Borderlands - An example of good sound in gaming

Why does Borderlands have great sound? The sound control as seen in the introduction when the driver is talking over the loud music ranges in stereo volume. Quality of sound is very detailed on emphasis because we are able to hear the obvious splatter when the monster got hit by the truck. The music sets the mood for game play, being very humorous and laid back in the introduction while serious when the players get dropped off and is left alone for the adventure.

The sound effects such as the guns shooting and enemies lurking heard from the direction corresponds to the stereo audio, giving the experience a surround sound effect. Although this clip doesn't show it clearly, other game play clips on youtube will demonstrate it.
