If your world is filled with the latest technology, hot satellite internet deals and non-stop gaming then chances are good that you have placed a first-person shooter or too. For the uninitiated, a first-person shooter or FPS is a game where you are literally experiencing the action through the eyes of your character – you are the character.

People love these types of games for a number of reasons, but the biggest one of all tends to be the level of immersion involved. I’ve created a short list of 3 first-person shooters that demonstrate this immersion.

1. Condemned: Criminal Origins – Aside from a few cut scenes that take you out of the action, much of the game is in first-person as you stalk abandoned warehouses.

2. Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie – Most FPS games have indicators for health and ammo. This game has none of those, requiring you to take note of things like blurry vision, to indicate low health, and frequently checking your ammo clip to see how many shots you have left.

3. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth – Sanity plays almost as important a role as health, but you have no way of knowing your character’s level of sanity until the vision starts to blur and warp.

These are all examples of first-person games that immerse you in the gameplay through sheer subtlety of information, and if you are looking for an innovative experience you might consider looking these up.
