[QUOTE="Trozyn"][QUOTE="foxhound_fox"] 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.

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. and mw2 is just a war simulator in first person? Cmon, lets not get into all these sub genres.Portal is then a sub-FPS, it's primarily puzzle game. Therefore, it's a puzzle game. Deus Ex and System Shock 2 are at least half-first-person shooters. Hell, Deus Ex is 75% FPS if you play it that way.

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.
[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.
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'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.
