America's Army, Jericho, Time Shift, BlackSite, Call of Duty 4, F.E.A.R. Files, Army of Two, and Kane and Lynch - all in less than 30 days (Oct 23rd - Nov. 20th)... does anyone else think this is a bit of an overkill. I know the 360 is suppose to be the "shooter console", but this is nuts. I'm getting really tired of FPS games - I already know what games i'm getting this season (barring any terrible reviews) Orange Box (yes, i know its a shooter, but i never played episode one or two, and its also got a 3rd person multiplayer game and a really cool looking puzzle game), Simpsons: The Game (it just might overtake Hit & Run as the best simpsons game), Assassins Creed, and Mass Effect. Thats just about all that my wallet and time will allow. After Bioshock, Halo 3 and Half Life episodes, my FPS quota is all used up for the year

There are a lot of FPS for 360. However the majority of them like Metal of Honor are complete garbage...

The good:

  • Call of Duty 4

Nothing else can even touch this game. NOTHING!!!!!

Yeah, maybe there are a bit too many, but the good thing is almost all of them are excellent. Really, can you complain about any of those? (Except for AA maybe).. Oh damn, I can't wait for AC, I've been waiting for it for over a year now. Can't believe it comes out next month.

yeah, the CoD 4 Beta was fun, i might break down and get it for xmas. I love how it actually rewards u for playing multiplayer by giving you more weapons and perks the more u play (instead of just stupid achiements). The only other game i've played thats done multiplayer this way is syphon filter: dark mirror and i loved it (despite being a shooter w/out a second analog stick)

After having played the CoD 4 beta quite extensively, I can honestly say I am not that excited about it. Actually, to be honest, im probably even less excited about it after having played the beta than I was before. Ranking up and unlocking new weapons and configurations is nice, but that only takes me so far. The rest of the game doesnt feel that great to me, just running around shooting people like in every other shooter, and that massive auto aim that cannot be turned off annoys the hell out of me.

if you're tired of FPS games then stop playing them. No one is forcing you to buy them.

I am looking forward to Orange Box and CoD4. Those will be the last FPS games I will purchse until Gears 2 comes out :P

Looking forward to Bully, Civilization, and Assassins Creed for my non-FPS fix.

I say not enough.

Developers aren't just churning out half-assed shooters for cheap profit anymore. They're actually spending a great deal of time, money, and effort to deliver the highest quality of gaming, and it's only getting better...not to mention the competition between developers and the intense on-line compettion between gamers that can only be experienced in FPSs.

Bioshock, COD, Half-Life, Halo, Haze, Unreal, even Turok...all set to rock the crap out of this generation, and most already are.

Good times to be had with guns.

well, i guess i got some of my facts wrong on the FPS i listed (some are third person, which i much prefer) and apparently i was wrong about team fortress 2 being 3rd person - my bad. and for all of you who so cleverly said "u picked the wrong console" or "don't buy them", i already recognized that the 360 is the shooter console and i don't hate FPS's (golden eye is one of my all time favorite games), i just wished they would spread them out a little bit (obviously i can just buy them later, but there won't be as many people online later in the year, especially if they are all spread out between all the different shooters). i mean its kind of a problem u want to have

p.s. - i should have clarified about the simpsons game... best console game (but i still think hit and run was the best including the arcade game, tho i know i'm in the minority there - they recreated springfield and let u do whatever u wanted in the entire city, how is that not awesome beyond belief)
