2010 is arguably one of the best years that gaming has to offer. And while the year was filled with great titles from genres as diverse as RPGs and action games, the FPS genre was where it truly shined. Without ado, here are ten of the best first person shooters of 2010.
The game takes place straight after the end of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, where the government is investigating the cause of a failed operation. The player takes control of Alexander Degtyarev, a security service agent, who is sent into the zone to investigate the crash sites. The atmosphere of the game is absolutely fantastic and someone familiar with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series might enjoy it even more. In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - COP, Stalkers wander the zones searching for artifacts, loot and firefights. There are some side-quests too apart from the main story. To sum it all up, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat is a powerful, harrowing experience.
Undeniably overshadowed by the release of Activision's Black Ops, Medal of Honor manages to hold it's own in terms of multiplayer, where it arguably excels over it's competitor due to its superior game modes and better networking code--at least on the PC.
The single player campaign takes place in Afghanistan, shortly after the US invasion. You participate in the events that unfold and perceive them through the eyes of multiple operatives during the mission which spans over a 24-hour period. Unfortunately, the campaign is very short, offering little more than a taste of the game, with very little variety in comparison to Black Ops. Still, if you're in the market for a good multiplayer game, Medal of Honor is hard to pass on.
It's hard to pass up on a game that offers 256-player action. Exclusive to the PlayStation 3, MAG is the console's answer to the Battlefield games. It's basically PlanetSide done right, or what Battlefield 2 would be like if you combined 8 servers together and had players (grouped into squads) team up to take objectives throughout the map. Territory is gained and bases are won and the battlefield remains dynamic as the game's three sides wage all out war against each other.
The graphics might not be much to look at, but for a game that offers this much action, I don't really mind.
