Tom Clancy sure knows how to drive me bananas. At his best, Clancy weaves compelling yarn that can hook readers until there are no pages left to flip. At his worst, Clancy puts me to sleep with all the digressions that he probably considers as “details,” but end up having no bearing on the overall story. That pretty much sums up Rainbow Six, the decade-old novel that’s tied-in to the tactical FPS of the same name.

Every site has its share of year-end awards, so here’s FPS Rantings’ take on the best shooters this year. Yes, they’re placed in order of awesomeness.
