FTG writes- It was morning, at what seemed to be the 900th hour of the day. My platoon was ready to seize control of the north side of Hara Dunes. We rushed to our objective, checking corners and as a good sniper preemptive; we tossed a couple of smoke grenades for good measure. Once we were satisfied that the area was clear, we heard over the radio that the enemy got a hold of the south side of the Dunes.
Blood rushing and adrenaline pumping, we ran towards the center of the Dunes, knowing that it would be the enemy’s next target. Our snipers searched for high ground. The heavy gunner geared up for his tank stand. Assault soldiers run towards the target while I, the spec-ops of my platoon, quickly used my heat vision to detect how many tangos we had in our mark. Before we knew it, the bloodbath began as both sides met in one area, trying to hold the center of Hara Dunes.
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.
