Acronym for first-person shooter or frames per second.

DOOM and the Quake games are the most well-known games in the first person shooter genre. FPS games are generally rather gory and violent.

Frames per second is a measurement of the speed of a video recording or display. Fifteen FPS is acceptable for low-quality animation, twenty to forty for 3D games, and sixty for full motion video.

I like it!
