Borderlands

Borderlands is a first-person shooter with role-playing character progression. You play as one of four mercenaries on Pandora, a lawless, desolate planet, searching for a legendary stockpile of powerful alien technology known as The Vault. You can play solo or join drop-in, drop-out online co-op for up to four players.
