It's time for another round of Pick One! This week, following the reveal of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, a spin-off of the Borderlands franchise, we thought we'd take a look back at the history of Borderlands on Xbox.
The series has only been in existence for just over a decade, but it's given us some true classics across Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. Which of these titles is your favourite? Remember, you can only pick one!
Let's take a look at what we're working with:
Borderlands (2009)
Borderlands places you in the role of a mercenary on the lawless and desolate planet of Pandora, hell-bent on finding a legendary stockpile of powerful alien technology known as The Vault.
Borderlands 2 (2012)
Face off against creatures, psychos and the evil mastermind, Handsome Jack. Fight alongside your friends, armed with a bazillion weapons, on a relentless quest for revenge and redemption across Pandora.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (2014)
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a role-playing shooter in the critically acclaimed Borderlands series. Play as four all-new character classes while carving a path of destructive mayhem across Pandora’s never-before-seen low-gravity moonscapes with all new moves, weapons, and vehicles!
Tales From The Borderlands (2014)
Tales from the Borderlands is a five-part episodic game set on the unforgiving world of Pandora between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3. This is a story full of Borderlands' trademark humor, following two adventurers on their quest for greatness.
Borderlands 3 (2019)
The original shooter-looter returns, packing bazillions of guns and an all-new mayhem-fueled adventure! Blast through new worlds and enemies as one of four brand new Vault Hunters – the ultimate treasure-seeking badasses of the Borderlands, each with deep skill trees, abilities, and customization.

1) Tales from
2) 2
3) 1
4) pre sequel
5) 3
BL2 (followed by BL3 and then BL1) was easily my favourite, but there are elements from the other two I wish was implemented in BL2, such as the Eridian weapons from BL1. I didn't like the Pre-Sequel and haven't played the Tales game, so make of that what you will.
2 and Tales are definitely a tier above the rest. After that I'd go 1, 3, Pre-Sequel.
I can't tell you how many times I've tried to start Borderlands 2 but never playing more than a couple of hours at most. I've played it on 360, then again on 360 with a friend, then on PS3, then on Xbox One twice and I've never managed to get past the first couple of levels. I don't know why because I absolutely loved the first Borderlands and I've played through it multiple times. I guess I'll have to give 2 another try one of these days but truly commit this time since it does seem like the best game in the series. For now though my vote goes to Borderlands 1.
Borderlands 1 & 2 were a couple of my absolute fave games ever, loved them both (although 2 is definitely the fave) but after 2 I had zero interest in playing another. Odd really but there we are 😊
The only one I ever played for more than 5 minutes was the Tales Tales one.
@LtSarge I was the same way. Had BL2 on the 360 and it just didn't click with me. Tried it several times and each time it didn't click. Then one day I went over to a friends house and played it on Xbox One. And been hooked ever since. Not sure why that happened though but glad it did.
@Tasuki Yeah I think the same thing will happen to me as well, I just need to avoid being distracted by other games.
Two, then one. Three wasn’t even worth the purchase.
