Browser Game Pick: Bullseye (Zero Point Software)
Bullseye is a Unity-based 3D game created by Zero Point Software as a showcase piece for their upcoming first-person shooter release, Interstellar Marines. You play as a rookie marine who has to undergo a series of training modules, all designed to test his steady aim and gun handling skills. Points are given out based on how many targets you've managed to hit, and players are awarded anywhere between one to five badges depending on how well they do in every module.
This shooting gallery doesn't offer anything new that modern day shooters don't already have, but for demonstration purposes it couldn't have done the job any better.

Unity doesn't fail to impress.

Really amazing looking from what I see, but the framerate isn't passable on my old machine(I can't even play Canabalt without some frame slippage).
Amazing what a browser game can be nowadays.

Having 3D games in a browser in nothing special... they use their own plugin. Look at Jake2 which is a port of Quake 2 to Java as an early example. Now if you can do it in Flash which nearly every computer has installed, that would be impressive.

Looks impressive! Got a little sick though when the line 'You will believe' came by, but yeah.
Shame the browser game doesnt read my mouse input...

If I ever make a trailer I won't make the screen fade to black every 1.5 seconds. Brrr... but the screenshots in between look good.

Thats been on RPS quite a while ago. First i thought "Nice graphics but this got to be boring after a while..."
but exactly the opposite is true. I dont know, its carefully designed so the same stupid idea keeps you entertained for hours. Or it's just my simple mind that likes stupid ideas..

Yeah, I went in expecting to not be impressed when RPS posted it too.
It's bloody compulsive and they've got the chunkiness and feel of the weapons lovely.
So, yeah. Impressive.

It's great, I haven't played a shooting gallery game in years this good. I also love how weapon handling improves with XP acquisition. The graphics are also great. This should end up as a really good FPS.
