Evening Reading: FPS Fever!

by Brian Leahy, Apr 14, 2010 5:00pm PDT

This morning, Take-Two announced that 2K Marin is developing an FPS game based upon X-COM. The outrage was palpable.

I'm willing to give 2K Marin a chance here. I'm sure this is a move meant to echo Bethesda's work with the Fallout franchise, which led to the creation of Fallout 3.

Personally, I'm a much bigger fan of Todd Howard and Bethesda's work than 2K Marin's, but we'll see what the studio can cook up.

Hello Shacknews!

I put an offer on a house! :D Here's to hoping they accept in time for me to get $8,000 from Uncle Sam.

  This looks awesome. I like it and I also like that you will get to put your own touches on the kitchen after you live there for a while. It is awesome that it is open like that.
