This truly seems to be the season of the shooter. While Halo 3 has stolen our hearts and trigger fingers, there's still an amazing amount of shooters right around the corner. Some developers feel that the tried-and-true formula of pointing and shooting bad guys has run its course; and they may well be right.
Most of the up-and-coming shooters are getting away from the historically accurate single-player campaign and moving more toward advanced realism or far-out speculative futurism. So which shooter is the next on your list? These 10 will have your trigger finger itching for the firefight.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
The Hype:
After 8 installments Call of Duty is moving away from WWII and going back to the future. The single-player mode will be more cinematic and told through multiple perspectives. Multiplayer is loaded with different play modes and includes five solider classes: assault, spec ops, light machinegunner, demolitions, and sniper.
Why You Want To Play It:
For the first time Call of Duty will be M-rated. This means gallons of blood and more realism than you can shake a severed limb at. Placing things in the context of "modern" means you'll have tons of badass weapons at your disposal.
