2010 was a big year for FPS games. For the past few years, Activision's Call of Duty has owned a near stranglehold on FPS gaming and this was the year that EA tried launching a counterassault to get some of that marketshare back. EA's three-pronged assault came at us this fall: MoH, BFBC2 and now the Digital Expansion Pack Vietnam.

Activision's response to all this was overwhelming: CoD: Black Ops. Black Ops set massive sales records...over $1B is the current tally.  Those are numbers that will surely make Riccitiello and his colleagues realize that they need to work a little harder if they want to topple the big boy on the block.

Sales are one thing...are the games worth playing? Is EA making progress? These are all the questions we look at on today's BASH.

On with me today are Sam (iBleedv20) our inimitable Crosshairs host (the corollary to BASH <--- inside joke) and our great friend Jim (aka Rudedog) from fpsadmin.com.

Thanks to both of them for joining me and looking back at the year that was in FPS-gaming: 2010.
