Borderlands fuses elements of two genres that I consider not only the most fun (shooters) but also the most deep (RPGs) into the surprise hit of the year. In single-player it’s a compelling post-apocalyptic journey; in co-op the game truly shines as an amazingly addictive, well-crafted title. I hope that Gearbox continues this game and builds it into a full-fledged brand.

Cliff may be responsible for the tightly focused Gears of War, but he is speaking a different language here. There is nothing gratifying, substantial, or engaging about Borderlands; rather, it borrows from different genres and creates a completely uninteresting (and insulting) mess of a video game. But I know he got the second part right.
