"Like the seasonal flu, every fall blatant copies of popular titles are shoved down the consumer’s throats right in time for the hopeful holiday rush. What’s popular enough now to be the topic of conversation between the kiddies at the playground? Military first-person shooters have been this go-to cash grab for years now and usually titles lacking Call of Duty in the title fall on a suicidal land mine. This year we have Medal of Honor: Warfighter, a first-person shooter touting “realism” (remember, THIS IS INSPIRED BY ACTUAL EVENTS) set in a modern military world. 2010′s Medal of Honor was terrible in its own right and Warfighter does little to better the name. It’s about as forgettable and poorly constructed as most of its competitors."
Alongside death, taxes and terrible Adam Sandler movies, video game sequels are just another crushing inevitability of life. Sequels and franchises are the lifeblood of the industry, so you can bet any halfway successful game will be aiming towards at least five more follow-ups and spin-offs in pursuit of more delicious money.
Yet even major franchises tend to run themselves into the ground eventually, where they can either reboot themselves and come back stronger than ever (think the new Tomb Raider games) or stay buried in the past.
This new Top 5 video series is starting with a bang, and quite possibly some teabagging, as I run through my favorite first-person shooters.

The video game industry is one based on the backs of its scholarly properties. Like movies and books, it’s a space that draws vigorously on strong sequels and innovative new thoughts. Notwithstanding, not all sequels surpass the enormity of their forerunners, and a chosen few of them check the start of the end for their →
Assassin's Creed series was ruined after Black Flag, Ubisoft made it annually game. I played Dead Space 1 and 2; were awesome but Dead Space 3 failed to make gosip. As MOH Warfighter was good game
I preferred Revelations over Brotherhood. AC Brotherhood had such a boring story while AC Revelations tied everything up very well for Ezio and Altair, if I was going to pick a game where it all started going downhill for me it would be AC 3 but despite that AC 1,2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 4, Rogue and Syndicate are all good games.
Lost Planet as far as I remember went like dead space with the third game (round based type play) it just felt like it was just a map clearing game with multiple horde survival. Call Of duty went and died long ago. Ghosts didn't help its cause but now we have three development houses it's going from bad to worse. GTA to me anyway was saved with five to me the driving up until then was awful. Mario and sonics died along time ago to in my eyes.
Well, I won't be buying this due to low reviews and it is your average FPS...
LOL I hope Dangerclose <aka COD perk doesn't attempt to make another FPS,they failed twice in a row,the second being the final nail in the coffin.
Lulz, what's up with all these 5/10? I mean, not even 6s or 7s :-D
If Single Player was longer it could have saved the game and made it an easy 7 or better. However for some odd reason people are content throughing out 4-5 hour campaigns....and it wasn't even hard.
It seems like since EA held off with the review copies everyone is just punishing them with horrible reviews. If you really think this game deserves such bad reviews, there is something wrong with people these days. Me and my friends are having great fun with this game. I loved the campaign and the multiplayer has a different feel than any other shooter i have played. Ill admit it has some pretty bad bugs, but they will obviously get fixed. Seriously if Kinect Star Wars ends up having a better critic score than this game, i will lose all hope in mankind and never believe any review that comes out ever again.
