The Orange Box.

Half-Life 2, Episode One, Episode Two, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and the false hope that VALVe will ever release Episode Three in our lifetime for only $19.99!

System shock 2, its awesome.

 

[CrustyOatmeal]

metro 2033- a shooter with a bioshock-esk vibe with a hint of survival horror to it and a very interesting barter system to it (your good bullets are your money)

but you can get every game valve has ever made for £50, and kill that false hope with the distinctive number of 2s but distinct lack of 3s.

Also if your cheap you can always download Team Fortress 2 for FREE! Perhaps the most polished shooter in history, for absolutely nothing.

System shock 2, its awesome.

You wanna be very careful with System Shock 2, it's a truly fantastic game (as is Deus Ex), but these games have aged just horribly. If you're the type of person who really enjoys Call of Duty (particularly Modern Warfare 2), you most likely will not like System Shock 2 or Deus Ex.


OT: I recommend the entire Half-Life series; Half-Life epitomizes what a great single-player FPS should be, and hasn't really aged at all (at least, HL2 and on hasn't). Also, Borderlands is pretty good, and if you don't like how piss easy Fallout 3 and NV are, definitely check out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series; those games are considerably more challenging than Fo3/NV.

 

[gruggins]

pathologic. one of the most depressing fps's you will ever play. period.
you get to kill children....
how many fps games let you do that (outside of bioshocks annoying "morality choices")?

or possebly metro 2033, s.t.a.l.k.e.r. call of prypyet and cryostsis are all good games too

System shock 2, its awesome.

Its great even now I played it like half a year ago and its really good and scary.

 

[IBlackKiteI]

Metro, give it a look.

Also you might wanna give S.T.A.L.K.E.R. a look. I can't promise you'll enjoy it, but there is nothing quite like it.

You are doing it wrong.

theres 3 c's in the title

also duke nukem forever "it's good!"

Okay I have to be the one to question this... are you serious?
I don't want to 'nuke' the game or anything, cause Randy Pitchford might have a breakdown on twitter again. But that game was more disapointing than the new Star Wars.

Aside from mocking people more successful than me (population serveral billion), L4D2, lots of fun people to play with and because of that, best replay value.

o thanks

 

[Skorpyo]

Hell, why not stress-test the whole system!

Crysis. It's fast-paced AND incredible.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Metro 2033. Excellent story with the most detailed graphics found anywhere.

metro 2033- a shooter with a bioshock-esk vibe with a hint of survival horror to it and a very interesting barter system to it (your good bullets are your money)

I'll add a third vote for metro 2033. Fantastic, haunting game.

The Valve complete pack is what you should get, but wait 'til it goes on sale.

Also:

>gamepad

You are doing it wrong.

Nothing wrong with playing a shooter with a gamepad... on a console. But PC FPS games are meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard. If you don't know how, learn. It's better that way.

Also, Windows XP? Why the hell are you still using XP? If you've got something that can run games well enough, then you need to get 7 pronto!

Cant agree more on the Windows 7 part, its been a blessing.
Even though Windows Vista worked GREAT for me 3-4 years. Dont ask me how...

THe xbox 360 controller is great, I bought it for emulators and future ported games. And I do find it enjoyable in FPS even though I have played with mousenkeys all my life.

OT: THeres lots of good FPSes out there, my tip is to go to steams store and check the bars to the right of the selected games storepage. THere you will see if a controller is supported, if it is all you have to do is plugin the controller and start the game for full controller experience. Fallout 3 is very relaxing with a controller IMO.

well sorry i didnt realise you would be so sensitive my xp has lasted me 8 years, and if it can still run recent games like Fallout:New Vegas then i suspect its going to last me a little while longer.

secondly: yes, i use a gamepad for some of my shooters. the more important question is do you have anything to say thats actually ON topic?

 

[Rooster893]

You need to play Deus Ex or Half Life.

Both are amazing FPSs.

 

[WhatHityou]

Team fortress 2 is now free to play I recommend that because

a)it's very well designed

b) has controls that ate gamepad friendly

C)IT's FREE WHAT ELSE COULD YOU ASK FOR?

Never finished it. FOR SHAME. The broken stealth and omniscient AI killed it for me, especially in the Third Reich =(

OT: If you liked Bioshock, the second one is a good shooter too. I've been playing Homefront to death lately, the multiplayer is rather good.
