Shooters have been one of the primary genres of gaming since the days of Doom, it’s one of the easiest genres to create, and one of the hardest games to make original. In Video Games, we’ve shot and killed just about everything, Nazi’s, Cowboys, Aliens, Terrorists, you name it, we’ve probably put a few dozen bullets into it. This year was no exception, with Id’s return to gaming, Epic finishing the Gears of War series, and Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 cat fight, our winner though, does something different, and does it right.
AND THE WINNER IS…
BULLETSTORM
With a title like Bulletstorm, you have a feeling your in for a B-Movie style of a ride… and you would be right. However what Bulletstorm is, is fun. The sub-title being Kill with Skill, and aside from 9 different guns, each with different rates of fire and destruction, your equiped with a lasso, boot and slide attack that allows you to mix up your kills and earn more points. With a strong Co-operative multiplayer, Bulletstorm’s play mechanics can keep you coming back to improve your score.
