First Person games view the world from the eyes of the in-game character. You don't see the character themselves apart from their hands, gun or possibly feet as in Mirror's Edge. Because of the imediacy of the experience and sheer volume of visual information the player is offered First Person games lend themselves to the shooting genre. The FPS view enables players to immerse themselves in the experience and react quicker to events in the game. Other games have used a first person view to deliver an unusual perspective on an old genre - Mirror's Edge for example delivers a Platforming genre through a First Person view.

Nexiuz brings the old school back to online shooting games and may even revitalise a classic play style with its Quake roots... read now
Motorstorm Apocalypse marries thrills of off-road racing with end of world bedlam. A little indulgent maybe, but the quality and polish on display shone through even this most juvenile of videogames... read now
Modern Warfare 3 isn't a bad game, it's just a bit boring. Maybe I'm getting old but I've less and less enthusiasm for the virtual violence and online abuse these days. Maybe it's time to leave this all behind... read now
Red Dead Redemption is Old West perfection. However it was the world you play in rather than the game itself that I enjoyed the most, and reminded me to slow down and take my time with games now I'm older... read now
the wider context of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition is, of course, the completion of the three-year transition of the Halo franchise from a now independant Bungie to Microsoft subsidiary 343 Industries (or 343i for those who like their companies to sound like 1970s computers). as such, it's sort of a concept/portfolio piece, except designed by someone who already has the job. and on sale... read now
Flower may seem like an odd-ball on the PlayStation 3, but actually it's as true to Sony's PS3 system as Wipeout was on the PS1... read now
Resistance: Burning Skies is another game bringing a full console experience to a handheld device. But along the way, it picks up some intruiging Vita features like touch screen grenading... read now
Battlefield 3 is an ego boost and pick-me-up. The way it makes me feel may be hard to define, but I'm not giving it up lightly -- even when my hectic modern life threatens to cancel it out... read now
Borderlands 2 sees a multiplatform return to the bright and violent world of Pandora with a cast of new characters and a box of new tricks... read now
Rage is a graphically stunning new shooter, a fantastically realised world in retreat. Although this created a genuine sadness for me, Rage seem unaware or unwilling to engage with these life and death realities, preferring instead to just keep me shooting... read now
Borderlands: Claptrap's New Robot Revolution 360 is the last DLC for the original Borderlands, and puts the game's iconic robots centre stage in another substantial expansion that's for hardcore fans of the series only... read now
Skyrim is videogame theatre, and I found myself worryingly lost in its labyrinth. Swapping the uncertainties and dangers of real life for the control and safety of Skyrim eclipsed my day to day reality in a way I hadn't bargained for... read now
when i reviewed the Wii version of Goldeneye 007: Reloaded last year, i couldn't help but indulge a short rant about the market-oriented cynicism that so obviously stood behind its conception. perhaps it's because i'm a little older, a little mellower, a little less (or perhaps more) tired than i was back then, but this week i found myself able to unwrap the just-landed 360 version without the ire rising too fast or far... read now
Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary is both old and new. It keeps the story, gameplay and controls perfectly intact from the original while shrouding the whole affair in the graphical goodness of Halo Reach... read now
Mario Kart 7 3DS makes sense of Wii and Gamecube detours for the series and brings in to land a perfectly pitched portable version of the game you already know almost everything about... read now
after St Swithin's Day, James and Bobby Purify Memorial Weekend and 'Open Week' at the Fray Bentos pie-tin factory, my favourite annual event is FIFA/PES new release head-to-head month. .. read now
"oh Grandad-who-used-to-be-in-Bulletstorm, what big boots you have." "why, all the better for kicking the dick off everything my dear.".. read now
Battlefield has always been a game to enjoy with other people -- as in humans rather than artificial opponents. This year more than ever though, it has made a concerted effort to chip into Modern Warfare's single player experience -- and the sales figures that go with it. .. read now
Deus Ex: Human Revolution provides an epic and immersive story and still allows great freedom of choice; but, how much freedom is it prepared to sacrifice to maintain its own fiction?.. read now

With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that. But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy. |
