I'll start off with my list 1. Deus Ex 2. Half-Life 3. Team Fortress 2 4. System Shock 2 5. Starsiege Tribes 6. Halo Combat Evolved 7. Crysis 8. Marathon 9. Doom 10. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Also, please don't add games like Portal, Thieff 1 and 2, Mirror's Edge or any Metroid Prime game. They are not first-person shooters. Just because a game is in first-person, doesn't automatically make it a FPS.
Cause, it's not mainly shooting focused. 75% of the game is made up of puzzle solving, exploration, and platforming. It can barely even qualify as a shooter. Considering the combat models is weak and bland. Even Dues Ex and System Shock 2 allows players to play it mostly as a shooter. Even Retro Studios declared it as an First-Person Action/Adventure game, not a FPS.

I guess your right, but I always considered an FPS (It's first person and it has shooting)
1. Halo Reach 2. Portal (first person shooter, i have a gun, its first person, i shoot, sounds like a fps to me) 3. Bioshock 4. Modern warfare 2 (oh yeah, i said it!) 5. Doom 6. Doom 2 7. Halo 3 8. Bioshock 2 9. Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare 10. Timesplitters 2
1. Halo Reach for me, haven't enjoyed one as much. And it's not hype talking because I got Halo 3 the same way and didn't enjoy its campaign. 2. SWAT 4 3. COD 4 4. Halo ODST 5. BioShock Meh, that's about it. 007 and PD were cool back in the day, but I wouldn't like to play them today.

Maybe you could call MP3 a shooter, but MP1 and 2 were a lot less. Not that it's bad if it was, but if it was a shooter it would be TOP of my list for sure :P (MP1), and TBH I played Fallout 3 like a shooter (levelled up weapon accuracy, etc)
[QUOTE="kipohippo021"]1. Halo Reach 2. Portal (first person shooter, i have a gun, its first person, i shoot, sounds like a fps to me) Oh, please. It's mainly a puzzle game. It's not as if you're attacking or combating anyone with the Portal gun. It's not an FPS. I never saw one website ever nominating it for an "First-Person Shooter of the Year" award.

I can't believe gamers can be this thick. Indeed, if it's an FPS it's a bad one. If it's a puzzle game it's a good one.
Can I name 10 I truly can call my "favourite"? (no real order, just a list)
1. The Ultimate Doom + Doom II: Hell On Earth + The Final Doom 2. System Shock 2 3. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay 4. Star Wars: Republic Commando 5. STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl 6. Day of Defeat 1.3/Source 7. Call of Duty + United Offensive 8. Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil 9. Timesplitters 2 + Future Perfect 10. Perfect Dark HD
Games that are in first person... but aren't necessarily shooters and I prefer them to most shooters:
- Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines - Metroid Prime - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Condemned: Criminal Origins - Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - Mirror's Edge - Thief: The Dark Project + The Metal Age

I'm not sure to qualify The Chronicles of Riddick as a shooter. Since half the game is about exploration, stealth, and melee combat. Then again, it does offer more gunplay than Metroid Prime.

The first half of the game is more focused on stealth and melee... the second half is straight up shooter. The ending sequences especially.

HL2 features a lot of puzzle elements as well... does that make it not a FPS? I'll admit, Portal was exceptionally puzzle heavy... but it is a FPS at heart, but non-traditional. Much like Mirror's Edge or Condemned: Criminal Origins.

Much like Mirror's Edge or Condemned: Criminal Origins.No, it's just a puzzle game in first-person view. There's shooting, but there is little combat use for it. Half-Life 2 is very combat focused, but it has puzzles and other gameplay elements. However, Half-Life 2 is primarily combat focus. Mirror's Edge isn't a shooter either, it's a first-person platformer. Condemned is a survival-horror game in a first-person view point.

Hell, Deus Ex is 75% FPS if you play it that way.

Although because alot of fps's are that way, people think like that.

Joke list? Have you played Other M? Its a 2.5D side-scroller/3D action game. You might have been closer had you mentioned Prime 3: Corruption, or the other two Primes... but Other M?
I don't play many first person shooters, as my list will suggest:
Goldeneye
Modern Warfare 2
Timesplitters
Halo
Halo 2
If you count the Metroid Prime games (which I absolutely do not), they would take the top spots, in order of Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 3 and Metroid Prime 2.
Dude, did you play Blood? It was IMO the best game made in the BUILD engine. It had a fantastic sense of humour. The first episode was awesome, but the second episode had a whole series of levels from Steven Kings The Shining.

I never played it but i just saw a few vids on youtube. I need to get that game!!!
forget fps only, shooters in general: #1- Cod4* if you play it right, and not like a retard vs retards who only use "noob" guns & perks, the competitive aspect when you are actually playing skilled people is great, nothing like snd in a tournament ha been as much fun #2- battlefield 2 #3 - mw2* same as i wrote for cod4 #4 -rainbow six vegas series - most tactical #5 - halo 2 #6- rfom - online, probably the most skill oriented game ive played, you need to have good aim for yourself, 11 shots to the head to kill, and even sniping took skill #7 - socom 2 #8 - Halo 3 #9- Gears 1 #10 - tf2
