OXCGN had the opportunity to have some Hands-on time with Borderlands the other day and meet with Randy Pitchford, who took the media through a 30 min walkthrough discussing the game, slip over and check it out, neat pics and 2 nice vids.

I was somewhat sceptical about Borderlands after it changed direction some months ago.

Though a huge fan of realistic style First Person Shooters, I didn’t like the look or feel of Shadowrun, or other similar ’sylised’ games, so I was disappointed when I saw the huge change in art direction.

I would rather that the shooter immerse me with realism than try and make it a comic book style of shooter. However, I must say, that after attending a recent Borderlands showing, and having some hands on time with the single player and co-op, I’ll be sticking this game in my Santa Stocking this year.

    I really preferred the aim of the game before they changed the style; it was a kind of grim perspective on a possible reality with what seemed like a very interesting story premise. Now it just feels like it doesn't take itself seriously.
