@ Kratos: Portal is more of a puzzle game than an FPS, I think.

@ ArtOfAngels: As much as I hate to admit it, having spent countless hours of my youth playing it, Goldeneye really hasn't aged well. The framerate is awful, the lack of a second analog stick hurts the controls, and the muddy, blocky visuals are almost painful to look at. There's a great many better shooters out there nowadays.

@ ssj12: I know you're biased against console games, so the fact that you bolded every console-exclusive FPS on that list isn't exactly unexpected. Also, SS2 and Bioshock are sufficiently removed from each-other (the latter is just the spiritual sequel to the former, and not a direct sequel) that I see no issue with listing both. Finally, Wolf3D, like Goldeneye, hasn't aged well at all; it's basically an FPS in its most basic form, which really isn't anything to write home about nowadays.

 So the first FPS ever made hasnt aged well... the mod community says different. As for GoldenEye, the best console FPS ever made, has aged just liike Perfect Dark.

I think Half-life 1/2 are extremely overrated, they wouldn't be on my top 10 list.

but anyway, this is one guys list not yours, i don't see why people bash it because they don't agree with it. OF COURSE you won't agree with any top 10 list, because it's not your list it's someone else's.

WTF? Doom 3 makes the list, Half-Life and Doom 2 don't, and GoldenEye gets number one?

I often wonder what those Screw Attack boys are smoking when they compile these lists.

I generally leave Doom off of my list. Once you even consider Wolfenstein 3D, then Doom is just an upgrade with a BFG. It does have the BFG though so I guess that should get it added somewhere.

I give that post a 9.6.

Everything is better with the BFG.

I don't mind them leaving off Doom 2 but adding Doom 3 and leaving off Half-Life is just criminal.

That one thing alone should keep it out of the #1 spot.

 IF they put Haf-Life as the entire franchise it would be better. alf-Life 2 without the episodes or Half-Life doesnt make sense. You lose so much great story.

True. They could have just listed the entire Half-Life family of games.

 That still does not mean it doesn't deserve a place in the top 10, but i agree #1 is a bit to high. maybe #5?

It definitely should hit the Top 10 but putting a game like that in the #1 spot shows extreme console bias.

Just for a frame of reference, Half-Life came out just a year after Goldeneye. Look at those two games together and you get a proper understaning of just how far behind console FPS games are (doubly so if you factor in the terrible N64 control system).
