FPS/Action/Puzzle

Half Life: Half-Life is a science fiction first-person shooter video game developed by Valve Software and the company's debut product.
In Half-Life, players assume the role of Dr.
Gordon Freeman, a recent graduate theoretical physicist who must fight his way out of a secret underground research facility, whose research and experiments into teleportation technology have gone wrong.

My Feedback: Half Life was ground breaking for its time.
The game is greatly made, and challenges the player to think.
The graphics are what you expect from the late 1990’s, but if you are more interested in a good story line, and fun game play, it’s a must play.


Half Life 2: Half-Life 2 is a science fiction first-person shooter computer game and the sequel to the highly acclaimed Half-Life.
Half-Life 2 takes place in a dystopian world in which the events of Half-Life have fully come to bear on human society, which has been enslaved by a multidimensional empire known as the Combine.
The game takes place in and around the fictional City 17 and follows the adventures of scientist Gordon Freeman who must fight against increasingly unfavorable odds in order to survive.

My Feedback: Half Life 2 is an incredible game, and a major step forward from the first one.
With major graphical improvement, more puzzles and challenges, and more to the story line, this game is a legend in its own.
This game also has numerous mod’s available on Steam, some of which are very entertaining.


Portal: Portal is a single-player first-person action/puzzle video game developed by Valve Corporation.
In Portal, the player controls the protagonist, Chell, from a first person perspective as she is challenged to navigate through a series of rooms using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device ("portal gun" or "ASHPD").
The portal gun can create two distinct portal ends, orange and blue.
The portals create a visual and physical connection between two different locations in three-dimensional space.


My Feedback: Portal really set the bar high in this FPS/Puzzle game.
The name of the game is to get to the exit in the room using the portals.
But beware, some rooms are more challenging than others...


Counter-Strke: Source: Counter-Strike: Source (abbreviated CS:S) is a first-person shooter video game developed by the Valve Corporation.
Counter-Strike: Source is a remake of Counter-Strike, and consequently retains its team-based objective-oriented first-person shooter style gameplay.
The aim of playing a map is to accomplish a map's objective.
There are many types of objectives that a map can have, but the ultimate goal of the game is to win more rounds than the opposing team, which is accomplished by fulfilling the map's winning conditions.

My Feedback: If you have never played CS:S, where have you been?? This game is legendary, and is still one of the most popular FPS’s on the market.
There is a lot to like in a game like this.


F.E.A.R.: F.E.A.R.
First Encounter Assault Recon is a horror-themed first-person shooter developed by Monolith Productions and published by Vivendi.
The game's story revolves around a supernatural phenomenon, which F.E.A.R.—a fictional special forces team—is called to contain.
The player assumes the role of F.E.A.R.'s Point Man, who possesses superhuman reflexes, and must uncover the secrets of a paranormal menace in the form of a little girl.

My Feedback: This game is a lot of fun, and a lot of scary all packed into one.
It’s has a great story line, good graphics, and people do still play the multiplayer.


Far Cry and Far Cry 2: Ubisoft has marketed Far Cry 2 as the true sequel to Far Cry, though the sequel has very few noticeable similarities to the original game.
Instead, it features completely new characters and setting, as well as a new style of gameplay that allows the player greater freedom to explore different African landscapes such as deserts, jungles, and savannas.
The game takes place in a modern-day East African nation in a state of anarchy and civil war.
The player takes control of a mercenary on a lengthy journey to locate and assassinate "The Jackal," a notorious arms dealer.

My Feedback: Farcry and Farcry 2 are both very good games.
Far Cry 2 added more gameplay and features that the first one lacked, but to get the full effect, I recommend playing the first before the second.
Both are good games.


Unreal Tournament 3: Unreal Tournament 3 (UT3) is a first-person shooter and online multiplayer video game by Epic Games and is the latest installment of the Unreal series after Unreal Tournament 2004.
Similar to the previous entries of the series, the game is primarily an online multiplayer title offering several game modes, including large-scale Warfare, Capture-the-Flag, and Deathmatch.
It also includes an extensive offline single-player game with an in-depth story, advancing from the simple tournament ladder to such concepts as team members with their own individual personalities.

My Feedback: You want a fast pace FPS? You want crazy weapons and vehicles? Then this is the game for you.
UT3 is the latest of the Unreal games, and is fast paced action, and a whole lot of awesomeness rolled into one.


Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Gameplay in Bad Company 2 resembles that of the original and is set in various environments from South America and the mountainous regions along the borders of Russia.
Bad Company 2 features 15 vehicles, including new additions, such as the UH-60 Black Hawk, a quad bike, a two-man patrol boat, a personal watercraft, a ZU-23 mounted on a BTR-D armored personnel carrier, and a UAV helicopter controlled via remote computer terminals.

My Feedback: BFBC2 is a great game to play is you like FPS’s with a slower pace, tactical game play, and being team oriented.
It has a wide array of vehicles and weapons, so there is something for everybody.


Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter video game, developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision.
The story takes place in a fictional near-future, where a radical leader has staged a execution order in the Middle East, and an "Ultranationalist" movement has instigated a civil war in Russia.
The events of the conflicts are seen from the perspectives of an American Marine and a British SAS commando, and are set in multiple locations, including the Middle East, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Prypiat, Ukraine.
The multiplayer portion of the game features various game modes, and contains a leveling system that allows the player to unlock additional weapons, weapon attachments, and camouflage schemes as they advance.

My Feedback: Call of Duty is an amazing game.
With a score of 94% from GameRankings, this game is hard to not like.
The campaign was amazing, with good dialog, and the multiplayer is one of the best.
It has an upgrade system in which unlocks more weapons/perks when you level up.


Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 2: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2[9] (also referred to as simply Modern Warfare 2[10] or Call of Duty 6) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision.
Similar to previous installments within the Call of Duty series, the player assumes the role of various characters during the single-player campaign, changing perspectives throughout the progression of the story, playing as "Soap", Roach, etc.
Each mission features a series of objectives that are displayed on the HUD, which marks the direction and distance towards and from such objectives.
Tasks vary in their requirements, having the player arrive at a particular checkpoint, eliminate enemies in a specified location, stand his/her ground to defend an objective, or plant explosive charges on an enemy installation.

My Feedback: Ok, this game has a lot of controversy, and in my opinion, it’s a game you love to hate.
With 4.7 Millions copies sold within 24 hours, it’s hard to say this game isn’t great.
It has major improvement from the first, with more unlockable weapons/perks/kill streaks, and custom titles/emblems.
This game has a lot to offer, and has the staying power to last a very long time.
