Building the perfect shooter list

[nycgamer]

My list of shooting games is fast becoming formidable. This is definitely my favorite genre now and I’m now completely obsessed with owning all of the best shooters out there. There are a few that I am considering:

1. Dead To Rights (http://www.deadtorights.com/) ~ this is going to be re-released for about 20 bucks as a “classic” of shooters and is said to be similar to Max Payne. They’re also porting it to PC now, so I think I may hold out for that rather than the Xbox version.
2. Half-Life (http://half-life.sierra.com/) ~ I'm already excited about HL2 just from reading about it.. But I never played the original on console or PC.
3. No One Lives Forever 2 (http://nolf2.sierra.com/) ~ this is only for PC right now. I wasn’t that impressed by the first NOLF on PS2, but I’m thinking that the PC sequel will have much better graphics.

So those are the three I’m looking at right now. Also, I have listed below all the shooters I already own.

I have:

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Resident Evil Code Veronica X
Unreal Tournament
GTA III/Vice City
Enter The Matrix
TimeSplitters 2
Metroid Prime

I've played most of those games, and they are high quality.

My top three games are:

1. Medal of Honor Frontline (I'm getting it, and its next incarnation: Rising Sun)
2. Devil May Cry Series (DMC2 isn't worth it at 50 bucks, buy the original, which is a greatest hit game.)
3. Metroid Prime

I'd include the Mega Man Series, but it's not in the calibur of the games you listed, yet. I mean, yes, its a great series, everyone knows that, but still not up there.

The original NOLF is a great game, it just got a raw deal with the PS2 port. Get both PC games if you can, as most NOLF fans prefer the first. Much better humor and story. ASIHW just lost the whole NOLF vibe, in spite of being a technically superior game. JT was very good as Cate, though.

[Blaksmoke]

GoldenEye is better than all of the above, but it's old, so I don't know if it counts.

[TheGreenElf]

I'm lazy so I'll just list my top 3 shooters ever.
1. Goldeneye
2. Rogue Spear
3. TimeSplitters 2

it's not really a shooting game..but you get to shoot in it...

Eternal Darkness for GC is one of my fav games

[nycgamer]

Well, I picked up NOLF2 and Call Of Duty. COD rocks hard. It makes MOH look like a joke by comparison. (I still like MOH, but seriously it doesn't compare). Next I'm getting Dead To Rights for PC. They've made several improvements to it;

Selectable skill levels provides a uniquely tuned gaming experience for everyone from the first-time action player to the seasoned gaming veteran

Enhanced Human Shield mode allows for tighter control and faster movement, while added shield victim durability to increases effectiveness

Improved Camera System Invert camera option allows the player to customize the camera controls

Enhanced fighting system is faster and more furious, featuring additional attack combos for Jack and unique enemy attacks

Quick Holster feature allows the player to shoot and disarm enemies in stride without stopping the action

Enhanced Auto-Targeting system is smarter, choosing the most appropriate threat

Quick Attack feature gives the player instant access to Shadows devastating attacks

Enhanced toss-n-shoot to allow the player to switch targets while a canister is in flight

New Cheats, tons of cheats and special modes have been made accessible for the first time

Easier Disarms increase access to unlocking DTR's over-the-top disarms sequences

Mini games easier and less repetitive

What exactly defines a shooter? MGSII is no shooter. It's so much more. Can TrueCrime be called a shooter? When I think shooter, I think first person...so...

Halo.
Halo.
And that one game... I can't think of it off the top of my head...oh yeah, Halo.

Best shoota.
