Which FPS?

Will · 25-10-2007, 20:47

I've played lots of these (these are the only PC games I really enjoy bar Civilisation which I loved, and Lucasarts adventure games (also Sierra ones)).

However I've lost track a little of what's out there - can you recommend me some that would be worth having a go?

I've got HL1 & HL2 (and getting the extra chapters)
I've got all the Doom series
I've got all the Quake series
I've got Mafia
I've got XIII (really good actually!

)
I've got MoH (plus add ons)
I've got COD & COD2
I've got Splinter Cell 1&2
I've got both Deus Ex
I've got both Max Paynes
I've got Return to Castle Wolfenstein too.

What ones do I need to try? I don't care if they are a little old, but I'm keen to try new ones too

I seem to remember in another thread that you'd already mentioned Farcry. That would make a pretty good addition. You've actually named most of the FPS's I would have recommended, but I would add Clive Barker's Undying to the list. Getting on a little, but swinging a mighty scythe and decapitating people can't be beat! I wouldn't recommend the later Splinter Cell games as you'll probably be disappointed like I was.

Edit: How could I forget my favouritest game/s of all time - Thief and Thief II! Sadly feeling their age now, but they're far superior to the second sequel, Deadly Shadows, although that one would probably run best on a modern machine.

Oh and I how could I forget, I've also got the Jedi Knight series too

Hey come on you get to use the force and use a lightsaber!

Is FEAR and/or STALKER worthwhile?

Deus Ex I
Max Payne II
HL II

Will · 25-10-2007, 21:19

Already got 'em

Belmit · 25-10-2007, 21:22

FEAR played like poop on my PC, although it was a couple of years old when it came out, but I seem to remember it is graphics hungry. STALKER is worth a buy at budget price but it does feel a bit like a 90% finished game. If you do a search you'll probably find my review of it in the main thread we had.

Oh, and if you don't have it already, Jedi Academy is definitely worth a go. You can choose your own dark/light powers as you progress and it has some great moments where you accidentally pull off some awesome combinations of moves and will no doubt bellow 'I AM OBI-WAN!!!!'.

(It's 3rd person though, Max Payne style.)

Nay my friend

Belmit - JKA is absolutely awesome

I hope they release another similar game soon!

Painkiller is fun if you enjoy the "switch your brain off" type games. I'd also recommend Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, built using the Source engine and very very good

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
