deposits of mineral resources. After arriving, they discover the planet is barren of anything of significant value other than deteriorated alien ruins scattered across the land. Those who can afford to do so leave Pandora, and those who remain devolve into chaos and lawlessness. Some settlers seek to get rich by discovering alien technology, but most are just trying to survive. After seven years, Pandora's orbit brings it to the transition from winter to spring, and many horrifying creatures emerge from hibernation. The colonists discover a mysterious vault carved in the side of a mountain that contains vast stores of alien technology and secrets. However, the people who discovered the vault were completely wiped out by some sort of protective force, and the only evidence of their discovery is a scattered radio transmission proclaiming the vault's majesty, but not its location.

Borderlands will be available for the PS3, PC, and XBox360 and the release date is set for October 20th, 2009.
