Can only 7 games capture the essence of what multiplayer online FPS's are today?  Next we get a tiny glimpse of Resistance 2, but it leaves us wanting so much more.  Speaking of short, uninformative trailers, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway released a brief video displayed their generic shooter, get excited!  Crytek is flaunting their fancy new game engine yet again as they've collaborated with Bethesda to render The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the CryEngine 2, pure awesome.  Hey guess what!?  The TF2 update is... almost out...  But this time Valve has clued us in on exactly what we'll be seeing for ze Doctor.  Quake news is rampant this week, with three different stories: the Quake family tree, Quake Live info, and an ETQW promo video.  And finally, some insight into the CGS Training Camp.  Hit the jump for the episode and more.

For the upper middle class game developers, the CryEngine 2 is the perfect choice when considering their engine options.  Probably a bit more costly than say the Unreal Engine but you'll definitely get the bang for your buck, as we saw delivers in the graphical masterpiece that is Crysis.  I've already hurt my brain just thinking about what this guy said about Portal, GlaDoS, Chell, and everything I came to see as mere sarcasm in my favorite puzzle game to date, but you'll have to read it for yourself to understand what I'm getting at.  Fistful of Frags is now at 1.35, and since we're not jumping up the full .1, this patch isn't anything groundbreaking.  Have you got tired of owning noobs withe the conventional mouse and keyboard setup when playing Quake 3, why not try it on your iPod Touch?...  And score one for the little guy, the "boycott" of Bad Company is a success.  Read on for everything, plus some funny pictures.

An amazing FPS for five bones!?  I'm there, or was this past weekend when Prey was made available on Steam for $5.  Quite the bang for your buck.  It's good to hear other gamers feel similarly about Bad Company's DLC weapons, as we've found a "Boycott BC" video.  Valve sneaks into the news this week with a useless TF2 update, the exception being a well placed Medic nerf.  While on the topic of useless updates, Crysis has been patched to 1.3, but better yet, we found an awesome video on Crymod.  In the competitive world, Team Complexity and Team 3D recently announced a book on their rivalry is being published by a stalker writer who followed the teams for a year and a half conducting "research" on them...  Finally, GotFrag is attempting to revive a competitive title near and dear to me, good ol' Counter Strike 1.6.  Hit the jump for all the links and this week's installment of FPS Weekly!

Dynamic destruction, something not yet seen, but well attempted by Battlefield:Bad Company as we try out the multiplayer beta this week.  Something I can get excited about is those new maps the X360 CoD4 players get might be coming to the PC (and PS3).  Speaking of our favorite FPS's, TF2's Robin Miller did a Q & A with Valve talking about the new features coming in the next big update (Medic unlockables, Goldrush, etc.).  And as this is recent news, we didn't find out a date till after recording the show, this update is claimed to come out the week of April 20th.  Next on the docket, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky has an announced release date, and I can't decide if I'm interested.  Speaking of games and release dates, Haze fails again... But this is really cool!  Hit the jump for the show.
