We' ve had a few discussions about shooters lately, Crysis contra everything else. And if Prey is a good shooter.
There are things that are personal preference and then there things that is just plain bad.

I' m a pretty versatile guy, liking mostly any kind of shooter, as long as it isnt buggy or otherwise frustrating.

I like bells and whistles in a shooter, since you get up close and personal a lot its nice to see the details.

I like being in control of my character throughout the expirience ala Half-Life.


My favorite shooters ever are thus far:

Half-Life
Half-Life 2
Doom 3
Crysis
Rainbow Six series.
