The same is true for Quake, Quake 2, Half-Life, Unreal, and so on. In this way, the very best first person shooters can survive for years - Doom was released in 1993, and its mod community is still alive, kicking, and churning out cool stuff. This effectively increases the lifespan of a good FPS title by a great deal, since there are always new experiences just around the corner. Expandability allows players to modify their games, be it in the form of extra levels, custom graphics, or even completely new ways to play. Control is obvious enough when it comes to turning and target tracking, the mouse is clearly superior to a standard console controller. There are three primary reasons for this: control, expandability, and online play. Yeah, I'm first and foremost a console fan, but I just don't think FPSs have ever worked well outside of PCs. I've been playing first person shooters (FPSs) for the better part of ten years, and if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that PCs are the way to go if you want to see the best the genre has to offer.
