Everybody seems to love an FPS these days, especially me, and this is why I have a smile on my face this afternoon due to Codemasters announcing a new shooter to be released in the first quarter of 2011 called Bodycount.

Little information is known about the game thus far, apart from the fact it is being designed by Creative Director Stuart Black who was involved in a fantastic FPS on the original Xbox which shares the creative director’s surname; Black. Bodycount is being developed the “EGO Game Technology Platform” and this will supposedly allow the game to feature cutting edge graphics, powerful AI and advanced physics systems.

Bodycount is featured in the latest Official Xbox Magazine issue which is due to release on March 11th, and the OXM describes the game as “a spectacular and frankly mental first-person shooter”. Consider me interested!
