Yeah, well, I guess Portal and Portal 2 are more first person puzzle games then, and Elder Scrolls is more first person role playing game?

Sounds tasteless.

Yeah, Descent qualifies as FPS, albeit it's very different from the traditional ones.

Fallout 3 I don't even wanna mention. Talk about shitting all over the Fallout franchise... The plot was bland as fuck, it felt incredibly tame compared to Fallout 2, the guns weren't as satisfying and the decision to not include bloody mess from the beginning annoyed me. In general, the whole game annoys me, especially when it decides to crash for nothing at all. But for what it is, it's an okay RPG/FPS hybrid. I just don't think it's as good as Fallout 2.

I count Portal as FPS, albeit with a heavy focus on puzzles. And Oblivion and Skyrim have always been, in my opinion, first person shooters with a heavy amount of RPG elements. Here's my own top 10: 10. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Had to put this on the list from the shere amount of hours I have put into it. At the moment it's my favourite multiplayer FPS, for several reasons. It runs smoothly, has a great variety of game modes and the different killstreak packages lets you taylor the game to your playstyle as you play it and unlock more abilities. Whether you wanna focus on teamplay or be a lone gunner, CoD has you covered. 9. Bulletstorm Bulletstorm pretty much plays on the "kill skill" gimmick where you get scored for killing your enemy in inventive ways. This makes Bulletstorm a ton of fun to play and gives it a ton of replay value. Otherwise, I feel it lacks a bit in the multiplayer department, but all in all a very refreshing FPS. 8. Quake Personally I prefer Quake to Doom, as both games are really similar, but Quake is a lot darker and more ambient, and has a more Lovecraftian feel to it. Not to mention Quake is probably one of the most widely used game engines ever, and the GoldSrc engine used in Half-Life derives from it. 7. Unreal Tournament Nothing beats the classic UT imo. One of the best multiplayer shooters in history and one that still holds up today in terms of gameplay. 6. Borderlands Borderlands is a pretty solid FPS and has a very open feel to it. It also has some RPG elements, and a very unique graphic style. 5. Gunman Chronicles One of the more underrated shooters I've played, Gunman Chronicles is a game that I actually prefer to the original Half-Life. It has more action, more dialogue and overall is a more interesting game to me. Not to mention the way you customize weapons in the game is entirely unique and a lot of fun to play around with. Still fun to play with others as well. 4. SiN Criminally underrated, SiN, using a heavily modified Quake 2 engine, offers a ton of features that were simply groundbreaking for its time. Most of all, the game featured in-game computers that could be used for pretty much everything from unlocking doors to scanning biosamples. It was also possible to hack into them using DOS-like command prompts and simple commands. Keep in mind it was released in 1998, several years before Doom 3 featured in-game terminals with far less interactivity. The outcome of the game also changed based upon your performance and how well you completed the mission objectives, making each playthrough of the game possibly different. The expansion pack Wages of SiN is also highly recommended to get with this game. It's the main reason I find Half-Life terribly overrated as this game offered a lot more but was quickly overshadowed. 3. Duke Nukem Forever I have never seen a game get so much shit thrown at it as this game, but personally I love it. I think it's one of the best first person shooters of all time and it's totally unique in my opinion. I love games that have balls of steel. 2. Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold How this never got more attention than it did is beyond me. Not only does it improve immensely on Wolfenstein 3D, it's also possibly the first FPS ever to feature non-hostile NPC's, replayable levels and also an interactive environment, beating games like Doom and Quake even. To this day, I think Blake Stone is one of the most underrated FPS's of all time and it definitely has held up well over time. The timeless retro 60's style design of the game makes it feel a lot like a futuristic James Bond movie. 1. Duke Nukem 3D The best fucking FPS ever made. Enough said.

Modern Warfare 3 is the first CoD game I've bought and really gotten into, and all i can say is that I pretty much think it's the best FPS available for the PC right now, especially in terms of multiplayer. It really suits my playstyle.

It's a genre that is pretty dominant today, so undoubtedly a lot of you guys probably have played a FPS some time in your lives. Which ones are your favourites?
-
I plan to do the same eventually.

But you said DN3D was better. So is DN3D better than the perfect? Yep. DN3D is beyond perfect. -

Raising the Bar is, imo, essential reading for any Half-Life or ValvE fan. -
Whatever, I do what I want.
