WP: What's the universe to do when there's only one star left? According to Gearbox and its upcoming shooter Battleborn, the answer is to get everyone together and shoot it out. Gearbox, the creative engine behind the tongue-in-cheek ethos of Borderlands, strikes me as the happy-go-lucky, maybe-drunken uncle of the first-person shooter landscape, which is typically bathed in the alpha intensity of franchises like Call of Duty or Halo. There's a goofball attitude that leaks through the pores of Battleborn, which brings together 25 of the universe's greatest warriors to fight for Solus, the last star of the universe and the key to all life. Naturally, whoever controls the star probably controls (or defends) the universe.
