If there's one thing the shelves of your local game store isn't lacking, it's first-person shooters. This is great for those with an itchy trigger finger, but quite a problem for developers looking to bring a new IP to the crowded table. There's an argument that there's little innovation left to squeeze out of the genre, but time and time again this has been proved wrong. The genre as a whole is subsequently of an incredibly high standard, and it's increasingly difficult to distinguish a good FPS from a great one.
A new FPS either needs to be very good looking or very different to get itself noticed. Codemasters' Bodycount didn't appear to be either of these things.
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ and ‘Emulators for PC’ have shared some new videos, showing GUN, Bodycount, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Wanted: Weapons of Fate and more running on the latest version of the best Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia.
It may have been all but overlooked at launch, but Bodycount is well worth a look for fans or arcade gaming.
GI - Stuart Black on unfinished projects, the blame culture and going it alone.
the titles are so generic these days that i keep getting this mixed up with bulletstorm.
"It's fast paced, over the top and packed with more explosions than Sydney Bridge on New Year's Eve. And yet at the same time it's complimented with elegant controls, tight accuracy and feedback in all the right places"
This sounds like BLACK to me. I do want.
