I always have a question in my head, "why is FPS so popular?"  Since the day when xbox launched and come along the game HALO......then i have never hear an end about FPS.  I am a big JRPG, puzzle and platfoming fans.  I willing to try on any type of games.  However in my opinion i found FPS is kind of boring and it kind of lack something in the gaming ingredient that will interest me.  No offence to all FPS lovers out there, but can anyone tell me why and what made FPS such a "revolution success"? 

I found over the past 10 years, we have been drowned by FPS _COD series, HALO1,2,3,Resistance1,2, Killzone1,2 and lot more.....maybe it is now has proved FPS is the best way for a game publisher to make money quick......but i just found over whelming by its all....am i the only person in gaming don't play FPS?  

Thank you

The online multiplayer is the main hook of the genre.

beacasue their fun?

Bald protagonists.

FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, because they're fun?

Heh. Yeah right.

It's because you get to kill aliens and hookers.

because they're fu...... mindless

I agree with the OP. There are too many FPS's and after COD MW2, I don't think it will be slowing down, sadly. I was late in getting into FPS, not until mid ps2 days, I played them a lot for a while , but I'm already starting to get sick of them. They're all the same. Run around and shoot. I don't get what's so fun about that. These days when a FPS gets announced it's like "another one?" and just skip over it. I admit though that I am interested in playing CODMW2, because I thought COD4 MW was great. I was disappointed in KZ2, COD WAW, RESISTANCE 1,2 , Conduit , Halo...and more.

yup...that's why we like them so much.
