]]> Comment on Why is it always a first person shooter? by Michael http://gamerlearner.com/2008/06/16/why-is-it-always-a-first-person-shooter/#comment-1738 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:05:12 +0000 http://gamelearner.edublogs.org/?p=50#comment-1738 Well, luckily, since it has now been 4 years since this article was written up, there has been quite a large mass of really popular first person games that have little to no shooting and focus more on the puzzles and atmosphere of the environment the character is in.
