Not quite sure what you are saying in that regard.

And Vegas?

Borrowed the First person perspective and matched it with an rpg. The first hybrid of its type to be put out en mass for this generation. In addition i found the Orange Box way more attractive due to the fact of my mediocre computer. Im sure there were others out there that felt the same way. As for Vegas, its probably the best tactical fps out. taking what was great about Gears (the cover system) and mixing it in with the Rainbow series.

I forgot to mention CoD 4. probably the best modern fps ever. The game seems to be getting more attention on the xbox than any system. The first maps were exclusive to the 360 for a week or so, and the controls work oh so beautifully. Add in some rpgish falvour in the multiplayer and a large variety of game modes = heaven!

Well won't comment on Oblivion, it bored me so didn't play it much.

I enjoy the Orange Box and don't get me wrong think it is an awesome deal, but I don't really see how it being on the Xbox helped the genre.

I'm pretty sure Vegas is more of an evolution of their own concepts, but again I've only played Vegas.

Bioshock showed that an fps can have a story that matches an rpg.

Also in development is Fallout 3 which will combine elements of oblivian and bioshock to make a post nuclear war fps rpg. cant wait.

Dyne said it, the hardware is its main problem. The RRoD is a nasty bitch and it's killing them. Granted, it has gotten better but it's still out there.

There's plenty of games out there and many of them are great but it's degraded into a sea of shooters when you're looking for a 360 game.

So much is wrong with the 360 but then so much about it is done right too so I can't complain too much.

RPGs were using First Person perspectives since at least back to the very first Ultima game (1980).
Tell your friends.
