    Goldeneye as number one? That's a joke. I know everyone loved it when it was out but I'm *bleep*ing sorry, it has not stood the test of time and a list of the best FPS' of all time should be ones that have stayed the best. Also, Halo as number 2? Absolutely not. Halo 3 is the best Halo to date, no question about it. It is better than the other Halo's by leaps and bounds. This is a highly flawed list. Terrible really.

      Well actually, Halo sucked balls. Halo 2 was the best in the series.

      You guys know shit about Halo. Halo 1 at its time of release was leaps and bound better and did things no other FPS did so far. Same as Half Life 2. Hell HL2 should be number 1.

      Sorry but Halo 2 or 3 wasn't anywhere near the greatness of Halo 1.

        Although I'm not a fan of Halo, I must say, Halo 2 was the best of the trilogy. And HL > HL2 by a margin, imo.

    Ah, Goldeneye ... I spent many a day (*cough*weeks*cough*) having fun with that multiplayer mode.

    *bleep* goldeneye

    trying to play a fps without 2 joysticks, or a mouse+keyboard simply doesn't work. especially with that idiotic n64 controller.

    Goldeneye is weak now. Amazing for it's time, but it has not stood the test of time like other FPS games. I still play the first (and best) Halo on PC - awesome game.

    No Metroid Prime?That is a piece of crap.

    Metroid is actually considered a First Person Adventure game. But yeah, Golden Eye? I love the game, but it shouldn't be at number one.
  • -1 thumbs!
    Nath | June 14, 2008
    Yeah, Goldeneye was good as an N64 game, just as Halo is good for an Xbox game.

    Doom 3?

    And there's no Deus Ex, which is just as much an FPS as Bioshock is.

    Also, as much as I love Wolfenstein 3D, it's obviously inferior to most modern products.

    Half Life 2 at number 8?

    Silly sods.

    I agree with this for the most part. I haven't played Goldeneye since I was really young, so I doubt I could understand how revolutionary it was.

    Well from an old school gamer's perspective - and mind you I haven't played all the titles, I feel that Half Life 1 was a superior overall experience than HL2, just because it was so innovative.

    I also feel that leaving out Unreal 1 is a huge mistake, it pretty much pioneered several aspects of FPS including complicated scripted events triggered by players, an excellent player co-op capability, HUGE outdoor areas with a sky that looks literally like a sky with parallax on clouds, and hugely variant levels.

    Quake 1 is a definite win but Doom3? Doom 1 and Doom 2 were more innovative for their time.

    (I'm taking this from the single player perspective. For multiplayer I'd have to vote for Quake 2, Q3A, and CounterStrike).

      Especially considering Doom 3 was a "reimagining" of Doom 1..

      Perfect Dark, Turok 2, Bioshock, Doom and Half Life would make up my top 5 I think (in no order, though PD and Bioshock would be tied for first)..top ten would be filled by Quake, Doom 3, and..not sure what else.

    Armed Rebel | June 14, 2008
    Needs Perfect Dark, Half Life 1.

    I'd put Perfect Dark at #1 (I had so much fun with that game), Goldeneye at #2, then Half Life, then Counterstrike then Half Life 2. Whatever after that.

    black doom | June 14, 2008
    I haven't checked the list yet but I say Doom and Goldeneye. Now to check.

    Cool, wish I had gone with my gut and guessed Halo as well.

    LOL people, what you need is a top 50, cuz all those games you want streched in a top10 don't simply fit in there.

    SvR2008 | June 14, 2008
    The list sounds about right, Resistance should be their though
    • -1 thumbs!
      Lost_Cause | June 14, 2008
      Resistance is better than any of those 10, as well as others not listed (such as Half Life 1)?

      Yeah... no.

      Donnelly | June 15, 2008
      LOLOLOL

      Resistance amongst the top 10 FPS's of all time?

      Wtf have you been smoking?

    Seeker X | June 14, 2008
    So Goldeneye's there but not its successor Perfect Dark which bested Goldeneye in EVERYTHING?

    Aussie Legend | June 15, 2008
    The original Perfect Dark also deserved a spot on there some, it was a game ahead of its time.

      I've still yet to see anything recreate its excellence. Most haven't even come close, including PD Zero. Just my opinion of course..but yeah, I have a deep-seeded passion for PD.

    Resistance? I know that it was underrated but still, you can't say it was one of the best. And Goldeneye is not #1. Number 10 at best.

    Goldeneye.
    xDD
    It was good, but not #1 good.

    I thought this was about the best, not the most innovative FPS games ever.

    Ah... Counter Strike. Brings back memories. Defintely deserved a mention.

    I would much rather play Golden Eye than any newer FPS games with the exception of Call of Duty.

    Good news Goldeneye fans: Goldeneye lives on.
    Download the Goldeneye: Source mod for the PC to relive the game in a multiplayer PC remake! All it needs is a few more players so get onto it!

    It seems like Goldeneye has gotten old. I would think that Bioshock wouldn't be 10.
  • -1 thumbs!
    Rinkydink | June 15, 2008
    Ah Goldeneye, what a legendary game that is. I feel that Perfect Dark should be on there since I liked that better than Goldeneye overall, but being there at that moment when Goldeneye first came to the N64 was just fantastic.
  • -1 thumbs!
    Storm | June 15, 2008
    Goldeneye for #1, eh? I can't complain. They should have just added '(Series)' to some of these titles. CoD and CoD2 were kick-ass, yet only CoD4 is listed. Half-Life is amazing, yet only Half-Life 2 is listed...and...the first Doom is my favorite of the 'trilogy,' not listed.

    Still, decent list, brings back memories.

    How can you say Resistance shouldn't be their! It definitely should be in the top 10.
    • 0 thumbs!
      Donnelly | June 16, 2008
      Resistance was alright, but nowhere near as good as any of the games mentioned there.

      Is it as good as Half Life? Is it as good as Call of Duty 2? Is it as good as Perfect Dark? Is it as good as Bioshock (the game that would be knocked off the list)?

      No. No it isn't.

    pwned227 | June 21, 2008
    I would have put HL2 lower on the list like around number 3.
    • 0 thumbs!
      Donnelly | June 21, 2008
      I would've put it at number 1 if I could.

      In fact, I would put it higher if I could.
