I'm a Borderlands player. I love that game man, it combined my love of Diablo and FPS perfectly.
And lets not forget "STRIP THE FLESH, SALT THE WOUND!! AAHAHAHAHA!". Plus admit it, you still laugh every time you hear Brick going apeshit in Berserker mode. He laughs like a lunatic as he punches the shit out of everything he sees.
I would definitely recommend Borderlands to anyone that likes FPS games and RPG's. It's the only shooter I know of with random item drops. You build up your skill trees like in Diablo, but the items enemies/chests drop are guns (Repeaters, Revolvers, SMGs, Sniper Rifles, Assault Rifles, Machine guns, Explosive or Shotguns) and they can have any look, color or stats on them. Everything from accuracy to reload rate to clip sizes to fire rate is generated on the spot meaning everyone has their own unique gun. Also 4 classes to choose from that each add their own elements and perks to combat. Soldiers can become medics to heal or they can lay down turrets that support you, snipers can specialize in weapons or scavenging etc.
It's a sweet fuckin' game in co-op but it's fun even when you're by yourself. It's just best you stick to playing with people you know since even on XBOX Live there are hackers and shit that ruin it for everyone. Closed private co-op games for the win. Borderlands sense of humor and the fact it never takes itself seriously is the key to why it's fun, the game was built from the ground up with the idea of friends laughing and having a blast.
My only complaint it that it's a little easy if you do all the quests. You pretty much HAVE to skip a lot of sidequests to keep the enemies and yourself at a fair stance, otherwise you 1-shot everything by about 3/4 through. Enemies are too low a level to keep up with the amount of XP you are given for quests. Oh and sometimes there are TOO MANY drops, it gets annoying later on when you are still finding tons of rusty revolvers and shit and your inventory is small.
