This edition of the Impulse Holiday Gift guide is going to cover one of the most popular genres in gaming – first-person shooters.  The PC is the perfect platform for FPS with great control over the movements and actions of your character, and most importantly – it’s just a tons of fun!  Impulse has a great selection of FPS games you can purchase and download right from the Impulse client.

View all our current first-person shooters here, and here are some favorites I recommend.


Battlefield Bad Company 2

This is my personal favorite FPS, so I’m glad to recommend it as I’m sure you will enjoy it just as much as I have.  This is a hugely popular game, and lots of people playing makes for some exciting multi-player action. ($19.99)
