What's your favorite First/Third- Person Shooter Franchise?

For the first-person shooters, I have to go with BioShock, hands-down. Third-person would have to be Red Dead Redemption, even though it's a lot more than a typical TPS game.

Syphon Filter.However there hasn't been a new entry in the series in 14 years :(

For first-person it's Halo, for third-person Gears of War.

Very hard choice... The obvious answer is Half-Life, since HL2 is my fav game.

But Halo would come very close overall.

Dead Space/DOOM/Halo/COD. They're all pretty much even. I like to kill things.

Also, is S.O.C.O.M. any good? I never played any of them...

Back during the PS2-era, Socom was basically the call of duty of today. People all over were crazy about the mutiplayer and most discarded the single player which was your stranadard affair of middle eastern and russian bad guys. At the time, it was pretty good and fun, but now in this post- Gears of Wars world, it's hard to say whether it still holds up.

In short incriminates, I've enjoyed most of the games on your list, but Team Fortress 2 is the only one I go back to often.

I see. Well, sounds like I missed out. Thanks for enlightening me though.

Happy to help :)

First person - Battlefield, 3rd person -Tom Clancy ghost recon

I guess Resident Evil.

@Pffrbt

I also wanted to bring up President Evil but considering the game's origins I just wasn't sure.

Omega Strain, Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow are all legitimate entries in the series, especially OS

Yeah but none of them were a major hit, namely Syphon Filter 4.I played DM ad LS on PSP and got disappointed

All those games I shit I don't play any of them.

The Omega Strain is pretty much SF4; if you come by it, give it a chance, it's a really fun game and fine entry in the franchise

for me, splinter cell is not a shooter and red dead isn't a "franchise." in fact, until, half-life 3 comes out i'm discounting it, as well.

regardless, halo is by far the best.

Bioshock and Wolfenstein.

@udUbdaWgz1

Its a "Partial Shooter" :)

@Lulu_Lulu: ya, sure. explain to us the detail of the other half.

@udUbdaWgz1

What other Half ?

@Lulu_Lulu: lol, huh? the "partial" part, of course.

@udUbdaWgz1

Well its not in halfs, theres more than two parts.

@Lulu_Lulu: ah, then, give me a run-down on it's third primary gameplay component.

@udUbdaWgz1

Espionage ! :)

For FPS: TimeSplitters Closely followed by Doom

For TPS: Max Payne

@udubdawgz1: Red Dead has already been announced as a "permanent franchise" by Take- Two and will most likely have a sequel coming. And if you weren't aware, Red Dead Redemption isn't the only game in the series. Red Dead Revolver was the first game. I guess you can count Undead Nightmare as a game too since it was available as a standalone at retailers.

COD

Only one ppl play holla

FPS- Wolfenstein

TPS- Dead Space
