Army of Two,

Battlefield: Bad Company,

Blacksite, Brothers in Arms,

CoD 3 & 4,

CB's Jericho,

The Darkness,

ET: Quake Wars,

FEAR,

Frontlines,

HL2 Orange Box,

Haze,

Kane and Lynch,

Killzone 2,

MoH: AA,

MGS4,

Mirror's Edge,

Ratchet and Clank,

RE5,

Resistance 1 & 2,

Time Crisis,

Timeshift,

TC's GRAW 2,

TC's R6: Vegas 1 &2,

TC's Splinter Cell DA,

UT3,

Warhawk.

There's some great games in there, amirite? (Not a complete list, and games aren't released yet) Can you see how crowded the "shooter" genre is at this point? I'm starting to get to the point where it all feels like the same ol' same old.

So, am I just crazy, or are there other people out there who are hoping that 2008 gives us a stronger showing of other genres?

Army of Two, GRAW 2, Warhawk, Time Crisis, Ratchet and Clank, MGS4 and Kane and Lynch arn't FPS

But yea I think everyone thinks there are too many shooters out there. Because you really only need one to keep you happy, maybe two if your that into gaming.

Yeah, developers have an obsession with guns, probably because they sell

Yeah I know what you mean. I have eight games and five of them are FPS. Not that I'm complaining though, FPS is one of my favourite genres and the surge in popularity of the genre on consoles is a welcome change from last gen (there weren't that many good FPS for the PS2 unfortunately).

Shooters are easy to sell that's why there's so many of them.

Easy to sell, easy to make....the formula for a good shooter is already out there, and the companies don't have to do much in the way of innovation to make a decent shooter. Its a shame too, cuz I'm really tired of FPS's, thats all Xbox 360 had before I came over to the PS3, and I just want something that I can enjoy without looking down the barrell of a gun.
