The Scoop: Borderlands; By: Gearbox Software; From: 2K Games; For: PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360; Rating: Pending; ETA: September 1
Info: It's an RPG shooter by way of Diablo and Mad Max about a planet on the edge of the galaxy harboring alien ruins and other decidedly less pleasant things.
Matt: What do you do if you've just discovered that the planet your little band of pioneers colonized has a seven-year seasonal cycle, and the leap from winter to spring is waking up some unneighborly natives? Grab four buddies and start shooting? You sure can in Borderlands, which features four-player co-op along with vehicle-based combat. All that's missing is the Thunderdome--plus Tina Turner in turquoise chain mail.
Darren: This feels more like the Wild West in space--and if that could work for Firefly and Serenity, I feel obliged to give this game a shot. (Yeah, so the TV series got cancelled. You have me on a technicality.) Honestly, it didn't take much more to interest me in this game than hearing about a four-player action-RPG where I can drive cars with mounted weaponry.
