Aliens vs. Predator

Sci-fi setting

A first-person shooter with three separate campaigns as Marine, Predator and Alien, each playing very differently, from tense horror to stalking hunts and ambush kills. It also offers asymmetric three-faction multiplayer.

Resistance 2

Sci-fi setting

A console first-person shooter set in an alternate 1950s, where humanity fights the Chimera invasion across the United States. Besides the campaign, it offers an eight-player class-based co-op mode and large-scale online multiplayer.

Killzone

Sci-fi setting

A grim sci-fi first-person shooter set in the war between the Helghast and the ISA, letting you switch between four heroes with different strengths. It also offered 16-player online multiplayer, though the servers are now shut down.

Resistance: Fall of Man

Sci-fi setting

A grim first-person shooter set in an alternate 1951 where you play Sgt. Nathan Hale fighting an alien invasion across ravaged Britain. It stands out for blending a World War II look with sci-fi and for its inventive arsenal.

TimeShift

Sci-fi setting

A first-person shooter where you can freeze, slow down or rewind time to outwit enemies and solve small puzzles. It unfolds in a grim alternate reality ruled by a dictator.

Killzone 3

Lavish presentation

A linear sci-fi first-person shooter on PlayStation with hard-hitting firefights against the Helghast, jetpacks, turrets and vehicle sections. Its grim war atmosphere and multiplayer modes define the experience.

Area 51

Sci-fi setting

A linear first-person shooter where you play HAZMAT soldier Ethan Cole investigating a viral outbreak inside the secret Area 51 facility. Mutants, aliens and a conspiracy create a dark sci-fi horror mood.

Doom 3

Lavish presentation

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.
