-Call of Duty 4
-Fallout: New Vegas
-Half-Life 2 Episodes
Bioshock and Fallout 3 also get honorable mentions. So do Portal 1&2, although I don't count those as real first person shooters, just extremely excellent first person puzzle games with shooter elements.

Mhh... Tough call... I mean, how do we classify "this gen"?
Based on the average timeline people are going with, I'm going to say, under no specific order:
1) TF2, pre-trash updates - It was just a very, very, solid and tight game. Now it's ok, I guess... Worth playing, but no longer the landmark it was.
2) L4D - Because it brought something new and never before seen (like that at least) to the table. Yes, L4D2 is a better game, and renders L4D mostly obsolete, but for the most part it's "more of the same". The way the single player campaigns are built, the director, the nice pacing...
3) BF:BC2 - Despite the terrible support by DICE/EA, mostly due to a rushed out "patched up" test engine, the game itself was fantastic, particularly the terrain interaction. BF:BC2 is like playing your favorite Hollywood action movie, and that is awesome. The ambiance from BC2 is something you don't find in other games.
I know it's "top 3", but I honestly can't leave one of these out, so I gotta mention:
4) Portal - "It's not a first person shooter!". Yes it is. It's first person, and you spend the majority of the game shooting stuff (portals in this case). That's how you solve the puzzles. It's not a "first person killer", but it's definitely a "first person shooter". Portal is, simply put, one of the best games ever made in any genre. It's beautiful, clever, innovative, well designed and just...damn near perfect.
So my "top 4" is basically 3/4ths Valve. Go figure.
[Edit:Apparently Oblivion can be first person. Still not a shooter.]

Third person.
Third person and not a shooter.

Deus Ex Human Revolution
Team Fortress 2 (Prior to the Mann Co shit)
Left 4 Dead 2
(I don't count the fallout games, for me they're RPG's with shooter elements)
Most of this generations shooters for me will be forgettable by which I mean I can't see me plugging in an old console to play them again, this includes Resistance 1/2 (I've yet to play 3) Call of Duty, Battlefield games (yet to play 3) and Killzone 2/3.
