10. Borderlands 2
Borderlands showed us it was possible to create an action RPG with the intensity of a real first person shooter and the compulsive loot-grabbing/collecting design philosophy of Diablo. It did so by marrying the two genres in a fusion of science fiction and a post-apocalyptic motif, and presented it with all the flare of cel-shaded visuals.
Borderlands 2 is set to offer all of that same charm, but with four new characters, more environments, proper multiplayer and an ambitiously crafted story—also taking place on the planet of Pandora—this time around.
