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.

  Now just think if every Xbox game was available for download on your xbox instead of having to buy the box. They just about have to go this way on the next Xbox.
