SOLDNER:
The Secret Wars
The
FPS genre has been one of the most appealing to gamers and one of the
most successful. From Doom to Halo, FPS’s have always been a way of
immersing the player into the character, without feeling as if they are
merely playing a character.

and revolutionize the FPS sphere into more then pointing and firing. The
developers are indeed carrying too much on their shoulders; hopefully
the weight won’t cause them to collapse.
