FPS/TPS
A first person shooter (**//FPS//**) is a genre in which the player sees the action on the screen as if he or she were looking through the eyes of the main character he or she is playing. As expected, the shooter section of the term indicates that the majority of game play in these games will require the use of rifle or pistol type weaponry. While first person shooters are popular across multiple platforms, there are variations. One example is the tactical first person shooter, where the game play is less run and gun and more strategy based via the shooter element.

A third person shooter (**//TPS//**) differs only in viewpoint; instead of seeing out of the eyes of their player, they see from behind their characters shoulder.
