John Romero Considers Half-Life 2 A Perfect Shooter

If anyone knows a great first-person shooter when they see one, it’s John Romero. As one of the early pioneers of first-person shooters during a time when game development was seeing many of its most significant innovations, Romero and his contemporaries essentially wrote the book on shooting games. Romero has also quite literally written his own book recently, entitled Doom Guy: Life in First Person. Leveraging his incredible memory due to a rare condition known as hyperthymesia, Romero’s book is a shockingly detailed recounting of his perspective as someone at the cutting edge of game development.
