Borderlands

The game’s setup is one of linear plot missions, often issued by the Mayor of Newhaven, a sultry femme fatale with ‘Two Face’ scarring down her face, and a raft of side-quests that see you clearing out alien caves, searching for valuable kit or dealing with troublesome bandits. You’ll be accompanied by an odd lady called Lilith who’s become a smidge infected by alien powers beyond our ken, a hunter called Mordecai who’s turned a local beast into a loyal pet, and a man with a computer in his brain called Roland- much like Daryl from oft-forgotten ’80s flick D.A.R.Y.L. only with guns (and that’s the last comparison).
