Brink

Brink was very recently released across many platforms and seems to be living up to its promise of delivering something new to the first person shooter (FPS) genre of gaming.

This high paced, highly customizable shoot ‘em up is a great game focused heavily on team work in order to get the job done. There are some great new features and the SMART (Smoot Movement Across Random Terrain) feature is setting some high standards for the genre. Whilst many will compare it to Call of Duty, it is different enough to qualify for it’s own category of FPS. 

This is a fantastic game that will keep you glued to your console for many hours. Most of all FPS have become fun again with the focus on team work and communication rather than trying to outscore your team mates. Be sure to grab this game soon, it is highly recommended.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Call of Duty: Black Ops, many would argue, is the best First Person Shooter (FPS) to come along in years. The latest in the Call of Duty series to be released, this game offers not only great graphics, it’s immersive and realistic warfare experience puts you in the hot seat in an adrenaline fuelled journey.

The solo campaign is involving and hard to tackle meaning you get some real quality gaming time out of this game. But the real jewel in the crown of this series is it’s multiplayer and Black Ops does not disappoint with it’s incredible controller setup you will be pouring lead into your friends and online opponents in no time. Although it can be a challenge at first to keep up with the more experienced players, you will be getting those kills in no time to satisfy your bloodlust. 

The range of realistic weapons, attachments and equipment are by far the best to be offered so far in this genre and the experience and kill streak system are just so well engineered. Multiplayer gaming is endless and addictive with many maps to tackle, not to mention the continuing release of map packs and expansions being released online. 

Black Ops proved itself to be the best game of 2010 by being the number one best seller of any medium, going platinum within hours of its release. Don’t miss out on this awesome FPS experience.
