"FPS Absurdity" and the reason why genres based on presentation need to go.

CoD has explosions and Portal has portals, but they are both in first person and use projectile firing mechanics, so they are both FPSs. Presentation has very little to do with a game, since many different kinds of games can be presented similarly.

I think calling Portal a shooter is taking things too literally.
