Humodour Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 So I've sort of been out of touch with gaming for a good few years now (since about 2004). I think I've mostly kept up to date on the latest RPGs, but the rest not so much. Please list all the half-decent FPS's you've played in the last 5-8 years, including the year they were released. I'm especially interested in games released in the 2001 to 2006 period. 2001: Red Faction Return to Castle Wolfenstein Aliens Versus Predator 2 Max Payne 1 Halo 1 2002: Jedi Knight 2 No One Lives Forever 2 2003: Jedi Academy Max Payne 2 2004: Bloodlines Half-Life 2 Halo 2 2005: Quake 4 2006: Half-Life 2: Episode 1 2007: Half-Life 2: Episode 2 What did I miss?

Hurlshort Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Portal is the only FPS recently that I really enjoyed, but I guess that's more of a puzzle game. I'd recommend Bioshock because it does a great job of creating a unique atmosphere and game space. I play all the Battlefield games too. BF2142 is pretty great.

GreasyDogMeat Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think one of the more intense/imaginative fps games recently has been Peter Jackson's King Kong & Chronicles of Riddick. Movie FPS games that were actually good? Yeah, I was shocked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristes Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I really enjoyed portal. I thought the half-life episode were a lot of fun. Bioshock was a lot of fun, but the endless respawns were a bummer. STALKER wasn't a bad game. I didn't go gonzo over it like some, but it had its moments, that's for sure.

samm Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Prey. With headphones and an X-Fi preferrably. Kind of innovative while being traditional enough not to feel lost.

Wrath of Dagon Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) I'm playing Halo 3 right now, seems pretty fun although the level design is really stupid. Edit: A great shooter no one has heard of is Project Snowblind, people complain it's pretty short. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is a really fun shooter that's different. Those are both Xbox titles though. The best tactical shooter I ever played is the original Brothers in Arms.

Calax Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Far Cry and Crysis are also some half decent games. Far cry is extremly difficult, but crysis has some really awesome visuals.

Gorth Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Painkiller ("Heaven has a hitman") Mindless, furious action from start to finish. Just plain fun. Released around 2004 I think. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Aristes Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Painkiller is still one of my favorites. So much so that I keep it around just to play every now and then. The ending on trauma is silly, but it's still fun to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 FEAR, Bioshock, Far Cry 2 come to mind. Also, I loved Republic Commando. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Humodour Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Cheers guys! Keep it coming. Also, mention any old FPS's as well if you could. Like Heretic 2, NOLF1, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Descent 3. Why? Because I need some games that run on Ubuntu through WINE, and old games are more likely to run.

Musopticon? Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Cliver Barker's Undying at least, 2001 material IIRC. Brilliant game. Chronicles of Riddick too, as was already pointd out. And Severance:Blade of Darkness! Yeah, it's a 3rd person action game, but it's godly and the bow zoom is an inclusive feature! Heretic 2 and Rune are good as well. Oh, and play the Legacy of Kain games, they should work decent. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.
