Gearbox and 2K released the third DLC pack for Borderlands recently, and it's considered by many to be the best. The first DLC, Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, had gamers fighting off zombies while DLC #2 was arena based and featured Mad Moxxi. This third DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, picks up from the end of the original game and is packed with some great new features.

Borderlands expands again with its second major DLC release, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot. Unlike the original game and the first DLC, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Underdome Riot is focused solely on surviving wave after wave of CPU enemies. What you'll face in this DLC is not unlike the Horde mode from Gears of War 2 or Firefight from Halo. Underdome Riot also includes a new weapons storage bank that can be upgraded, but seasoned players looking for a new level cap or new quests won't find that here.

Many fans of 2K and Gearbox's Borderlands spent at least part of their Thanksgiving weekend playing the new DLC, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. This first of several upcoming DLC offerings puts players in Jakobs Cove, an area swarming with zombified creatures ready to gnaw at your bones.

As you probably know by now, Borderlands is a billed as a FPS and RPG hybrid that's been developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2k games. There have been FPS/RPG hybrids before on the PC, so how does Borderlands stack up?  

Gearbox Software, developers of the acclaimed Half-Life and Brothers In Arms series, teamed up with renowned publisher 2K Games to release Borderlands earlier this month. Borderlands is what Gearbox calls an RPS, a style of gameplay that is best described as an RPG crossed with a FPS. There have been first person RPGs before, but nothing quite like what has been done here with Borderlands. Let's take a closer look.
