I don't know about all of the rest, but Portal and ME are First Person SHOOTERS? Portal seems to be only in the loosest sense of the word...

Anyway, I could never get myself into the genre, but it always amazes me how people gush over so many games within the same genre which are virtually identical in terms of things. I also thought it was funny that people thought it was original to put powers in an FPS (Bioshock; People love to also praise it for its atmosphere, and I'm not panning that part).

The atmosphere of the game is a given. Very well done there. For me, it's not just the fact that there are powers in the game, it's their application that makes them noteworthy. The whole "God powers avec glowing hand" goes back to Doom, but all you could do was just blow shit up gooder, hyuck hyuck. The powers aren't just a destructive bonus, they're somewhat essential to advancing the plot. Less of a last minute add-on, I guess.

Meh. First person perspective, move around, shoot things. Close enough for me. Granted, shooting isn't the main focus of gameplay in ME. But it sounded like he wanted something different in FPS so there it is.
