For the last two and a half decades, the first-person shooter has been a mainstay in the video game world. Never shying away from a bit of controversy, they're typically games about killing hundreds of bad guys in sequence on a Rambo-like rampage through levels.

But shooters aren't all bloody rampages without meaning, style, or substance. In case you're not too well-versed in the genre, or just need some good recommendations, here are a selection:

The Telegraph have put together a list of the best shooting games, from the bombastic gorefests to smaller indie affairs.

Chilling! This show exceeded our expectations. We were expecting it to fill the Breaking Bad whole in our heart and it definitely did so. Now he doesn't go all "I'm the one who knocks" but he does keep his family safe in his own way with just a little bit of luck and a whole lot of finesse. I love seeing Jason Bateman in serious roles. He does funny well but serious is great for him too.

Typical Ritchie editing doesn't suit this type of film
Not the King of this story
It's not bad, but it's far from the best film about King Arthur and Excaliber. The Sfx are good and so are the fight scenes. There are too many characters and it times it has a lock stock, Snatch style elements to it. They didn't suit this film at all. It's ok but doesn't take the crown.

Better than expected
It's not as bad as some critics suggest, 15% Rotten Tomatoes?! 5.8 on Imdb. You know what to expect with this type of film. It has some good Sfx and action, stunt scenes. The plot and characters aren't great. At times I think it thought it was funnier than it is. Overall if you like the Brendan Fraser films you'll probably find this ok.

Ever felt like you're doing the same thing over and over again, but can't remember when? Yeah, that's this movie. You don't even get time to blink, it's simply straight into action, again and again. Surprisingly, you don't feel like the repetition is getting old. A fast paced, thrilling ride, right to the very end. Plus it's Stephen Amell's cousin so he's very easy on the eyes :p Not bad for an Netflix Original.

Great world building and characterisation. Margaret Atwood creates characters that are complex, not purely good nor purely bad but motivated by their experiences and perceieved truths. (0 more)
Intense in all the right ways
Maragaret Atwood is a superb writer, with fleshed out concepts that on the surface are dystopic but are mirrored in current society. This book is intense and emotive, as is its recent television adaption, highly recommended to those that can handle intense and adult themes.

Fantastic Teen Fiction
Rainbow Rowell knows how to relate to young adult readers and how to get "older" adults to reflect back and see themselves in the characters' situations. This book made me fangirl Rainbow so bad! Cath and Wren are twins trying to create their own paths as they step into adulthood. Cath struggles along that path

Anything 80's can't be too bad
Ernest Cline's futuristic novel references back to the 80's in many ways. The story of a kid in 2044 tied to a virtual world called OASIS has the chance to win the grand prize if he can beat the thousands of others to solve it. Love the references used through out the book and the culture of it. Great read, couldn't put it down. I highly recommend it.
