Legendary is a first person shooter with a strong concept but a weak execution. The mystic Pandora’s Box at the center of the plot unleashes hellish versions of mythological creatures like werewolves and griffons– a cool idea, but there’s not a decent game to back it up. I feel that Legendary’s horrendous one-track level design deserves much of the blame. Read more…

Activision has announced Secret Service; a brand new tactical first-person shooter, for release on XBox 360, PS2, and PC. Secret Service puts players in the role of– guess what?– a Secret Service agent, tasked with protecting the President of the United States at all costs, in all manner of world famous locations.

It is interesting to note that Daniel Arey, who has worked on Uncharted, the Jak series, and Crash Bandicoot, has contributed to both story and level design. As a huge fan of everything Naughty Dog has produced, it is exciting for me to see Arey working on a new project outside of these main franchises.

In terms of gameplay ideas, this is shaping up to be worth keeping an eye on. See the full release and screens after the jump. Read more…

Good first person shooters are a rare find on the DS. C.O.R.E promises “old school” action tied to a “Gripping sci-fi storyline, with a fully interactive world”. I got my hands on an early build of the game last week, so hit the jump to get my impressions. Read more…

A year ago we previewed and reviewed Dementium: The Ward, a dark and spooky FPS for the DS that ended up being, well, not so great.

Developer Renegade Kid is giving it another shot this year with The Moon, which looks like it not only grafts a sci-fi raygun onto the action, but also lets you get behind the wheel of a Moon Buggy. Sweet!

Let’s just hope they expand the color scheme– Dementium relied a bit too much on black fog, and from the trailer we expect there to be lots of shades of gray. Check out that trailer, right after you click on “read more”. Read more…

NoWay Studio have released fresh new info in their DS exclusive FPS, C.O.R.E. Boasting an impressive 15 single player levels and 10 multiplayer maps, could this be the Halo of the DS? Hit the jump for all the info. Read more…

This week at Quake Con, id Software unveiled their new Wolfenstein shooter for the PC, PS3, and 360, simply titled “Wolfenstein”. We have the first released screenshots and trailer, for your Nazi-smiting pleasure, after the jump. Read more…

The original Stalker didn’t shake the earth too much, but we have high hopes for Stalker’s prequel, Clear Sky. An open-ended FPS sounds much more interesting than the average corridor-crawler, even if high radiation levels will keep you mostly on track. Now that we’ve got the box art, you know what to look for on shelves starting August 29. Check out the full-sized image after the jump. Read more…

Maybe I’m spoiled. Maybe my expectations are too high. Whatever the reason, the most positive thing I can say about Conflict: Denied Ops is that I was not physically injured by how horrible it was. Read more…

It may be cold outside, but there’s no excuse for not turning on your PS3 and downloading some digital goodness. Europe gets a Devil May Cry 4 demo, the US gets a Conflict: Denied Ops demo and we all live happily ever after. Read more…

Unreal Tournament 3 is Epic’s latest entry in their long running FPS franchise. Not many people have made the effort to pick this game up for the PC, but if you haven’t paid up for the PS3 version, then you are missing out on a revolution for console gaming. Read more…
