Borderlands++

I picked up Borderlands Game of the Year Edition last month on the PS3.  A friend and I immediately started playing the co-op that day and loved every minute.   If you need a more in-depth review, check out metacritic as I don't want to break it down to the last detail, just go over the more interesting points.

My main character is the Siren and I like her phasewalk ability and ability to cause extra elemental damage with weapons.  Nothing says cool like dropping a room of badguys when you come out of phasewalk to corrosive damage.

The game has a seemingly infinite amount of guns and each on is a little different than the others.  Some bosses drop the same loot, which is nice because you can always know you can get something expected.  I havent found that the boss loot is all that useful as the random guns nearly always seem more useful.

This is also one of the rare games ive really enjoy playing online.  I haven't played an online game this much since Counterstrike.  Ive only played Borderlands online a handful of times but thats much much more than any other modern game ive owned.  Its cool to join up a game of low level players to help them out or start a game as a level 1 player and have other people help you out.  If someone gets really annoying or spends too long in a menu when you are trying to go to a new zone you can always kick them out of the game.  I find that there are 25 or so games going on the PSN at any given time in the evening so its not hard to find people to play with.

I nabbed the game for $20 on sale at GameStop with all the DLC included on the game disc.  The game is a steal of that price and if you have the ability, you should pick it up.
