Meta United States6225 Posts September 26 2009 21:54 GMT #22 Bioshock is definitely worth a play through if your computer can handle it. IMO Best single player shooter since HL2.

ghermination United States2851 Posts September 26 2009 22:21 GMT #23 I recommend STALKER, and fear + expansions and fear 2 + expansion. Great games. Also Crysis is quite fun and despite what some people think, at lowest settings it still looks phenomenal and can be played by most modern PC's. + Show Spoiler + http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098 2gb DDR2-800 RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121320&cm_re=9600gso-_-14-121-320-_-Product 9600GSO knock yourself out.

Frits 11782 Posts September 26 2009 22:53 GMT #25 cod4 single player is extremely good, especially on veteran and as mentioned deus ex, one of the greatest games ever made but you probably played it already

butter United States785 Posts September 27 2009 01:41 GMT #33 System Shock 2 - In a silent, dark room, with the volume up and your face unhealthily close to your CRT. (I've heard the original is OK too but it's hard to get it to even run these days.) Thief 2 - Ditto (lol, Looking Glass fanboy I guess). Sadly, I can't recommend Thief 3. Bioshock's shaders made me physically ill in the first ten minutes, so I don't know, it might be awesome?

closed Vatican City State491 Posts September 27 2009 10:01 GMT #37 Im currently working on a post about the best FPS game levels. I really recommend the game Blood, which is pretty old, but has some incredible levels/atmoshphere. The mapmakers were incredibly good, the first level is just a prelude to things to come - the train level/fun-fair levels are one of the best I have ever played. If you are more concerned about graphics COD4 is a very nice game. Also, as suggested, please note that there are some expansion packs for HL2 (I think the first expansion is called 'episode one' - but is something completely different than the game). You could also try some Half-life 1 mods - 'Sweet half life' comes to my mind (with really, really nice levels and two different "paths"), as well as 'They Hunger' which consists of 3 episodes set up in zombie-atmosphere. The last episode is simply fantastic - you visit a psychiatric hospital and some other interesting locations. Please note that episode one of They hunger is pretty "simple" in terms of effects, but still very nice to play with (the sequels are much better). In general it was so good that they are working on a game "They hunger" for HL2. Portal is a very nice game too, although it isnt a typical FPS.

CharlieMurphy United States22895 Posts September 27 2009 12:01 GMT #38 FEAR, Bioshock , and Fallout 3 are VERY overrated. FEAR i couldn't stand a few minutes of, the game just blows. Bioshock is entertaining but its unbelievably easy, the story is pretty obvious. Fallout 3 is basically single player WoW in the future with less level ups. The game is easy, you will eventually just find yourself doing endless side quests and items searches. (keep in mind I play most games on hardest mode) I'd recommend Left 4 Dead and Portal for sure. Both games are too short but really awesome. And left 4 dead is fucking hard as fuck on single player in hardest setting. (I don't think I got passed the hospital level) Part 2 is coming out in Nov. The good thing about short games though is you can speed run them and go for best times. And portal has all these crazy alternate ways to beat each level and par for each way (X amount of steps, X amount of portals, X amount of cubes, etc) but since you said your on an old comp (would help if you listed specs) I'd recommend Duke 3D and Quake if you haven't played those.
