When I traded borderlands and fallout 3 in for MW2, I had finished Borderlands. Whenever I tried to play F3, one of my other games was sitting there, and I just thought "why aren't I playing that? I'd much rather." It never held my attention for long enough. It's not a bad game, but it takes some getting into. I'd pick up borderlands, smash it, then trade it in for fallout 3 if you really want to give it a go. Pick up pre-owned fallout with a traded in copy of borderlands for about £3-5 if you're in the UK.
