Why It Made the List
There are few games on the list that outright surprised as many people as Borderlands did. A FPS-RPG from Gearbox Software, Borderlands' paltry story and shallow characters were easily eclipsed by its deep quest-based gameplay, sprawling environments and deadly enemies. One of Borderlands' greatest strengths, however, was its online cooperative gameplay as well as your ability to find literally limitless permutations of weapons in which to arm yourself with. Don't let Borderlands' laughable box art fool you; this is one hell of an engrossing game.
