Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition on the Mac!

Load up on ammo, grab your favourite fire-spitting shotgun and hold on tight, because Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition is about to park its nitro-powered rocket launcher-equipped desert buggy on the Mac. Developed by the award-winning Gearbox Software, Borderlands is one of the most original, stylish and engrossing action games of recent years, and it’ll be in stores from December 3rd.

A first-person shooter spliced with the DNA of a role-playing game, Borderlands takes you to the scarred desert surface of planet Pandora. Ravaged and abandoned by mega-mining corporations, and populated by prison convicts, miscreants and bloodthirsty alien monsters, it’s a hostile land. You’re a fortune hunter determined to find and open the mythical ‘Vault’, an alien artefact of unimaginable power. Luckily for you, Borderlands’ random content generation system means you’ve got guns. Lots of guns.

Throw in gorgeous comic book graphics, a co-op mode for up to four players, and all four add-on packs included in the Game of the Year Edition, and you’ve got a gun-toting, loot-hunting, bandit-blasting epic on your hands. If you want to know more about the game and see trailers, screenshots and more, you’d best get scouting around the Borderlands mini-site. If you like what you see, you can pre-order the game now from our webstore. Happy hunting!
