Exactly what sort of fool do Gearbox take me for? What flavour of moron do they think I am? Unmoving sun my foot!

And then you notice that the planet of Pandora isn't lit by the sun. It's lit by moonlight, illuminated by a heavenly body suspended forever in one spot. A new moon heralds the dead of night, and a full moon equates to high-noon.

And that's a rather beautiful idea -certainly an original thought. Criticise Borderlands for its rat-like skags all you like, but you can't fault Gearbox on a design front.

Skags fulfil the role of cannon fodder, but crucially: they're not rats. Nothing is anything familiar, everything is frightening or at the very least interesting. Characters like Claptrap I say that as if Borderlands has more than just one interesting character will be fondly remembered for their bold presence on an otherwise desolate rock.

And the art style too - for bravely scrapping the original brown blur of a game and replacing it with this painting, Gearbox deserve a hundred million high-fives. Until I chuck myself into the co-op I'll reserve judgement on everything about Borderlands that isn't a lantern moon, a small rat-like creature or a wise-cracking robot. In the meantime.

Do You Remember Borderlands? It was a brown shooter, in Unreal Engine 3, on some alien planet. It had a giant monster with a vagina for a head. It boasted a roster of over half a million weapons, which were mostly variants on one another.

A pink shotgun that fires ice bullets. A blue shotgun that fireslasers. A blue-green shotgun that fires slightly smaller ice bullets. And so forth, like one of those 99, games-in-1 handheld LCD toys that counts different speeds of Tetris as independent games.

Well, it's changed. Gearbox have realised that their apocalyptic shooter looked like every other apocalyptic shooter in existence, and took a bold, commendable step towards creating a unique art style. It really does look beautiful, the bright, saturated stabs of colour leaping from the line-drawn backgrounds, coupled with the sketchy pen-shading on rocks and cliff faces.

Borderlands is pretty now. At the very least it's infinitely more memorable than it was previously. The premise remains untouched: an abandoned planet called Pandora has had its vast golden hoard plundered by enterprising space prospectors.

You are Rolland, one of the folks left behind in this alien Wild West, a world of skags, raks and dune buggies.

Co-op is at this game's core, an open-world adventure in which three of your friends can drop in and out at any time. Borderlands' RPG leanings are slight: while it's a tactile and responsive shooter your bullets will go where you tell them to , you'll level up and increase your stats as you play, moving into more and more dangerous territory as the game goes on.

Shanty towns act as quest hubs. From these locations, bulletin boards and locals dish out buttery missions and toasty tasks, from the rather mundane "kill 10 of these things" to the more exciting assassination jobs. Of course, mates are welcome on these trips - but play solo and the AI will hop in the driver's seat, orchestrating the actions of your fellow fighters. A PvP mode features in the form of Borderlands' arenas - underground caverns in which two players can duke it out at will, without fear of deathly consequences.

This generation system can produce over 17,, different weapons. In the distant future of the year , several colonization ships head to a planet on the edge of the galaxy: Pandora. The colonists are drawn there in search of a better life as well as vast mineral resources that are said to be on the planet, free for the taking.

Some time after settling, the colonists discover that the planet offers little aside from decrepit alien ruins. When the companies mining the planet leave, they let loose the criminals they had employed as forced labor and left any other colonists there.

Some of the settlers seek to get rich quick by discovering alien technology, most others are just trying to survive. Borderlands 3. A beacon of hope for the remaining colonists emerges in the form of a mysterious alien Vault carved in the side of a mountain. This Vault is said to contain vast stores of alien technology and secrets.

At any time or place, a player can melee another player to issue a challenge. If the melee is returned, a one-on-one duel starts. Players can also travel to arenas located at various locations in the game world.
