9 (Unconventional) First-Person Video Games You Must Play

1. Criterian's Open-World Stunt Game

The original Burnout didn't launch with any dedicated crash mode, but the brutal in-game wreck-physics were so popular that the series made it a core feature. Flash-forward to E3 2014, and Criterion shows us just how far their extreme stunt sentiments have come. In their new open-world, vehicular danger-game, we'll do crazy things with ATVs, helicopters, motorcycles, wing-suits, and a bucket-list of other unsafe ways to get around. As of yet, this project is so early in-development that it does not have a formally disclosed name. It's still in a very experimental phase. For now, we're calling it 'Psycho Stuntman Party,' which seems fitting, considering it's all being designed with co-op in mind. So... the old guard of virtual car pile-ups has banded together to make a game that's all about crashing and stunting in every other way... with friends. That sounds about right.
