You begin by choosing one of four mercenaries, which each have their own skill sets and special abilities. Once in the game, you take on quests via NPCs and bounty boards to accumulate experience, money, and items. Since its launch, there have been three official DLC packs for Borderlands, called The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, and The Secret Armory of General Knoxx.
The game's reception has been positive with most reviewers giving it between an 8 and 9 out of 10. That said, it's worth noting that the PC version is generally accepted as the worst, mostly for feeling too much like a console port. Borderlands has pretty modest system requirements, such as a 2.4GHz P4 CPU, a GeForce 8600 GS or Radeon HD 3000-series GPU, and 1GB of RAM.

Yay, saw this right before this news blip was posted and purchased!
Steam is really good about having these sales on games that I've been waiting to buy. But my bank account is hurting because of it
Just installed and played through the introductory stages. So far the game is pretty fun and the style is really refreshing. No qualms so far about the game feeling like a console port -- I've seen much worse. This is pretty slick.

Yeah. Bought it as well. Those Steam discounts are horrible. Oh well they are fun
-
I was waiting for this price at Xmas but it never came . Grabbed it as soon as I saw it - good fun to play already.

BTW, same price at Direct2Drive.
