Best Story in a FPS (First Person Shooter)

I've been into FPS games lately,but a lot of them don't have great stories. Please tell the ones with the best stories or at least interesting ones.

I already have the games The Conduit and Black. Thank you in advance.

Bioshock of course, Star Wars: Republic Commando because it shows a unique perspective in the Star Wars universe, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, namely Shadow of Chernobyl (at least, I liked the story), and I guess some people enjoy Half Life's story.

edit: I guess the Halo series has a decent story, but that is mostly because of the back story and books (which I havn't read), so I don't know if that would be sorted under FPS game stories, but rather just Sci Fi universes.

Bioshock is undoubtedly in my first place, and then maybe Half-Life 2. I don't like the story in CoD games, but if you like adrenaline-rush and big set-pieces, you might like it.

The Half Life series.

Half Life, Half Life 2, and Bioshock

BioShock

Half-Life series, not even a contest.

Half Life 1+2, Bioshock, Deus Ex

The Deus Ex series has the best story ever seen in an FPS. Call of Juarez has some good story too. Obviously Half-Life 2, although we still have to figure out what's been going on and Valve won't tell us.

Bioshock had an excellent story and Modern Warfare 1 & 2's while short were very exciting and intense. My overall favourite would be the Halo games especially Halo 3 and ODST.

The ones that i can think of at the moment are either The thief series or Cronicals of riddick.

You got all the big, obvious ones covered, so I'm going to tell you to play The Darkness! That game is gonna be dirt cheap by now and even 2 years later is one of the best when it comes to storytelling. If you don't care about the having it be third-person, check out Max Payne as well, and that would be less than $5 by now.

I found Bioshock to have a pretty intriguing story.

Outlaws. (if you haven't played it, BUY IT!) PC

I think it would be a pretty even tie between Bioshock and the Half Life Series.

Half Life and Metroid Prime. Both of those can have you reading for hours about their imaginative backstories. Halo is also pretty good too.

:| Clearly very few people here have played Deus Ex.

Half-Life then BioShock. :)

half - life 1 is the all time champ for storytelling (although is 12 years old) closely followed by its sequel. i felt that bioshock had a fairly loose story and that atmosphere was more its thing...
