You Won't Believe This~

One of the best FPS's I have played is the first Farcry then Bioshock.

The first Sniper Elite is pretty cool also.

One of the worst I've played/bought is 'Rainbow Six - Rogue Spear'. You play as a hostage rescue/Delta-style member of a unit and shoot terrorists...the catch is, they use hostages as shields and if you kill a hostage, the level aborts & starts over...

I believe in the Keanu Rule...

One of the best values is the 'Half-Life Platinum Collection', which is 5 CDs of which 3 are separate FPS's taking place in a top-secret gov't facility...It's three different games, in the same environment, but as three different characters [scientist; security guard; soldier] with different agendas. Takes some skill, so there's a 'training facility' before you actually enter the game.

Back when I was working full-time, I had barely enough time to check out the various games to see how they played with different hardware (that's the Beta testing); I had no time to get into & enjoy the game itself...These game designers put an amazing amount of detail into the games, along with in-jokes, running gags, and Easter eggs...Now I can finally spend hours/days/weeks playing and enjoying the games...
