Corvus over at Man Bytes Blog is hosting a gaming blog roundtable on innovation in first person shooters. I was invited to participate, but my knowledge of shooters is severely handicapped by the fact that I suck at them.

Lots of great contributions though, and some interesting ideas on innovation in general. There’s a drop down menu that links to all the other contributions, so read away.

I think the roundtable is a great idea. The Carnival of Gamers is great, but a little wide ranging. I love participating in it, but the posts are a “greatest hits of the last month” type thing and there is rarely any dialogue between them. The roundtable has bloggers addressing the same issue, and are often inspired by the same games or concepts.

Thanks to Corvus for hosting this, and I promise to write something next time.
