im not critisizing the genere as a whole, but just questioning the point of making 20 games that are basicaly identical (with only slightly differing storylines)
a good FPS game that came out fairly recently is nuclear dawn, the idea behind it was awsome...
anothere example is fallout 3/borderlands (exelent fps/rpg)
but i havent seen any real motion in plain old fps games probably since quake 2(the second fps i ever played (1st one was the original doom)) came out, the only real invention that has been done in a pure fps is the ability to crouch(most games dont even have the option to go prone)...
i just dont see any new material in any these games
but maybe thats just me being cynical from the number of games i have played in my lifetime
