I really should play more of them.funsohng
Yes.
aaaaaaannnnnnndddd.....
Good Lord, I have a disgusting taste in FPS.funsohng
Yes.
...
Just kidding. You're taste is just fine.
My top 5 (top 10 is too difficult):
1) Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl
2) Timesplitters: Future Perfect (yes it released in 2005 so I'M KEEPING IT!)
3) Team Fortress 2
4) F.E.A.R. (Had glaring issues, but damn that gunplay + AI combo was immaculate)
5) Crysis (again, had some serious issues. But that whole first half of the game was divine, and even some of the linear segments at the end were good too).
EDIT: I have not even played the following: Tribes: Ascend, Metro 2033 (I own it though), CS:GO, L4D2, ARMA 2 (I own it though), any of the Killzone games, any of the Resistence games, Red Orchestra 2, Cryostasis (I own it though), Borderlands series, and a host of other games I foegot to mention.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]Metroid Primekhoofia_pikaNot a shooter. It's a first person game in which you shoot using guns. By any reasonable definition, it's a shooter. Just a very different one.

It's just as much action adventure as shooter, if not more.
Games do not have to be one genre and one only. Or rather, they don't have to be crammed into just one of the big, established genres.

Just a very different one. its an fps, just like fallout 3 is an fps. just because they're hybrid genres doesn't mean those kind of games shouldn't count as fps games.
I've always regarded ARMA 2's in-game editor as an awesome feature of the game. I'm happy to see SW sees it that way too.
Not a shooter.[QUOTE="khoofia_pika"][QUOTE="charizard1605"]Metroid PrimeNeonNinja
Yes it is.
It has various other aspects like environmental puzzles and platforming, but it's still a first-person shooter.
A first-person shooter incongruous with all other games classified as first-person shooters, making the label virtually meaningless.

It's hardly an inappropriate label. Metroid Prime is a first-person shooter and it succeeds by taking a massive risk for the genre and pulling it off spectacularly. Whether people believe the label is deserved or not has little to do with the fact that Metroid Prime a sci-fi FPS. And a damn good one at that.

Its foundations have everything to do with previous Metroid games and virtually nothing to do with actual first-person shooters.
If Metroid Prime had been the first game ever made in which you shot a projectile weapon in first person, it wouldn't have come out much different because its ideas owe so little to the FPS lineage. Even when it had an ammo system (beyond missiles) in one of the 3 games, it handled it in its own weird way that resembles no FPS ammo system that I can think of.

The fact that it differentiates itself from other shooters does not mean it's suddenly not a shooter. It's unique. It's even amazing. It's also a shooter. The genre is not some taboo that shouldn't be attached to it. It is what it is.

I love shooters, they can be just as good as anything else. But Metroid Prime does more than differentiate itself, it has NOTHING to do with other FPS beyond the basic concept of using a projectile weapon in the first-person perspective.
When you assign a genre to a game, it needs to enable meaningful comparisons between that game and others in the genre, which is not the case when you put Metroid Prime in with Halo, Half-Life, Bioshock, etc. Doing that defeats the purpose of game genres.
