Geist - Nintendo's FPS To Watch?

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to N-Sider's in-depth coverage of the forthcoming Gamecube FPS, Geist. This title was shown at E3, but the article goes into a lot more detail than most about the game, which is being co-developed by N-Space and Nintendo. Geist is described as "..a hybrid title that combines the fast-paced action and perspective of a traditional first person shooter with stealth-based game play and a unique new mechanic: the ability to 'possess' other characters in the game." Perhaps not unique, since Shiny's Messiah did something similar, but with competitive-looking graphics and multiple ways around problems ("while watching people play the demo, I noticed no one person played it the same"), it's possible that some of the developer's earlier titles may be improved upon.

Screenshots here. I have been looking for a decent console FPS for awhile now ... this one looks promising. For me it really all depends on the controls!

I had a chance to play this at E3. You can see my impression here. It's a really cool game. It felt a bit early, but it should be awesome by the time it's out.
