Ausgamers:
Borderlands was definitely the game of the show for me at GamesCom this year. I have a heavy FPS bias as a general rule, but this looks like an interesting and refreshing take on the genre, opening up new doors for it with the addition of RPG elements that look carefully integrated to add depth to the game without impacting the focus on action. The drop-in co-operative play is hugely attractive, especially if it works as seamlessly on PCs as it looks like it does on the console version.
Borderlands looks like it will have a lot of appeal to a wide variety of gamers. Stay tuned for this one.
The developers behind the original Borderlands discuss their last-second Hail Mary to change the course of the franchise.

Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.
"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"
Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.
No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)
So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
Sleeper hit 09
will be one of the best games this year due to the co op and weapons features.
Hopefully it turns out to be as good as it looks, and then hopefully it doesn't get overlooked as it's coming out on the same day as Uncharted 2, and only a matter of weeks before MW2.
I'm planning to get it day one, it looks exactly my type of game!
