LOTD (Land of the dead) your zombie fps, kill zombies with all sorts of weapons. I hate it when great games get no recognition at all :tsk:

Red Faction 2
Unreal 2

Does the Thief series count? I only played a demo of the first one and am aware there isn't a terrible amount of shooting taking place, but it is first person(at least the first and second are) and story driven.

I think I've told you on IRC before Drule, when you asked for realistic FPS games. But here goes...

Breakdown. All info you need is in the link. I don't remember if you have an XBox or not though...

I thought I was just about the only one who knew of Breakdown's existence, aside from... was it Marcus? That game was fantastic.

Truly fantastic. One of the best FPS games I have ever played, and it's just because I played Breakdown that other FPS games feel boring to me, even games like Bio-Shock.

You should have included a list of obvious examples that you've played or are not interested in.

This isn't really my genre, but . . .

Bioshock is one of the best games I've ever played (seriously).  Try it, seriously.

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is also pretty good; rather than being an RPG with shooter elements such as Vampire: Bloodlines, it's a shooter with RPG elements.  Stalker is poorly optimized though.  My computer is pretty good and is definitely up to par with the best PCs available when the game came out, (dual core AMD 3GB, 4 gig DDR3 RAM, Nvidia 8600 GTS OC), and I still have to turn a lot of shaders down.  I wouldn't recommend picking it up unless your rig is really good.

Otherwise, Black was somewhat competent I guess.  But I can't judge it too harshly as I don't play many FPSes, and therefore every new one is always the best FPS I had played for a long time.

HMMM Yeah With Bloodlines, my PC is easily capable of running the game but with water and smashed windows I just get a pink and white wireframe for some reason.
now is the winter of our discontent

Errr . . .

I was complaining about Stalker's performance, not Vampire.  I'll need to edit my post!

iirc Vampire was pretty glitchy no matter what too, not in reference to what card you're using because it's fairly old. I remember going to the docks and the water fucking up even though the rest worked fine.

stalker isnt that great unfortunately. the story feels really tacked on. i ended up accidentally finishing it with like half the story left uncovered.

its a cool game to play if you mod it, but yeah it isnt really very good in the story department.

since when is unreal story driven ,  just random arena fights.

also, just finished up Gears of War on Pc, and why did they the hell did they minimize  the story.... there was this great setting and gameplay but the backstory was no where to be found.
so you've come here for pointless ego boosting and happy sunshine glee? this aint deviantart man.

Bioshock and Resistance are the first two that hit me.  These are the only two FPS games that I've ever gotten really into and beaten.
Yay! Random words!
