It DID make things easier but less scary. Booooooo.

Resurrection of Evil was good but less scary. Double-barreled shotgun rocked though. BOOM.

I still love these games to death.

a few that come to mind

HL2 and episode 1
FEAR and the expansion pack
doom 3 and resurection of evil
return to castle wolfenstein
C&C tiberium wars, red alert 2
no one lives forever 1 and 2
soldier of fortune 1 and 2
max payne 1 and 2
Giants: citizen kabuto
unreal tournament 2004
splinter cell- chaos theory
GTA vice city and san andreas

It's a good thing I read this post cause I was about to suggest Fallout 1 and 2. (btw, you see Fallout 3??? OMFG *cums* )

Since you got Fallout out of the way though, another game you absolutely MUST play is Half-Life, if by some dumb luck you haven't played it.

That's another one of my favs....Jedi Temple with Tattoine theme for the win. Jedi Academy has great action but playing a no name is kinda whack. Kyle Katarn >*

Spectacular games! Soooo much going on story-wise; absolutely amazingly written and humourous/ultra-violent; also sets a very grim tone for the future of humans and their effects on the environment due to war and technology.

Posted by SuspicionVandit on Aug-04-2007 17:54:

steampowered.com just added the entire ID Games catalog. $4-10$ for the classic games (Doom1,2, Quake 1-2) as well as Quake 3, all of which are STILL extremely active on multiplayer

there's also Starcraft, Command/Conquer Red Alert1/2. Also, free korean games (gunbound, maple story) which are pretty much RPGs
maybe you also want to try this:

which is a full (and free) RPG from some guy at the SomethingAwful forums.

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood Of Steel

Best game ever, imo.

As for other suggestions:

Unreal Tournament - My favorite FPS along with CS (which I haven't played in years).
Silent Hill series - Best horror game series out there.
Deus Ex - Great FPS with some RPG elements and extraordinary story.
Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed - My favorite NFS, unfortunately I can't run it on XP.
Fallout series - Like I said, Tactics is my favorite game overall, 1 & 2 being close to the top.
Kingpin: Life Of Crime - Very good gangsta/thug/crime themed FPS.

Yes, it's a lot better. Single player is fun only for the first time, then you advance to battle.net and there's no going back. Okay, there is, but it's still addictive as hell. At least it used to be back in the time of 1.09 and start of 1.10, I don't know how it is now.

Some good lists there.

Someone already mentioned it, but def. check out FarCry. It came out a year before HL2 and Doom 3, but it definately started the next-gen back then. Some of the most amazing action you will find in a game.

Crysis (soon to be released, from same devs) is going to take games to the next level again.

I want another Max Payne game!

I still play StarCraft more than anything.

Posted by Inertia on Aug-04-2007 19:28:

im still going through BroodWar for the first time. currently on the final (Zerg) campaign, and it's being a bitch to bring Duran to the fucking 5 spots. i'm running low on resources, and the fucking reavers keep coming!

edit: had forgotten about Max Payne. played it a couple times and loved it, will get that too.

Posted by Sunsnail on Aug-04-2007 19:32:

Half-Life 1/2
Homeworld (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Black & White

Those are among my top favorite of all-time.

Far Cry- an older game, but still great (Crysis is going to be incredible).
Company of Heroes- best RTS game, period.
FEAR and extraction expansion.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Splinter Cell- Chaos Theory- esp with Shader Model 3 shaders
Half Life II
Doom III

just off the top of my head.
