Game analyst Michael Pachter thinks that Borderlands will be trumped by fellow blockbusters this holiday season, and is effectively “sent to die”, according to Pachter. When asked on Bonus Round what he thinks of the game and its release, Pachter noted,

“Sent to die. I think “Borderlands” is the definition of a game that should have had its own window and not be up against all this stuff. It’s absolutely the same audience. I don’t think it’s as much an RPG as they would like us to believe. If it’s an RPG, “Dragon Age” is going to kick its butt; and if it’s a shooter, “Call of Duty” or something else is going to kick its butt.”

Borderlands hits the stores today.

    Make it $30 and I’ll go buy it today. The problem with games these days is that they’re $60 so I buy only a few per year.
