Free online first-person shooters are typically lackluster affairs - built on ancient engines by enthusiastic, but ultimately talentless teams. Combat Arms looks to change all that - sporting production values equal to that of many recent full-price titles.
Looks as though PlayStation 3 owners will actually get an early taste of the PlayStation 3 exclusive FPS from Ubisoft, Haze. The demo, set to hit the PlayStation Network in early May, will feature a small sample of the single-player campaign as well as online, four-player co-op gameplay. Can anyone give us a WOOT?

If you can’t get enough of teaser trailers that show nothing but CG animation, then the first video from Command and Conquer’s first foray into the FPS world will be right up your ally.

I caught up with Pawel Kopinski from Techland today at GC for a sneak-peek at their upcoming mercenary first-person shooter, Warhound.

Ubisoft have announced the follow up to the 2004 FPS smash hit, FarCry. In development at Ubisoft Montreal, the game is scheduled for a Spring 2008 release.
