anyway...

single-player fps: half-life 2

3rd person shooter: mass effect (ha! i just wanted to include it, cuz i'm loving it; but seriously, it compares favorably to other 3rd person shooters! in fact, i'd say that its shooting portions are better than those in any 3rd person shooter i've played, with the (possible) exception of the max payne series)
