Metroid Prime 4... I wish

that's FPA.

That was an interesting discussion in the staff chat a few weeks ago or so.  I argued that the term FPA was only used because Nintendo fans didn't want Metroid to be thought of as anything close to Call of Duty and that no other game was thought to be in the subgenre.  What other games would you put down as FPA's?

there are tons of game out there that i would classify as that, just google search it and you'll find some.

that recent Moon Chronicles game seems like one.

So you think that Metroid Prime is more like Myst than an FPS?  I guess I'll just have to disagree then.  FPA seems to be an amalgam of different genres that were perfectly defined before and had no reason to be tossed together.  First Person Puzzle games, First Person Stealth games, and a few First Person Shooters that people decide for one reason or another shouldn't be thought of as FPS games like Half-Life, Bioshock, and Metroid Prime.
