Gearbox's Borderlands has been capturing the attention of the people ever since its hot new graphical style was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. Now, after all the screenshots and magazine scans, Borderlands is finally available in moving picture format, and it's looking incredibly promising. It's like Mad Max meets Crackdown, and that's a very sexy combo.
Hit the jump to view the video and let us know what you think. All I know is, I'm bummed I'll be too busy to check it out at E3 personally. Somebody will be there though, and we'll give you the full coverage.

@okstuke: this is nothing like crackdown.
Yeah it really looks like XIII, just ten times prettier!
...awesome.
But like I said, I can't wait to see this title.
I know, conceptually speaking they couldn't be any different...but for all the hubbub about the new visual style, the graphics look real damn similar to Crackdown's. I'm still pumped either way.
Wait.
Anyway, I wasn't sure how the new art style would look and if it would look any good, but this was definitely the right move on Gearbox's part. It's pretty, it will look good in high definition, and it's look will set it apart from other games, helping sell it. Smart move.
I'd like to know if it's actually worth playing.
Need more journalism, Jim. That's hardly enough video!
