The guys over at Bethesda have been working on a new first-person shooter called Brink. They claim that Brink is going to revolutionize the FPS genre and if the game itself turns out anywhere near as awesome as their latest cinematic trailer from the 2010 Game Developers Conference, then they might be right.

Brink’s key gameplay feature is what they’re calling S.M.A.R.T. (Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain) which works similar to the free running in Mirror’s Edge.

But will the game be the blockbuster hit that many believe the movie will be or will it be left in the shadows of this year’s best games? With the recent releases of some of the best games ever made such as Assassin’s Creed II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and Uncharted 2; it will be hard for Avatar The Game to win over hardcore video game fans and sell copies to anybody who isn’t a fan of the movie.
