FPS - The gaming genre that won't die.

▲ With Call of Duty getting a 9.0 here, and getting good scores everywhere; not to mention the huge sales these games get, it's clear to me the FPS genre is the only gaming genre to never die.

Ever since I can remember, FPS have been huge. Since Doom, to Half-life, to Halo and now to Call of Duty. I always thought that at one point the market for these games may become saturated, this may happen yet, but it hasn't. It seems like every other genre of gaming seems to have had a moment in the light, and eventually the games stop being so popular. But the one genre that never seems to slow down is the FPS genre. I suppose it's just one of those things people never get tired of.

Allthough I personally don't find most FPS appealing, I realize I am in the minority. I wonder what is so wonderful about the prospect of shooting your enemy, it seems to have a universal charm to most people. People may never tire of this genre. But what I want is to see developers and gamers focus on other genres for a while. Because personally I'm a little tired of all these FPS.▲
