New Review Posted: Cold Winter

[Daniel Weissenberger]

I review Cold Winter, and it leads me to wonder about the limitations of the console FPS:

"There's nothing easier than firing a gun. Point at something, pull a trigger, and a bad thing happens to that something. Throughout human history, if one person wanted to kill another, they needed one of two things: the element of surprise, or a physical advantage (size or skill). The invention of the handgun has rendered both of these factors irrelevant. Now anyone can kill anyone else at any time by just pulling a trigger. So why do console controllers make it so difficult to do in First Person Shooters?"

There's specific references to the game here.

I'm going to have to give this baby a whirl. I thought it sounded promising but the only merely good reviews made it seem less appetizing. Now I've got my appetite back.

I can't claim be to be a big comics nerd, but I can tell that Warren Ellis rocks.
