Killzone 2 is "barely mediocre"? (According to Surfer Girl it is...)

Since when is Halo genre defining, let alone for 2+ generations?

Bungie's own Marathon series is more genre defining, as they were the first to implement dual weilding.

As cklmb figured I was talking about console FPS games. Every new FPS that comes out is measured against it. That sounds fairly genre defining to me. Of course no console FPS could ever hope to define the PC FPS experience. Controllers just aren't built to play them well.

 Ah, so it's"genre defining" only when you remove an entire platform?

 I honestly view console FPSers and PC FPSers as entirely different genres. Games that work well on the PC simply do not translate into a fun console experience because of how differently they play. Team Fortress 2 is a great example of this. Halo is one that failed to grab success on PCs but has a huge console fanbase that even surpasses the FPS games thar are so great on PC but can't find as good a folowing on consoles.
