Play The Border Lands in your browser right now!

Borderlands 2 is still a month away, so if you wanted to kill Psychos and Skags right now you would have previously been forced to go back to Borderlands for your fix. And while that might be a great option for some, what about those people who are currently at work? Fortunately, Gearbox Software aren't as selfish as you are, releasing a The Border Lands - 16-bit browser-based demake for everyone to get in on.




A demake, for those unfamiliar with the term, is a re-imagining of a game as if it were made on older tech. Recently demakes have seen a surge in popularity, with many titles getting treated - including Team Fortress 2, Halo, DJ Hero and Left 4 Dead (all made by one talented individual) and Fallout 3 has two of them - an official JRPG style demake created by Bethesda and a fan-made demake in the style of the original Fallout titles. Serious Sam fans will no doubt remember the slew of indie demakes created to promote Serious Sam 3 too. Demakes are popular stuff.

So go and play some Borderlands in your browser! If you want to have a really easy time, find a Rail-gun or Eridian with two way shooting - nothing will survive your slaughter. It might get a little dull after a while though. How far can you get? Let us know in the comments below!
