4.1.10 Recommended FPS games
[FPS many genres, Assorted gaming developers, since 1994]
PROS: No autoaim.
CONS: Limited 90-degree vision. Lack of the exploration type
moves. Often just run the mazes and shoot everything
gameplay.
It'd be hard to say that you haven't at least played one, even
it was just one of the basic early run'n'shoot games. The
advantage FPSes have over 3rdPP is the freedom of aim really;
beyond that they tend to lack the involvement that TR gives in
seeing your character actually perform the moves (rectangular
screen jumps up and down, rectangular screen runs climbs ladder,
etc). The more recent ones have been adding plot and humour
(since Duke Nukem) and successfully mixing the genres with much
RPG input and strategy/enemy AI improvements. It's not as if you
don't get to see your characters anymore either -- both NOLF and
Deus Ex feature many cutscenes in 3rdPP. Recommended FPS games
(all PC unless stated): Half-Life (even if just for its
multitude of 3rd party mods), System Shock 2, Deus Ex, No One
Lives Forever, Marathon (Mac), Operation Flashpoint.
