Borderlands Guide

Say what you will about the glut of first-person shooters on the market, it's taking us to some interesting places. From Portal, to Mirror's Edge, to Fallout 3, we've seen the FPS bleed into other genres with surprising success. Borderlands is no exception. A new property from a developer better known for its expansions, it seems like something off an underdog, but the shoot 'n' loot combo is too tempting to resist, combine the best of co-op Diablo with intense FPS action.

It's a meaty affair, with 40 hours of gameplay in a world of 8 hour first-person shooters. Some of its secrets are easy to miss, but that's why IGN is here to help.
