'Quantum Leap' Awards For FPS Games Revealed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-want-to-play-a-quantum-leap-game-now dept.

simoniker writes "As voted by game industry professionals, the results of the Quantum Leap Awards for the first-person shooter genre have been revealed, honoring the titles which 'brought the FPS genre forward' in the biggest ways. The winner is a truly classic title, but there's at least one seminal FPS that, surprisingly enough, didn't make the top 5." The top 5 are, from 1 to 5, Half-Life, Quake, GoldenEye, Wolfenstein, and System Shock 2.

  1. Funny thing about halflife... by Fyre2012 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Am I the only one with this symptom?
    When I play HL2, I become terribly nauseous after about 20 minutes of gameplay.

    This is unusual because I play plenty of FPS's, and have been doing so for some time. I never have this problem after 3 or 4 hours of UT or Quake. Only HL2. Not even HL1.

    I recognize that FPS' tend to cause motion sickness in rare cases... but what the heck could make only a single game have this effect?

    Yes, it's a little o/t, but i imagine the /. crowd would have a better idea of what i'm talking about than anyone.
