I could mention a good amount of titles as well hyped as they are lauded that are deploying during this explosive pre-Holiday battlefield but, covering the non-FPS is a job for the much more intellectual bloggers. We consider this a graduation(?) letter of sorts to the few(thanks to stupid CoD4) first-person shooters that are rolling in during the pre-Thanksgiving weeks. Some of which we have been personally anticipating:

~Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Made me wanna watch Hot Shots Part Deux, again.

~Blacksite: Area 51 Any game using the Unreal3 engine is a buy. Though Stranglehold is a rental.

~Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back Budget title my ass but looks decent nevertheless.

~Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 Another good WiiFPS since Metroid Prime III and Red-

Some Wii Zapper rail-shooters(because we grew up on Time Crisis)

~Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles “Gimmicky piece of plastic.” Bull****.

~Ghost Squad Some questionable quality Bauerian action. True CoD4 contender.

~Link’s Crossbow Training Crossbows? Link’s a sellout.

Oh and PC

~Crysis Unless you manage to get your hands on an Interpol mainframe server, this is an amazing title.

Think thats all of them, well all the ones we liked. Not trying to be any more biased or anything but Blacksite is our primary target for its split-screen co-op and Heroes 2 because obviously its a freaking WiiFPS thats actually good. As long as the Wii Zapper costs 20 gils, its a decent peripheral if not a component. Now, back to CoD4. Have a solid Thanksgiving and remember not to backpedal onto an enemy grenade.
