REVIEWS ON TOP FIRST PERSON SHOOTER (FPS) GAMES>>>
Blackshot is developed by Korean Company Vertigo Games for Windows PCs. It is a MMOFPS game which is free. It is first released in 2009 both in Korea and SEA. The Japan version should be up by now and the Europe version sometime this year. It is playable on GARENA in singapore and is also featured in the Singapore WCG Nationals.
Blackshot is a game which is easy to pick up. It has knief, SMGs, rifles, Snipers, pistols and grenades like any other games but no Bazooka, vehicles nor nightvision. Maps are all daytime and theres flag capture, detonation, deathmatch and bunker def maps. One thing I like about Korean FPS is that theres overnades which I dun see in CS. Grenades here are more powerful than CS and can be thrown over buildings. And of course theres flashbangs, spike nades and EMP nades. AWP snipers are sill 1 shot kill but pro snipers use the M24 sniper in tournaments as theres a QUICKSNIPE technique and a faster re-shoot time as compared to the AWP. (watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woWuTR9EFBs to see a pro M24 and u will know why it is favored over the AWP)
This game is constantly gaining fanbase in SG and is approved as a WCG game in SG. I myself am playing this game under my nick RoyaleFlush. My friends chet, mic, mcc, dan, kw are playing it too as well as my bro =) The game operates on a rank system. More bonus points= higher rank.
Another Korean made FPS by Redduck. Released in Korea in 2007 it already made headway in korea. Its international release was in 2009. It is playable free in Singapore through ijji servers.
Assault rifles and Sub-machine guns may have laser sights and scopes if they have a Picatinny rail system. Certain weapons also need to be converted to support rails, for a small cost. Snipers can have scopes with higher levels of zoom. New attachments, and various types of equipment are expanded upon are added during monthly updates.
+Excellent weapon customization options. +Unique switchable class system. +Very polished and balanced gameplay.+Unique achievement system (Medals / Badges). +Great interface. Downside is that theres few maps. If you like great graphics (e.g. burning cars on the streets) you will like this. Theres tanks in this game too as well as nightvision for night/dark maps.
Though this game is not so good on graphics it has spawned one of Korea's most revered snipers Kim Kyung Jin (as seen in the video). His unexplainable reaction time has left ppl stunned.
Korea made by GameHi Company. Published by Asiasoft in SEA. It was released in Korea in 2004 which makes this one of the pioneer korean FPS.
+Fast-paced, smooth gameplay. +Plenty of maps. +Numerous game modes. +First game of its kind. +Not too demanding on the PC. Downside is that theres few weapons and character customisation. In tournaments I have seen incredible overnades (e.g. ppl stacking and a guy runs over them and jumps to throw a nade over a building killing 2 enemies). If you like sniping and pin-point nading but dun mind the low graphics quality then this game is for you. I used to play SA too but eventually switched over to Blackshot cuz my sniping isnt pro enough for the game lol.
This game is developed by Infinity Ward has has become one of the best sellers of all time so I had to include this. It has big name publishers like Activision and Square Enix (Japan)[think Final Fantasy]. It is from the Call of Duty series. Theres campaign, cooperative and multiplayer modes.
The platform is amazing as it is playable on PS3, XBOX 360 PC ... etc (i think blackberry and DS also can play this game). On the visual side of things, Modern Warfare 2 is an obvious step up over Call of Duty 4 and World at War, with a stronger emphasis on complex terrain in the environments, weather effects, destructible objects, and the overall sense of action and chaos that comes with so many visual improvements. This is only complemented further by the increased attention to sound design, with the effects of many returning weapons being re-recorded,even more in-level chatter amongst your allies, and a truly captivating score by Hans Zimmer which builds based on specific in-game moments. Modern Warfare 2 feels like an action James Bond movie.
One of the larger visual changes to the game's heads-up display this time around is the blood splatter system. In previous Call of Duty offerings you'd get damaged, the screen would start to shade red, and you'd be required to seek cover before your vision returned to normal. Modern Warfare 2 employs a new system, actually having a thicker blood layer added to up the realism.
You may have thought you were buying Modern Warfare 2 simply for the competitive multiplayer or single-player campaign alone, but mark my words; you will be pulled in by Spec Ops, and when it's all said and done you'll be begging for more. I don't have this but my cousin plays it and I must say it looks pretty impressive. The only downside is that it isn't free =X
This is the mother of all FPS I believe. Developed by Vavle and playable on Windows and Mac OS. Unlike most games this game starts with both teams wielding pistols and then eventually buy other items and weapons.
Just about the only aspect of this game that we could make negative comments about is the sound. Sure, the realistic guns sounds are spot on, we just wish the same amount of attention to detail was given to the rest of the sound in the game. Some levels have lighting and thunder. When the thunder crashes it sounds a little wimpy. We were hoping for some deeper bass and clearer sounding claps from the lightning. In most of the level the user can go inside or out side of buildings, the sound of their footsteps should also change to reflect what type of surface they are walking on. The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer could also have been improved. As it stands now, it's hard to tell how far down the hallway or street a bad guy is from you by sound alone.
It costs about $30 now i think but if you like playing with many ppl and have never heard of CS (i dunno why) then you should try this out.
To be released in 2010 developed by Crytek and published by Electronic Arts. Crysis 1 is in a jungle environment which reminds me of outfield cuz my army outfield environment is visually= to the in-game jungle environment. Even the plants have moving shadows due to the overhead sun lol. And theres even dirt tracks made when you run.
Crysis 2 is set in New York City. Similar to its predecessor, Crysis 2 will provide freedom to customize weaponry and abilities. Crytek wanted to avoid making another game set in a jungle environment, as were Far Cry and Crysis; New York City has been dubbed an "urban jungle". The urban atmosphere offers more options in how to progress and plan attacks. Players will be able to navigate between floors and buildings, as well as destroy cityscape.The Sandbox is back for all 3 systems PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
This game is available for multiplayer and is to be released by end 2010- successor to Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead =)
