Half-life isn't really a shooter, since you mostly spend the game picking up things and throwing them.

And the other half you spend getting from point A-B in some sort of vehicle. Seriously it seemed that was the hole game for a while, bugged me. -.-
 
Halo seems to break that up nicely with vehicular combat, although it's still almost the same as clearing rooms, just clearing valleys instead. Some nice epic battles in wide spaces in 3.
 
I like chaotic FPS scenes, they just rule. Dozens of soldiers running at eachother , explosions everywhere, blood, screams etc. You get the picture probally.

Halo is still a pretty general FPS, but this a good thing, because they do it so well that its almost perfect, thus outrageously fun to play. I think anyone would rather play a perfect standard FPS over a creative FPS with a bunch of problems.
 
No, FEAR was pretty standard, you went in, cleared out rooms, fighting against an army of cloned supersoldiers, you have slowmotion, whoopy. It was well made, the graphics were great at the time, but its not really that creative. A game that is creative but has a lot of problems would be something like Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, or Dead Rising.

Acceptable targets tend to be countries that either no one hates (like canadians) or everyone hates (like english and americans for the french and french for the english and americans).

But you gotta admit, as far as horror games go, that one was win.
 
FEAR was most definetly win. Just like Halo was most definetly win. As I said, a game can be amazing without it having to go outside the box. FEAR does it, Halo does it, tons of games do it.

Hell, look at Serious Sam. Serious Sam is some of the most fun you can ever have playing LAN, and its just over-the-top bad-guy killing, wave after wave. It has next to nothing for a story, but its amazingly fun to play, so it totally wins.
 
As far as shooter games go, Portal definitely takes the cake (pun intended).

However, it's more about solving puzzles than going ninja on bad guys. The most violence you can cause is tipping over turrets and burning Glados's morality core.
 
I don't know why everyone likes Halo that much... I played Halo 3 on the Xbox 360... To me it was just an average FPS.
 
Unreal 2: The Awakening. I have EVERY SINGLE Unreal computer game ever. Unreal, Return to Na Pali, Unreal Tournament, Unreal 2: The Awakening, Unreal Tournament 2K4, Unreal Tournament III. My favorite was Unreal 2, since it was a GREAT sci-fi single-player game. Unreal Tournament III goes right behind it (despite the superior graphics), then comes good old 99'.
 
My first Unreal experience was Ut2K4 on PC. Needless to say it was win. I then got The Awakening for one of my consoles (Xbox or Dreamcast, can't remember which) and fell in love with both the single-player experience and the Impact Hammer.

Needless to say, when UTIII rolled around, it was a match made in heaven. I got the best of both: 2K4 style gameplay, and impact hammer <3.
 
Unreal Tournament numero uno is my favorite, as I have said before. It's just fun, the old-style graphics. I run around in my Ghost skin and headshot everything... and when I saw the cover of Unreal 2: The Awakening, I just NEEDED to get it. I saw pictures of it, and it had vehicles (which I don't think it does), cool characters, and awesome sci-fi weapons that really rocked socks. Unreal Tournament III IS fun, but like it's title, it reaches 3rd place. It's WAY fun to play, with AWESOME graphics (which I run at highest quality), and it's the same awesome old-school gameplay I'm used to. But sadly, the original remains UNDEFEATED.

Edit: I'm happy my dad exchanged my Playstation 2 with a Dreamcast. When I got the demo disk that had the trial for Sonic Adventure, I couldn't wait to get it. And then my dad walks in the house with it. I loved Sonic ever since... sadly, the movers stole my cord, so I can't play ANY of my old Dreamcast games when I moved to New York. /sigh
 
Well, that's new! You know, I don't really pay attention to too many things. I never knew that they actually UPDATE THE ENGINE! Thanks for telling me!
 
You're talking like you don't care about Gears of War! Seeing as you're such a huge Unreal Tournament fan you should know it has the same development team and physics engine as the Unreal games.
 
Actually, I don't know about the developers, but I DID know it runs on the Unreal3 engine. I don't own Gears of War, but I've played it. It's a GREAT game (I especially like the cover system), but I like Unreal better.
