So, Call of Duty: Black Ops came out today, and a boringly large number of people bought it. (Including a lot of parents who I think have only an academic understanding of the phrase "M rated", but I digress.) Still, it seems somehow... lacking something.
It doesn't have enough guns.
Borderlands, the game which does have enough guns, has been mentioned here before. But with the game of the year edition out, which includes tokens to download all four expansions, it seems like a good time to mention it again.
Or, for another unconventional shooter, why not check out Fracture? This one hasn't gotten a lot of attention, but I enjoyed both the story and the fact that it was built around a system unlike any other shooter I'd played. In Fracture, you don't just use cover - you raise and lower the terrain to make your own. (Unfortunately, this is pointless against the bosses, but that's another rant.)
-Morgan.
