Top 10 FPS Games of 2012

6. Syndicate

Syndicate is a reboot of another classic franchise. Originally developed by Bullfrog as a tactical squad-based game, the Syndicate reboot is in development at Starbreeze Studios (creators of the excellent Riddick games) as a first-person shooter heavily immersed in cyberpunk aesthetics. 

Like Deus Ex, the game takes place in the relatively near future, with the technological singularity looming ever closer. 

Players take on the role of an Agent in the service of one of the setting's ruthless corporations, performing espionage, sabotage, and assassinations. 

In addition to the single player mode, players can team up in groups of four to perform cooperative missions, which are not unlike that of the original Syndicate.
