Steam is in full swing with its summer sale, and today, a new batch of games are on discount, one of which is Borderlands. The price of which is slashed by 66%, making it a cool $10.19 impulse buy.

Borderlands was easily one of the best original games of 2009, if not the best original games of 2009 (read our review of Borderlands here).
