Will GTA IV blend?

The last time we saw Blendtec founder Tom Dickson, he did what the Covenant wasn’t able to do in three installments: turn Master Chief into space dust. Tom can’t seem to beat his grandchildren in Halo 3 so he took the game and pulverized its disk with his company’s blender. It looks like the Will […]

What’s your desktop like?

I believe that viewing one’s desktop gives us a peek at one’s personality. How? It’s similar to that TV show I was watching where two people set out to examine a mystery person’s house and belongings, then proceeds to deducing facts about said mystery person.
Well, seeing one’s desktop won’t necessarily glean the individual’s darkest secrets […]

A Happy New Year to you!

We shooter fans have been blessed in 2007. There were just too many games to play, and we’re still stuck with a huge backlog that could take until the latter part of the following year to unload. And for this, we’re thankful.
We’d also like to thank you, our dear reader, for coming back for more […]

What’s your preferred console for shooters?

It’s been over a year now since “next gen” has become current gen. While the Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 3 have been ranked in terms of sales, the debate on which is “best” continues to rage among its…enthusiasts. I’m not going to fall into that trap and set you up for a word war. […]

Meme mia! Time for a meme

I got tagged by my friend Mel for a meme, so I guess I have to humor him. The rule is seven random facts about one’s self:

I used to be an amateur basketball coach in our district. Yes, your friendly-neighborhood ranter used to stay at the sidelines, screaming oaths at a group of hormonally-imbalanced teens […]

FPS Rantings respawns

Alright, enough with the shooter metaphors. FPS Rantings is back. If it’s the first time you’ve visited this blog, you should know that we’re all about first-person shooters. Yes, those “murder simulators” that our detractors are so fond of calling. Philistines.

Just to clarify…

Just as a note from the Video Games Channel editor, Matt’s post came as a misunderstanding about the blog closing. There was a conversation about the blog’s progress, its future, and our hopes for its success, and Matt didn’t feel like he could devote more time to the blog due to his other commitments. As […]

FPS Rantings runs out of ammo

Well folks. Due to a lack of traffic and readership, the powers that be have decided to close the pages of FPS Rantings.
It’s been fun and I hope you all enjoyed reading my thoughts and sarcasm regarding the genre of FPS games.
Anyways, take it easy and keep on playin.

Happy New Years and stuff

So, brand new year. I hope everyone had a good time. We’re sorta kicking things off to an interesting start. Reader Phil sent me a link for a giveaway that Mountain Dew and KFC are teaming up for. Because, I’m sure neither of those companies could afford the prizes they’re giving away. Ultimate Gamer Sweepstakes […]

Game Hype and Press

While this isn’t exactly FPS news, I have talked about gaming hype before, and my stern disdain of it. Well I recently found an article on Kotaku that seems to have found a strong source for the hype itself. Press releases. They’re always positive. You never hear anyone talk about the game like it truly […]
