"Between Activision pumping out a new Call of Duty every year, and Electronic Arts dropping a new Battlefield game annually too, I just can’t keep up. I still haven’t answered the last couple of calls (Of Duty), and I haven’t played a Battlefield game since 1943 (The game, not the year). After finally playing my unopened copy of Bad Company 2, the game reminded me why I love this series, even if I don’t spend as much time as I’d like with the franchise."

MP1st discusses the playing the objective vs playing for your kill/death ratio in FPS games and the importance of playing as a team and working towards a common goal.

MP1st Co-Founder Fahed speaks out on the current state of video game reviews. 'Day-one' or 'static' reviews don't do justice for multiplayer centric games like Call of Duty or Battlefield. A new, more 'dynamic' approach must be adopted in order to be fair to gamers and developers alike.

Gus Mastrapa of Joystick Division calls for more diversity in video game settings, discussing Bioshock, Shadows of the Damned, Trenched, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Brutal Legend in the process.

"Digital Distribution as we know it started in 1999 with Napster. Napster connected people in a peer to peer (P2P) network for the first time, and allowed them to share their files with one another, namely music files. This was a fantastic innovation, although unfortunately a humongously illegal one as it allowed copyright protected media to be shared for free. None the less, Napster set the foundations for the rest of Digital Distribution to follow."

"I have been playing a fair amount of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 of late on the PC, and have found myself playing as a medic more often that not. I quite enjoy using a LMG, being able to look past the inaccuracy and slow reloading times, not that I ever live long enough to reload anyway! Furthermore to this I relish the chance to save those respawn tickets, by bringing people back from the grave and saving them from the cold clutches of death. However I have experienced, and I regret to say ca..."

"MMGN.com: "2010 was a big year for the gaming industry. The release of Kinect and Move for Xbox 360 and PS3 respectively has all but set in stone the direction which console gaming will be heading in the coming years. Long-awaited releases hit the stores and old franchises were rebooted with the help of keen developers.

There's no doubt that the console industry is flourishing. But what about PC gaming? This year has brought many to the conclusion that PC gaming is dead. But to say that th..."

• EVERYTHING MUST BLOW UP!

When I heard that DICE was making a Battlefield where you can blow up anything. I didn’t believe but, when the first Battlefield Bad Company came out, it was great to blow everything and everywhere. Now in Battlefield Bad Company 2 they make that destruction 10x times better. Modern Warfare 2 doesn’t have any destruction like taking down a whole building with C4. Modern Warfare 2 get a little boring without changing the environment. With Battlefield Bad Company 2 t..."

Here are two videos showing some of the best and worst FPS' ever released. Not all of your favourites will be in there but I had a laugh watching some footage of the worst games ever. It beggars belief how some of these games ever got released.

Check out these two youtube videos of some of the best and worst FPS' out there. It doesn't include all of them but the "worst" video is definitely worth a look, some hilariously bad games in there such as Rogue Warrior and Extreme Paint Brawl.

"Every so often I hear people talk about how they miss the days when Japan ran the game industry. I don't think they so much miss the days when Japanese developers were on top of the world as much as they miss the days when Japanese developers/publishers actually worked in large to promote creativity rather than just follow trends. Those days have faded. While many great games still come out of Japan, thanks mostly to their always shrinking console market and a lack of knowledge on how to revi..."

"Throughout the course of this past weekend, September 17th – 20th, the Paris Game Festival took place over on the continent, showcasing some of the best games of this year and the hopefuls for 2010. Big name publishers such as Microsoft, Sony, Activision, Electronic Arts, Nintendo and Square Enix were joined by a raft of development studios and accessory manufacturers, each attempting to wow their audience with their latest and greatest releases."

"The gaming world is gearing up for this week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, which is arguably one of the most exciting times of the year in this industry. Many games will be showcased and as with past shows, there are likely a few surprises in store as well.

A wide array of first and third person shooters have been confirmed to appear at this year’s event. Here is a look at some of the ones that we’re interested in getting a glimpse at the most:"
