Black

Black - Xbox

Now THIS is what an FPS should be like.

It seems that the whole point of action games is violence. Whenever a game like Halo 2 tries to get brainy with a backstory and actual characters, it gets criticized. Black avoids that pitfall, and how. Not only does the game live up to its title of "gun porn," it is also one of the best FPSes ever. The game is all about shooting stuff. Cars, red barrels, and yes, people, all are targets. Blast baddies carrying RPGs, and the entire building they're in goes up with them in a truly Xbox-worthy explosion. Shoot one of the famous red barrels and everyone within twenty feet is suddenly fifty feet away. This game has done away with the brains and stuck purely with brawn. And I say, good for EA. The game takes the genre "action" and lives up to it in a way few shooters can claim. The only problem is lack of multiplayer, but hopefully Black 2 will allow us to blow our friends away with a SPAS or Walther 2000. I know I'd like that.
