"You may have played games such as The Darkness, Hitman: Contracts, BioShock or Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. I bet you didn’t know that Plastic Wax was one of the companies responsible for the CG work that was put into those games. Pretty spiffy work, eh?"

"Borderlands, alternatively, has lots to offer as a shooter, as an RPG, as a vehicular combat-racer and as an overall interactive experience.

No matter what vehicle players will drive, each one can be equipped with a turbo booster that can send the vehicle into a warp-speed like speed boost, or extra weaponry to fend off baddies. ..."

"Even with a program randomly generating results out of certain parameters, the team still had to design a butt-load of triggers, barrels, handles, casings, ammo types, effects, palettes and everything else that comprises of a standard video game gun. This means that those 500,000 guns aren’t just simple toss-togethers, but are actually comprised of materials that players will have access to when customizing or modifying their own weapons within the game."
