Well I loaded MGS3 up and... err... Well, this always happens with MGS games. I load them up, sit through an hour of (interesting but too lengthy) story, get plunged into the game and. Well, I flap around like a fish out of water. It's been an age since I played on the PS2, so I've forgotten all the controls and on top of that, i'm being bombarded by new features and moves. In other words, I'm completely confused about what the hell i'm doing as usual. I may shelve it until after my exams are over out of sheer bafflement :P

My PC's to old to play Half Life 2, Killzone is awesome and the PS3 sequel looks amazing. First person shoots are the best.

"Good FPS" and "PS2" don't sit together as well as they could/should... The original Half-Life is on there... but it's ancient and frankly, if you have a PC less than 6/7 years old, you can play the original PC version anyway. Same goes for Deus Ex and Unreal Tournament(PC is much better - console FPS games are severly handicapped by the fact that you play them with a gamepad. No amount of autoaim can replace the Mouse/Keyboard combo).

The Timesplitters games are good fun though. The Red Faction games are so-so and Killzone has recieved a critical drumming. Killzone sequel (PS3) looks wonderful, but if those graphics are actually achievable at that Frame Rate, I will eat my own hat. Well, i'll buy a hat and then eat it. That's pretty much it for FPS games on PS2. PC is far and away the home of FPS, and X-Box the next best thing.

Best FPS IMO: Half-Life 2. Hands Down.

And people who like Halo live in symetrical houses.

Not playing anything atm cos of exams :cry: but have got Pariah and some game called Boiling Point waiting to be played when I'm done. Last thing I played through was Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, pretty good.

Half Life 2 still owns everything that's been released on the PC since though.

Same, but unfortunately I can't play anything recent anyway with my old PC. Fortunately I have a decent sized stockpile of older games set aside for just such an occasion, and I look forward to working my way through at least some of the following:

- Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri & Alien Crossfire
- Abe's Odyssey & Abe's Exodus
- Baldur's Gate 1&2 (Plus expansions)
- Starlancer
- Tachyon: The Fringe (voiced by BRUCE CAMBPELL, no less. :mrgreen: )

And some other that I can't remember, and other still that I only managed to partly get through.

I'm a fan of space combat games among other things, which few actually make anymore. If you are as well, then you have to try Freespace 1&2. Simply brilliant.

By all means do... however, be aware that:

1) Half-Life 2 has high system requirements. Actually, it's playable on more older systems than most new games, but part of the whole appeal of HL2 is how awesome it looks, so you really need a good PC.

2) Steam. I can imagine this to be the single most off putting aspect of playing Half-Life 2 there can possibly be. Steam is required for install and you have to use it to play Half-Life 2. Steam requires an internet connection, and unless you want to spend 14 years waiting for Half-Life 2 to update, you need broadband. What's more, Half-Life 2 CD-Key's are tied to your Steam account. No selling the game on (though most will testify that you won't want to because the game is good).

3) There is no training mission. The basics of the game - shooting and movement - aren't ever explained. If you're seriously playing FPS games for the first time, HL2 may be a dive straight into the deep end, though the new things it brings to the FPS genre are given adequate explanation.

4) HL2 is a direct sequel to HL1. Hence if you haven't played the original, some stuff will be lost on you (immediate question: "who the hell is this suited guy jabbering to me?". Though TBH, anyone who has played all the HL games still can't answer it ^^). Regardless, Half-Life 1 is a great game in it's own right (As is Opposing Force, the expansion pack) the trouble is, it may not be interesting purely because it is so long in the tooth...

5) Demo! Try before you buy! http://www.half-life.com/ To be honest, the demo is a bit dull... it shows you a short but interesting sequence from right at the beginning of the game and then transplants you to Ravenholm. Some people see this as their favorite area, I personally thought it was the least interesting.

If you like what you see, Amazon.co.uk have the game for less than £13 at the moment...
