Ive finished Half Life 2, and thought it had great physics but the story was short lived. I didn't like the original and i know thats a bigger thing to say since it recieved greatest game ever awards and stuff.
Half Life 2, had beautiful graphics but was too limited.
FEAR, the more i'm playing it, i feel it is too repetitive. I mean, sure the graphics are crazy, the physics are better than HL2 and.. it has slow motion. But once you jump into a stage, you've played them all.
Quake 4, i admit i haven't played this game yet but what ive seen so far and by reviews. It doesn't look too good. I mean they used the same engine from Doom which is a bad thing because i felt it had too much flaws. Sound effects are pretty bad too compared to FEAR which had unbelievable sfx and music.
Oblivion, now i'm still playing part 4, Morrowind. This game is bloody huge. In Morrowind there was hardly any restrictions, graphics were mind blowing for when it came out and story was second to none. Oblivion, it uses kinematics to control movements of other characters, the physics of weather and environments are even better and you can basically interact with anything. They even show a storm moving trees in the direction of the wind, now thats smart!
But Oblivion kind does fall into a different genre, its more RPG than FPS so no use comparing to the list from above. But still, i think it will take Game of Year like Morrowind did
