A Cooperative Borderlands Review

Note: I enlisted the help of OXCGN’s Arthur Kotsopoulos in Australia to take a different look at the time sink that is Borderlands. This cooperative effort at reviewing the cooperative game also ran on OXCGN.com.

Borderlands [review]

First person shooter gamers and role playing gamers do not really mix that often. The former enjoys the thrill of a headshot and multiplayer melees while the later is hooked by personalizing their character and looting new gear from dungeons. Borderlands takes a little from each genre and adds enough cooperative elements to create an addictive game best played with others. Whereas Fallout 3 was a role playing game first and a shooter second, Borderlands is the opposite.
