Gamer Limit writes "It's no secret that Borderlands has had a reasonably rough week. Bugs, botched releases, patching problems and various other issues have plagued the little FPSRPG that could, with now buzz across social networks and the blogosphere showing upset in 2K Games's choice of Gamespy for matchmaking."

GameRanger Technologies today announced the addition of Borderlands to the multiplayer matchmaking service, GameRanger. Borderlands marks the 600th supported game after just a year since the PC release of GameRanger.

GameRanger opened to PC gaming in November 2008 with over 500 supported games. A year later, it has now reached 600 supported games with the latest major title, Borderlands. Unlike the built-in service, GameRanger solves router and firewall network problems automatically, making it simple to host online Borderlands games with friends.

"Borderlands provides a strong co-op experience that is best played with people you already know," said Scott Kevill, president of GameRanger Technologies. "I'm very pleased offer an easier way for Borderlands fans to play their friends online."

GameRanger runs on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and is available as a free download from http://www.GameRanger.com

"Gearbox has made their love of Diablo clear while working on Borderlands. They've straight-up said that they tried their best to copy the loot system, and the game can definitely be described as "Diablo with guns."

After playing through the game, it became obvious that they copied more than just the loot system, as seen in the image above..."

Ausgamers: In case the news that we'd be getting a low-violence version of Left 4 Dead 2 wasn't bad enough, it looks like the folks at Steam have made a slip-up while uploading the hotly anticipated PC version of 2K Game's Borderlands for Aussie users of the online content delivery service.

Gearbox Studios isn't opposed to changing the way people exchange loot in the fascinating RPS, Borderlands. The catch is that the crew behind the game will move in whatever direction the community wants to in the future -- not now.

"We were pretty careful there," Gearbox's Mikey Neumann said in a recent interview when asked if trade in the game would be expanded. "We wanted free-for-all looting for now. Then we'll look at what the community really latches on to or wants, and we'll move in that direction."

Neumann hasn't encountered a problem with loot-whoring like some complaining about the free-for-all, simply-drop system have been. If there's a dispute, Neumann says he settles it via duels with a hearty helping of the honor system afterward.
