Black by Criterion (those fellows that brought us the Burnout series) is one hell of a shooter. Burnout is racing games boiled down to the adrenaline rush of just racing. Black is first-person shooters boiled down to just shooting. I have gotten through the first three levels (about two and a half hours of play) and I must say, this is a fantastic shooter. This is gun pronography, it looks good, it sounds good, and it shoots good. Fun and what a rush! It isn't flawless (like there is no quick save in this game, and levels seem to be about an hour long), but it is well worth the play. I got the Playstation 2 version since it has been made abundantly clear that the Xbox 360 will not play the Xbox version of Black (and Microsoft is lagging on updating their compatibility engine).
