In praise of the FPS

Apr 11, 08:59 AM

Let us now praise insanely violent first-person-shooters.

Let us praise the joys of double-wielding a pair of Uzis with unlimited ammo; let us delight in the gorgeous fractal carnage of a rocket launcher as it slams into your target. Let us talk openly about how just totally awesome it is to grab a fully loaded railgun in Quake 4 and wade into a mass of gibbering Strogg aliens and kill and kill and kill again, until there are guts on, like, the ceiling.

So begins this entertaining article on Wired. I love FPS like Doom 3 and Half-Life 2, always have. Boy does this article ring true. And that first paragraph makes me laugh every time!
