What’d you think?: Light gun games, at home, are mostly a relic of the past now. Due to the way light guns work, they more or less require a CRT monitor to function properly. Though I used a CRT way past the point where most people had switched over to flat panels of some variety, even I got with the program about five years ago. Thus, I had to play this one with the GunCon functionally emulated with a mouse, which I had to switch the lowest DPI setting available to make it controllable. I had fun with the solid variety of minigames Point Blank 3 has to offer, but deep in my heart I know that clicking on a thing isn’t anywhere near as satisfying as pointing a cheap plastic pistol at your TV and blowing it away.
