What Makes A Good First Person Shooter: A Series

it's nothing revolutionary, but it changes the outlook of a first person shooter and aligns it more towards something that qualifies as an ongoing story (like Half Life) rather than a game that just serves as a reason to warm your trigger finger.

most of what i enjoyed about the game had nothing to do with it being a FPS, from the puzzles to the hunts & everything in between. the storyline was pretty good and the goals and achievements you can get are pretty amusing.

i didn't initially find it anything spectacular about it until i started playing the game myself, when i noticed how different it was from the usual shoot-em-up tactical MMO bullshit that permeates the gaming world today.
