Tell me about Borderlands...?

[seawasp]

I've heard some good general buzz about the game, and I have heard that there's a sequel out or coming soon, but I've never played it or seen it played. Is it a game I'd enjoy?

Games I've played and enjoyed:
  A bunch of the JRPGs, with Chrono Trigger and Star Ocean and Persona at the head of the lists
  Fallout 3 and New Vegas
  Oblivion and Skyrim
  Dragon Age

Games I have enjoyed but found I can't play them for long before my aged reflexes betray me and I am filled with fail:
  Action-RPGs like Tomb Raider and inFamous

Games I don't really enjoy are FPSs.

  I've also been thinking about Mass Effect. Is it important to play ME1 before ME2 and ME3 or are they pretty much separate?

Alas, that appears to be Windows only, and I am either Mac or, preferably for games, PS3.

Fortunately the keyword is appears. Torchlight currently has a Mac version available. Runic is also plannig on releasing a mac version of Torchlight 2 but I can't tell you a timeline on that. Looks like the demo version of Torchlight is available for both Mac and PC. http://store.steampowered.com/app/41500/?snr=1_7_suggest__13

Torchlight is much fun. It's what Diablo 3 could have been. To wit: fun. :)

Also, Steam and Torchlight run just fine on Macintosh with Wineskin Winery.
