Those guys at ComputerAndVideoGames are lucky, lucky, lucky. They got some hands-on with Borderlands, Gearbox's "Gun Porn" shooter. Their impressions? Pretty damn awesome.

As a fast-paced shooter, Borderlands already delivers - weapons, enemies, co-op, and PvP action are all there and up to expectations, and looking fantastic thanks to the new art style. The question of whether it will be a game we'll want to keep playing revolves largely around how well Gearbox integrate the RPG elements, which were mostly only hinted at during my play. But CEO Randy Pitchford has wanted to make this game for a long time, and has no intention of wasting the opportunity.

absolutely love the new art style. i imagine because of this hyper realistic/ not realistic... ? comic book style/ concept art... look i think the animations will be really cool to see.

blood sprays, moving machines, things like that. props to the artists at Gearbox. finally an Unreal Engine3 game that stands out.
