MMGN writes: You need to sit up and take notice of upcoming FPS, Bodycount.
Bodycount because it is said to be a spiritual successor to 'Black', that extremely solid and explosive shooter on PlayStation 2 and Xbox that nobody played. Bodycount's made by members of the same development team and videos showcase a game decisively reminiscent of that memorable shooter from last decade.
The two games share more in common that you initially might think. Both games came later in a generation, buried beneath a hoard of "blockbuster" and "AAA" first-person shooters.
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ and ‘Emulators for PC’ have shared some new videos, showing GUN, Bodycount, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Wanted: Weapons of Fate and more running on the latest version of the best Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia.
It may have been all but overlooked at launch, but Bodycount is well worth a look for fans or arcade gaming.

more fps's... come on where is the innovation in the gamin community!!!!! please more story driven games!!!
Mmmmm, Black was awesome. I'm not entirely sure about the gunplay in this new game, though; seemed a bit wonky in gameplay videos. The reticles were sorta odd, too.
It looks more fast paced than Black. They look like distinctly different games. Which is fine, but I like the tactical necessity to Black. This one looks a bit more "balls out" and tailored to the fast-paced current-gen crowd. I don't care for the Crackdown-type points, either. Adding light RPG elements to a shooter just generally seems unnecessary - at least in these fast-paced "balls-out" ones.
The demo was annoying, hope it did not represent the entire game...
