I’m writing to inform you that First Person Shooters have come along way since back in the day, often a Saturday, often a night rather than a day. Halo, created by Bungie, became a great staple in the diet of many console and PC playing fratboys at the turn of the century. The college players who had less time to study and more time to shoot each other over archaic internet connections and curse at one another. A time long before Call of Duty Elite, Premium Packages and subscription services. "
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.
I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.

The review in question really is bizarre. Comparing Borderlands 2 to COD, and heavily criticizing it for lacking the same kind of competitive online multiplayer, is pretty bad form.
Borderlands 2 may feature FPS action, but it's a completely different genre at the end of the day. And I'd take Gearbox's shooting, looting, side-questing and exploration-based co-op over COD's team-based deathmatch any day of the week - especially given how entertaining and colourful the gameworld is.
There is a difference between grammatical mistakes and poorly written, this would be the latter. Furthermore, why on earth is this author defending a game they have yet to play? I love me some Borderlands, but don't be silly.
