Here's what the ESRB has to say about Borderlands:
Rated M for Mature, ages 17+
Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Mature Humor, Strong Language
Rating summary: This is a sci-fi first-person shooter in which players assume the roles of mercenary treasure hunters on a mission to the fictional planet of Pandora. Players undertake missions/quests that increase characters' skills, eliminate an assortment of mutant creatures, and drive and collide with advanced alien vehicles. Players kill hundreds of enemies (e.g., human bandits and mercenary soldiers) over the course of the game by using a wide variety of guns (shotguns, sniper rifles), explosives, and special ammo types (fire, acid and electricity, etc.). The combat is frenetic, and enemies moan or scream when they are hit. Damage from weapons also results in large spurts of blood, dismemberment, and decapitation. When a human or creature is decapitated, an effect resembling a fountain of blood will shoot from the neck for a few seconds and stop. Some weapons cause enemies to split in half, the top being separated from the waist. During the course of the game, characters make jokes about streaking, body parts, rape, and mothers (e.g., "…more busted than my momma's girly parts"). Strong profanity (e.g., "f*cking," "sh*t," "p*ssy," and "d*ckbag") can be heard in the dialogue.
Yep, this game is definitely intended for a more mature audience. It was not intended for young kids and I'd say the ESRB did a pretty bang up job describing the content in the game. Do keep in mind though that this is more going for a graphic novel or comic book kinda vibe so it's all very over the top and not as extreme as it would be if it were represented in a more realistic manner. Here's a video for reference:
