Abstract: The first time I played Halo, it really irritated me that melee attacks were so powerful. It's actually better to smack an opponent with a pistol than to shoot him in the face with it. How stupid is that? But eventually, I got it: Halo's unusual elemen...
Abstract: Brink begins with a 40 minute long tutorial video, which you're coaxed into watching with the promise of 1000 experience points, yet rather quickly realise is utter shambles and really needs a 'Show, Don't Tell' sticker slapped on it. Actually, we're m...

Abstract: The First Person Shooter (FPS) genre just refuses to die down for even a little while doesn't it? We're treated to endless quantities of titles that promise to differ from others that have been released over the years, and more often than not they prove t...

Abstract: The narrative potential of its setting – an overcrowded floating city that is humanity's last refuge after sea levels rise – is lost in the rush to the action. The campaign missions are few and the team interaction at the heart of the game feels empty whe...
Smooth free-running system; plenty of customisation options; fosters teamwork among players.
Not much content; limited number of maps; AI allies are dumb.
Brink isn't the sharpest shooter out in the market right now. There is no real single-player campaign (there are only 12 main missions) so it is mostly designed as a multiplayer affair right off the bat. The game's customisation options are great as i...
Brink ist eine nette Herausforderung für Multiplayer-Fans, für reine Solisten aber eher ungeeignet. Im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Schlauchshootern kommt es bei Brink sehr auf die Zusammenarbeit im Team an. Eine Weile macht es wohl Spaß, stetig an seiner...
