| A first-person shooter (FPS) is a combat computer or video game genre, which is characterized by the player’s on-screen view of the game simulating that of the character or First Person view. |

| "The very attempt to bring a player into the game space through the screen by means of a first-person point-of-view is, ironically, inconsistent because the first-person point-of-view assumes that the player herself can be caught into the structure of the game and can then be incorporated into the game space. In this way first-person perspective assumes that by enveloping the player as the player into the game space, the player becomes part of the structure of the game space" |
| "first-person games posit that the player can assume the perceptions of the player-character and then merge with the player-character through the limited perceptual apparatus afforded by first-person games" |
| "This is how most first-person point-of-view games operate, by allowing the player to function on the space, but not within the space" |
