Borderlands 2 on Xbox 360 takes the original’s chaos and turns the dial past eleven. Released in 2012 by Gearbox Software, this wild shooter-RPG hybrid drops you back on Pandora—a wasteland where everything either wants to sell you a gun or use one against you. Spoiler: it’s usually the second option.

1. Four vault hunters, each with their own absurd skills and special moves. Want a turret buddy? A ninja? A walking tank? Take your pick.
2. Over-the-top guns that border on parody. Rocket launchers that fire rockets that fire rockets. Shotguns that explode into more guns. Yeah, it gets ridiculous fast.
3. A villain (Handsome Jack) so smug you’ll be itching to take him down from the first sarcastic line he spits out.

This is where looting meets laughter—Borderlands 2 doesn’t take itself seriously, and that’s what makes it legendary. The cel-shaded graphics still pop in all the right ways, the humor is delightfully unhinged, and co-op turns every firefight into a comedy sketch with bullets.

Whether you’re in it for the massive arsenal, the off-the-wall story, or just the joy of setting psychos on fire, Borderlands 2 delivers that addictive “one more mission” loop. Buy retro games on Retro Games eXchange and relive one of the best chaotic co-op shooters of its generation.
