Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 blends the action of first-person shoot-‘em-ups and the story and gameplay of role playing games to bring back the excitement with more characters, items and definitely more guns!

Taking the best of Dead Island and evolving it even further, Dead Island Riptide is a gripping fight for survival featuring new vehicles, characters and weapons, as well as fresh levels, weather conditions and evolved multi-player options.
