Great visuals? Of course. A solid story? Definitely. But the greatest FPS games, from Half-Life to Doom, FEAR to Battlefield, have one much more important thing in common: the guns sound fantastic. In Valve's debut (and its modder-made remake Black Mesa) the audio award goes to the .357 Magnum. In FEAR, it's the pump-action shotgun, in Doom, the Super Shotgun, and in Battlefield, well, it's everything. Inspired by some of the classics of the genre, and infused with boomer shooter style and energy, one Steam FPS has managed to score great reviews and huge sales before it's even reached the full 1.0 launch. If you've missed it so far, I'm pleased to introduce you to Selaco.
