Turkish PS3 website PST reviewed Borderlands. Here is the summary;
With it's cellshade graphics, Borderlands is a great looking game. Nice animations and enemy designs are impressive and help to create a Mad Max-like world.
Borderlands aims to create a new baby; FRPS. Even they fail to reach this aim, game is very entertaining. In action, it shows that you are playing a pure FPS game. But when it comes to character progression, you are starting to see it's RPG roots. With it's user friendly menu, Borderlands is easy and fun to play. The game has an huge map, so you can find lots of places to explore. In first 1-2 hours, trying to reach places by walk can be dull but when you get special features, you can use cars and even use buses to reach your destination shortly.
Because of some minor problems, we can not say this game is a badass classic but these can not change the fact that Borderlands is one of the greatest games in 2009.

The developers behind the original Borderlands discuss their last-second Hail Mary to change the course of the franchise.
ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that
Pure Arts Reveals Borderlands Collectible that fans should l8ve.
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.
