VE Votes 2006: Best First-Person-Shooter?

This week's VE poll asks, What was the best first-person-shooter from 2006? Vote on your right! And no, Gears of War isn't a FPS, which is why it isn't included (cough). I didn't put HL2: Episode 1 in there either, as its an expansion pack, but did include Sin Episodes because it is a stand-alone game.

Here are the results from last week's strategy poll: VE Votes 2006: Best Strategy Game?
Company of Heroes [1116 votes]
Medieval 2: Total War [261 votes]
Battle for Middle Earth II [157 votes]
Star Wars: Empire at War [128 votes]
Heroes of Might and Magic V [120 votes]
Darwinia [101 votes]
DEFCON [94 votes]
Rise of Legends [69 votes]
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos [96 votes]

HOMM V: Hammers of Fate

Out of distinctive reasons, the series comeback was made in a manner tributary to the original concept, refreshing the visual presentation and sending the partial failure of the 4th episode into oblivion (the fact is that I've never considered HOMM IV to be such a big sidestep, but more like a variation capable of educating its supporters in a particular style). Most of the blaming voices out there mustn't forget that a good thing can only be seldom improved (in a true sense), and the virtual world already proved us many times that such maneuvers are just samples of a favorable mix of circumstances. So, no matter how big it says "Heroes III reloaded" on the collar label, and despite the hardware requirements grown on the back of some questionable technological progresses, Heroes of Might and Magic V remains a 3D TBS title of reference, and with the aid of few patches and some "slightly" vigorous expansion packs, this aspect could end up being recognized on a somewhat larger scale.

The Tuesday Shipping Fest

The holidays are on their way,and so game publishers are shipping games out faster than anyone can imagine. If you count our earlier news item about Sonic shipping, you'll have six new games headed to stores today. Take a look.

Warhammer: Battle for Atluma: It's hard to imagine that Namco's shipping this Warhammer electronic collectible card game for PSP, so close to shipping Mark of Chaos for PC. Nobody even knew about this game until about two weeks ago, and by looking at the older screens (dig up our old news item in our fancy new search) - we can see why.

Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate: An expansion for the patch-fest that was Heroes of Might and Magic V RTS. New factions, new campaign, new missions...you've heard it all. But really, do we need an expansion so close to when the full game shipped? Is this Nival and UbiSoft's version of the Xbox Live Marketplace style of game publishing? Just on the PC?

Monster Bomber - Oh look, another puzzle/bubble popping title for DS, but this time, you fling bombs at monsters.
