I don’t remember Borderlands winning a lot of Game of the Year awards (there is at least one according to Wikipedia), but why should that stop 2K and Gearbox from dropping a Game of the Year edition on us? The Borderlands Game of the Year Edition will hit retail on October 12, 2010 for XBox 360, PS3, and PC.

Borderlands is a game that I would definitely call stupid fun. And I mean that in a good way. It was, without a doubt, my favorite way to shoot people in the head in 2009, marrying the rampant item collection of Diablo with four player co-op online play and just the right amount of RPG elements. The only thing it lacked was what we in the industry call “a story”, but that didn’t really get in the way of the fun.

The Borderlands Game of the Year Edition will include the original game, plus all four DLC packages (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx and the recently announced but not yet released Claptrap’s Robot Revolution.

If I didn’t already own the game, I’d definitely be picking up this edition. But it goes without saying, this one definitely ain’t for the kids.
