    AmI the only one that thinks shooters are definitely not worth the money? I mean, most of the stories hardly last 10 hours. How can that be fun?

    @Austin Stephen: I agree with you but not for the short game length. I'm actually Ok with a game that lasts 10 hours. But 10 hours of shooting shit? Nothankyou.jpg


    At least some games do a good job of breaking up the monotony with driving levels or stealth or whatever, but even that is getting completely overdone. I'll take a game like Kameo, or Zelda, or Tombraider over "Generic Space Marine Stomper Volume VII" anyday. I recognize some people just want more and more steroidal heroes blowing shit up, and therefore, I'm totally cool with these games existing and even doing well, but my interest in them is only as far as they are important to gaming culture. For example. I didn't really care for CoD4....at....all. But I played the whole thing through because I know how much of an influential game it was and I like to understand what everyone is talking about.

    I'll get whatever shooter on the PS3 has 4 player splitscreen competitive, 4 player splitscreen cooperative, and if it has splitscreen + online, it would be a shoe-in (a la warhawk)

    Been trying to avoid spoilers of Bioshock 2 for months. Then, it all goes to shit in the first sentence. Shame on me for thinking I could read ANYTHING and not have the game ruined.

    "Capcom goes tropical with a heavy focus on three player co-op."


    I love co-op, I hope its split-screen. If so, I'm in!

    I've never played Uncharted 1, but shouldn't Uncharted 2 be on that list as well. Judging from the trailers and gameplay it looks like a shooter.

    @Nikorow: Uncharted 2 is going on the next list, but Army of Two was an oversight. Will add it

    APB? Never heard of it. Could it be that 300 000 player game Microsoft was talking about? Or is this game already in development?

    @MDX:


    Interested at the prospect of Borderlands too. Sounds like FPS and RPG got a little sauced one night and had an illegitimate love child named Borderlands. Hopefully Gearbox can deliver the game written about in the Game Informer cover article.


    ...Feels like it's been in development forever though.

    @Kuwabara Kazuo:


    All Points Bulletin is the full name. It's an MMO where you are either a gangster or a law enforcer in the city. Includes driving and 3rd person shooting in a city environment. I'm mixed on it, I like the premise, but it seems to simple.
