If there was ever a time for shooter fan its today. With our rich pedigree or game that grew a base of players that decided to just play fps games. Titles like golden eye on the Nintendo 64 and marathon for the Mac computer drew us in and we in turn created a culture. Noobs, Campers and the Run & Gunners have populated our screens, fill our voices with venom as we taunt the victors. Yes what a bright day it is for shooters and the five franchises at the top of the mountain have plenty of reason to be there.
Halo: bungie has birth a game that leaves you feeling like a god after taking on the covenant stopping the halo rings and successfully defending the earth from its end. You step out of your game room ready to take anything on. With greats like Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Reach, and now Halo 4 bungie has left the franchise in capable the hands of 343 Studios. I'll be looking forward to there next gen installment.
Call of duty: This franchise has had two developers for quite some time Infinity Ward and Trearch Studios. They both have brought amazing titles in the COD series with each one bringing there own amenities to the series Killer graphics, Zombies, Modern warfare an amazing multiplayer game play. Now that the reigns have been given to Treach the Black Ops line of games are a perfect combination of single player story that just engages you and a multi player mode that just doesn't stop. Not to mention the secret Easter egg fill Zombie mode we'll be looking forward to there next entry.
Battlefield: The most improved of the bunch battlefield has jumped leaps and bounds from there initial installment. It ha always had a solid single player mode but multiplayer has always seemed...rushed but all that changed with battlefield 3. The most engaging you feel dropped in the middle of a war zone intense game play great voice acting and vehicles yes planes battlefield 4 will be ready to go.
Killzone: I originally felt that Killzone had a gears of war feel but kill zone has its own bloodline the hellgas are relentless and your command is up for the task. I remember this game on the PS2 amazing there was nothing like it on the system fast forward to kill zone 4 for the PS 4 wow what an epic road the announcement took us on. Watch here: link.
Crysis: Crysis 1 nice, Crysis 2 impressive, Crysis 3 Bow...the Bow. Prophet rivals Master Cheif the power the gravity of the story it's become as big as the best game universe your back with some old friends learning more about your destiny and mans fate this is a beautiful game I can't wait for the next gen game from the developers of Crysis.
We had a couple of honorable mentions like Borderland and medal of honor but only having 2 installments left them for another list. Let us know what game franchises might be missing or what's your top five. What game will be top dog of 2013

Seriously Crysis is blowing my mind an prophet has replaced master Cheif as far as I'm concerned
ReplyDeleteAnyone saying that Crysis has replaced Halo is just misinformed. Crysis is an iron-sights shooter. Halo is still the only successful old-school style FPS on consoles to date. That could change, but no other franchise has adapted well enough and converted effectively.
