This is a rail shooter. It has zero potential to do anything worthwhile...this is like those shooters you see at the arcades, only on a smaller touch screen.

Well, somewhat, but hey it's probably best to stick with simplifications and generalizations if you haven't tried something, right?

Games like Halo, Bioshock, The Last of Us etc. are remarkable story driven experiences. Angry Bird chasers will never be able to achieve that level of immersion or story telling. IMO they are cheap cop outs in order to make a quick buck.

And some thought stories were the domain of RPGs before Half Life and Halo and others started to spotlight the FPS's unique contributions...

This is a game that you play when you are bored on a bus or in between class. Something that you pick up and put down without any real care.

Sounds like a book. I've heard a few of those were good.
