Killzone is the only one I can recommend, because everyone else has recommended good stuff.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Not a fan of Borderlands?

I love Borderlands! But I've always found difficulty adding games like Deus Ex, Fallout, and Borderlands to the FPS bucket.

What do you guys think? FPS or RPG, or both?

I have no trouble at all putting games in multiple categories.  I think that if it fits the criteria of both then it belongs in both.  I suppose the fact that you can play these games without firing a shot makes people want to exclude them but you can also play them as straight-up shooters.  Deus Ex might be the most understandable omission, I guess, as most people probably play it as a stealth game first and foremost.  

Personally, I'd rather the genre was defined as First Person Combat.

Playing Resistance 2 now. So good! 

I might say that Resistance > Killzone when it comes to PS3 shooters. Although I love the bots in Killzone. Every shooter should have bots. That should be a law :P

You know what is interesting is FPS gets hammered a lot for being saturated and there are a lot of them nowadays but this thread really highlights the genre and brings back some good memories while pointing out some I missed out on.

Kudos

They may not be pure FPS games, but neither are a lot of the games listed here, so I'll give a a shoutout to the Metroid Prime trilogy.

I think I'm in the minority here saying this, but I enjoyed Resistance 2 the most. The campaign was a lot more fun and had some epic boss fights and set pieces. The co-op experience was really good too, like a trimmed down version of a strike / raid on destiny.

Killzone to me is still one of the best games for MP IMO. The ability to change the way you play with turrets, drones, spawn points etc creates some of the best fire fights.
