It’s a game that’s designed to… teach you how to play shooter games, instructing you on the basic (and more importantly transferable) skills required to put a virtual bullet in someone’s face.
There’s of course a catch: while it’ll be free to play, the game’s creators will be charging for various tweaks and upgrades. Some of the possibilities raised include charging to “skin” the game to both feel (eg player movement speed) and appear more like a specific title (eg Halo, Modern Warfare).

Anyway, I believe this trainer game is aimed at PC? I kind of need help for Xbox FPS. :(

I spent several hours trying to teach my wife to play Call of Duty 2 without much luck, she just couldn’t walk and turn at the same time. Ditto my dad, my son played Bioshock for a bit with grandpa and the whole concept of move left stick, look right stick was totally beyond him.
