Bitmap Books proudly presents Hurt Me Plenty: The Ultimate Guide to First-Person Shooters 2003–2010. The follow-up to I'm Too Young To Die, which covered First-Person Shooters between 1992 and 2002, Hurt Me Plenty celebrates almost 220 PC, console, handheld and arcade games.
Following the genre's meteoric rise over the previous decade, by 2003 First-Person Shooters had begun to diverge into big-budget blockbusters like Call of Duty, DOOM 3 and Half-Life 2, versus quirky surprises such as FireStarter, Cryostasis and Moon. Featuring in-depth research and hundreds of screenshots, Hurt Me Plenty covers both classic and obscure titles, alongside trends like the proliferation of multiplayer-only shooters, what digital distribution meant to games, the shift from WW2 to modern warfare, and a look at First-Person Shooters that were never released.
With a foreword by Harvey Smith (Deus Ex, Dishonored), Hurt Me Plenty includes in-depth interviews with the creative minds behind Call of Duty, Portal, Counter-Strike, BioShock, and many more.
Discover the stories behind hits like Crysis, Borderlands, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, and Halo 2, forgotten games like You Are Empty, Daemon Summoner, and Breakdown, failed experiments like Kwari or Shattered Horizon, and hidden gems like The Ball, TECNO: The Base, and Zeno Clash.
Priced at £34.99, Hurt Me Plenty is a 464-page hardback printed to the highest standards using special Pantone ink and high-quality paper, with an illustrated cover by video game artist Ian Pestridge.
Guaranteed to remind you of games you loved alongside titles you may have missed, Hurt Me Plenty is for retro gamers, anyone interested in the history of one of the biggest gaming genres, and First-Person Shooter fans who’ve stalked through jungles, dropped from orbit, or fought through hell.
