Nerd Reactor goes hands-on with Bullet Run, Sony Online Entertainments new free-to-play FPS. It's bears some resemblance to both Call of Duty and Counter Strike, but its special weapons like the wolverine claws differentiate it from the bunch.
From GamesReviews
"Bullet Run might not have been the biggest free-to-play shooter on the market, but it's not good news that it's closing. Its TV show style was utterly unique, and it was one of the better examples of the genre in the F2P market. If you never played it, you're now probably too late. It closes, for good, tomorrow at 12PM PST. Sony have just sent out a new message reminding everybody to get their last games in over the next fourteen or so hours, and that players may want to try out Planetside 2 as an alternative."
This is a little dated now, of course. You've got about eight hours if you want to try it out/go back to it.
