That's not to say that armchair generals don't have a few cracking games to look forward to on the PC this year. Oh, all right then, and possibly even Command & Conquer: Generals, if you like that sort of thing. They're not quite here yet, but Doom III, Half-Life 2 and, god knows, perhaps even Duke Nukem Forever (ha!) are on their way, restoring the FPS game to prominence in the PC market after a few barren years which saw some pretty rubbish shoot-'em-ups being utterly eclipsed by the likes of WarCraft III, Age of Mythology, Rise of Nations, Medieval: Total War. You go from real-time strategy games to first-person shooter games, then back to strategy and back to shooters once more - a cycle which has continued, in some form at least, since id incubated Wolfenstein and Westwood dreamt of Dune 2.Īt the moment, we're very much on the first-person shooter end of that cycle. It's a bit of a generalisation, but you could probably make a strong argument that says that PC gaming moves through a cycle of two distinct phases.
