With halo 3 finally out (and me having played the first couple levels, I must say i'm a bit underwhelmed.  I've got Gears & Bioshock, and not being a fan of the real tactical shooters (like GRAW and Rainbow 6) I've left those out.  As someone who has only played shooters on consoles Gears and Bioshock have impressed me to no end.  I loved Halo CE  but the third installment is just been there, done that.  
Halo may excel in multiplayer (Bioshock has none and Gears pales in comparison)  But in terms of graphics, gameplay, story, cinematics, & originality, Gears still reigns supreme to me with Bioshock a close second (only cause it doesn't have multiplayer.
So what's your fave shooter for 360 now?  Bioshock fans?  Tactical fans ready to rip on me for not saying more about GRAW?

I really don't know if I can answer this - which I think speaks volumes for the console as there are soo many great shooters.

I can't help loving gears even though on paper its actually nothing that new or great. It just plays really well and has great presentation.

Bioshock is an awesome experience - I think it should have scored the same as, if not higher than gears.

Rainbow six vegas is probably my most played game because of its addictive online play.

Battlefield 2 and then there is the COD's as well. Not even got ground to playing the GRAW's get.

Erm, i don't know???

I guess if cornered, i'd pick Rainbow six vegas - I think the game just works so well. It has everything is just the right amounts.

Halo 3 hands down. Its what ill be playing a whole lot of for the next couple years. Having a superb multiplayer and well Forge make this game hard for any other game to even come close to multiplayer wise in my opinion.

Personally I really enjoyed F.E.A.R. and Medal of Honour AIRBOURNE even if they were slightly glitchy. They have a lot of tension in the game and plenty of atmospherics. I've played Halo 3 new for a day and I really think the overhype killed it for mea bit. There's very little new stuff and I'm not a huge online player. If you're a huge Halo 3 fan, which after the 1st two I'm not, then you're going to enjoy it regardless.Bioshock and Gears leave this game well behind.

Thats one thing i like about having a 360 is that you have your choice of FPS games. I think the majority of them are good/awesome, but the ones that stand out to me are Gears of War, Bioshock, Halo 3, and Rainbow Six Vegas. For technical, hands down Rainbow Six, but for the SciFi shooter, its between Gears and Bioshock. Halo 3 is an awesome game, but it didnt do much different :(

Gears
Bioshock
Rainbow Six

when it comes to a good shooter there are a lot of things that make and break this particular genre. graphics, sound, music (i like to keep that seperate from sound since a game can have awesome fx but terrible music ex. burnout 3), gameplay, replay value, and story make up the foundation for a good shooter. however, its also the little touches of realism and detail that put games such as gears of war or halo 3 in the limelight. i'm not gonna pretend that ive played many shooters for the 360 but in respect to the qualities of a good shooter i would say that a game such as the darkness deserves a place of honor among the 360 classics. the only issues i had while playing the game was weak multiplayer (curse you halo 3!) and relatively low replay value. in truth i had much more fun playing through the single player in this game than i did halo 3. if you are new to the X360 scene then i recommend you buy halo 3 for its incredible multiplayer experience and the darkness to compensate for halo 3's letdown of a single player mode. btw if your a halo 3 junkie and reading this, which basically includes everyone who owns an xbox, i'm sorry but the "new and improved" style of halo 3 didnt beat out halo's original recipe and halo 2's extra crispy flavor. thats just my opinion though...
