2010 has been one of the most exciting and most disappointing years for gaming. For every Starcraft 2 and Halo: Reach, there's been a Final Fantasy XIII or a Singularity. This list chronicles the top ten video gaming disasters of the past year.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
You may remember Singularity as the game Activision wanted to forget. Developed by Raven Software - formerly the creators of Heretic and Soldier of Fortune.
It was a truly bizarre sequences of events, almost as if Activision wanted the game to do badly. The tragic irony is that Singularity is a more interesting singleplayer FPS than every Call of Duty Activision has released since Modern Warfare, combining a high-concept, time-hopping story with oodles of clever mechanics, and a weapon-roster to rival Bulletstorm and Titanfall 2. | Rick Lane
This game was fantastic and it was the only Activision published game last gen I really enjoyed.
I loved the TMD gameplay as it reminded me of the Gravity Gun in Half Life, if they did a sequel they could have really added onto the game. I loved how despite being scripted the time era would change and you'd suddenly be in the past, if they did a sequel they could have tried to do these non scripted so they could happen at any time while you were walking around.
This game received little to no love. I enjoyed it and recommend if tour looking for a solid fps for probably dirt cheap that dared to be different by tying together a lot of ideas.
One of my favorite first person shooters. I wish Activision would finally allow them to make the sequel we've all been waiting for!
loved this game. rented it on a whim at blockbuster, and had way too much with it. A pleasant, self-contained title, no massive franchise, just a nice little story and interesting gameplay. Definitely a hidden gem from lest gen.
"This was the longest anime I’ve ever watched. The story was boring, the voice actors were horrendous, and the production values were through the roof. Yep, must be a Final Fantasy title."
Sounds like he's just an FF hater. He acts as if those qualities are common in Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy 1-12 beg to differ. FFXII had some of the best voice acting I've ever experienced in an RPG. And how on earth is FFXIII put in the same league as Iron Man. It was disappointing but not a piece of shit like the 9 other games he listed. There's been much worse games this year
It's not anime that I don't like. I love anime. Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Shin-Chan...
It's trite stories I don't like.
PS FFVI and VII were amazing.
I would have to put alan wake and white knight chronicles on this list. Both of those were totally overhyped (especially alan wake) and both had incredibly long development cycles. While Alan wake was at least decent, it was no where near what it should have been. Heavy Rain was a much more emotional and psycholically thrilling experience and it had a much smaller budget.
i enjoyed Singularity.
not a buy. but rent it for sure.
Iron Man 2!? Yeah, a cheap game to cash in on the movie. Gee, I was SO suprised and dissapointed when it turned out to be shit.
