Need a new FPS game.

I had pre ordered hellgate London, and was hoping to play that for quite some time. I even went as far as to upgrade my system 350 dollars, adding an 8600gts OC. Now I am realizing that HG:L is the biggest piece of **** I ever laid my eyes on, and so I cancelled my preorder. Rather than saving the 60 dollars and investing it in the bank like any logical person would do, I want to blow it on another videogame, preferably for the PC since I just spent that money upgrading it and for what now, online poker? To give you an idea, I am looking forward to Unreal (PS3), COD4(PS3), and I mainly enjoy first person shooters. Typically traditional ones such as WWI and WWII I am realizing are my best bet, though I am open to any and all suggestions. I also have a PS3, though I only rent games from gamefly for my PS3, so I want to buy a good game for the computer. I am thinking BioShock, though I am afraid for 60 dollars it might be fairly short? Also, I wouldn't mind trying an older game as long as the graphics don't make me vomit. Would Vampire:Bloodlines look decent for todays standards and have good gameplay? Just looking for something out there to try, thanks!

orange box on steam?

unreal 3 and cod 4 are coming to pc also

just briefly what was so bad about hellgate (I'm assuming you had the beta?)

As for unreal, COD4, and orange box I'm awaiting them all for PS3 (no matter how long the delays lol).

As for Hellgate, I don't even care if I break the NDA because I just cancelled my preorder. The beta was chalk full of bugs, which you would expect from a beta, but every patch that came out filled the game with more bugs rather than take some away. The latest patch gives you an infinite download loop while trying to load the game, which crashes to the desktop and restarts the game every time. Didn't happen before the patch. And I think having problems in an early beta is one thing, but the game is being SOLD at the end of the month (meaning it will start to be manufactured and distributed very soon) so these major bugs are really not acceptable in my opinion for an online-heavy game. As for gameplay, this is a personal feeling, as many would disagree with me, but it was completely bland, there was absolutely zero skill whatsoever. You hold the attack button, wait to kill the guy (rarely, RARELY dying), and move to the next guy. The bosses were the same, except you ran in circles while shooting/fighting, and it just took a few minutes to kill rather than seconds. This could completely change by retail, and you may find that type of gameplay fun and justifying, it just isn't for me; way too boring! I'm probably going to get raped by HG:L fans now, so see ya.

Because Hellgate: London is out and finished rather than still being in beta. Genius...
