Topic: Your Favorite 10 FPS?

Posts 1 to 20 of 57

I know this is a divisive genré here at Nintendo Life, but with the staff's recent review of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, I figured it's about time we discussed our favorites

For me (only 7, because I haven't played much):

7. The History Channel: Battle For the Pacific (360) - TBH, the only reason this game is on my list, is because I haven't played any more FPS games. As for positives, the controls work, but other than that, the game is simply bland. Sub-par graphics with samey environments, bland missions, and empty online await. It's cheap, though...

6. Blacklight: Tango Down (360) - It doesn't have a single player mode, but if your looking for an inexpensive alternative to the COD online experience, this is the game to get. It's not as fleshed out as the next game on my list, but it can still be fun to sit down & play, and the cyber look gives it a unique style.

5. Battlefield 1943 (360) - While it doesn't have a single player mode, it has fantastic online. Large amount of players, huge islands to battle on, with loads of vehicles to command, such as tanks & planes. This is an insanely fun way to spend an afternoon.

4. Call of Duty: World at War (Wii) - I bought this for my Wii after getting it set up for online, and boy am I glad I did. While the online chokes up from time to time, it was still a new experience for me, and I spent hours on it. The single player was fun as well, and the Wii pointer controls are a natural fit for the genré, that gives an unprecedented amount of control to the player.

3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (360) - It's controls may not be up to snuff compared to it's Wii brethren, but it's online component is years ahead, and if you turn your brain off, the game is a great showpiece of high octane action. Fighting through a suburban neighborhood, and fast food restaurants are admittedly some cool and unique locals for the genré, as well.

2. Portal (360) - Okay, this might not count, but I haven't played that many FPS games, so I'm listing it. A truly unique take on the genré, with mind bending puzzles, and some truly disturbing undertones.

1. Goldeneye 007 (Wii) - With highly accurate Wii pointer controls, unique additions to the COD playstyle (stealth takedowns & hacking), and classic James Bond soundtrack, FPS' don't get much better than this. The online isn't flawless (it is a Wii game, after all), but I still found it to be a blast, and there is pro controller support for those who want a more traditional experience.

I've also played my friend's copy of COD 2 at his house years ago, and own two Turok games on N64, but I haven't played enough to form solid opinions.

I can do a Top 5:

1. Halo 2 - I think I've spent at least 50% of my time on the Xbox 360 playing this game until the Xbox original XBL went down...

2. Halo: Combat Evolved - One of the few FPS games where I found myself saying "I can't wait to see what happens next!" on a very frequent basis. It's also the only FPS I can still play and get some amount of joy out of.

3. Crysis - I liked the demo at least...someday I'll get around to purchasing the PS3 version so I can play that.

4. Timesplitters 2 - I have never played the singleplayer, but skirmish matches against bots are pretty fun.

5. DOOM - It's hard as heck, but actually pretty fun. The later levels are hell to play, though...

Honorable Mention: The original Call of Duty. It's still pretty fun after all these year, but I still can't get myself to play much past the first level anymore...

Well, seeing as FPS make me feel sick, I almost never play them so:

2. Portal
1. Portal 2
Great writing, super fun mechanics, and challenging puzzles. I love those games to death.

I've only played the first one, but it was great. Other than that FPS games aren't usually my fav but I do like a few.

N64 Goldeneye: Classic
Tribes 2: Classic
Halo 3: There are so many, this is just the one I used to play the most
Borderlands 2: Been playing this recently and the RPG elements make it pretty awesome.
Fallout 3: I don't know if it really counts because it's just as much RPG as FPS, but it's an amazing game.

Tried getting into CoD, Battlefied, Killzone, and a few others but I just couldn't.

I want to enjoy a Battlefield game, but I can't last more than 5 minutes in any of those games. I'm told it's a team game, so maybe that's my problem, as I refuse to cooperate with a bunch of people I don't know.

Yeah, I usually just run off & do my own thing, lol. It's fun to get into a tank and just roll over everything, though. Planes are fun too, but are hard to control. I usually played as a sniper, though, so if I decided to get in on the action, I could just find out where everyone was fighting, and shoot the other team's guys from a distance.

I think the total amount of FPSes I've played would amount to 10... oh well.

1. Portal 2
2. Ace of Spades
3. Star Wars: Battlefront 2
4. Metroid Prime (I actually own Trilogy, but I'll count it as three seperate titles)
5. Tribes: Ascend
6. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
7. Star Wars Battlefront
8. Metroid Prime 2
9. Natural Selection 2
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I own the original Portal, so I guess that would make 10

[Edited by SkywardLink98]

My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.

Surprised by the lack of Metroid. I figured it counted since people are listing Portal

Why do people point to their wrists when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Ok, so here's what I can remember at the top of my head.

1. Team Fortress 2 - It's a fun game to play and watch, but it's no fun to play seriously
2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Good balance between fun and skill
3. Black Mesa (Half Life remake) - Frenetic, atmospheric single player shooting
4. Counter Strike: Source - gotta keep it classic
5. Metro 2033 - This'll be my big depressing story driven game since I haven't played any Bioshock titles
6. Cube 2: Sauerbraten - A freeware FPS for people who play Doom and Quake and think those games are too slow paced
7. The other CoD titles I've played for a little while (MW2, Black Ops, Black Ops 2)

always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)

Chrono_Cross

Call of Duty 4
Left 4 Dead
Perfect Dark
Counter Strike
Bioshock
Metroid Prime
Far Cry 3
Crysis 3
Halo Reach
Time Splitters 2


I'd say Battlefield, but looking back I never enjoyed the mediocre, shallow campaigns or its yawn inducing multiplayer. (3 was such a mess.)

Just for you.
