Quake II

Dark, serious atmosphere

A landmark sci-fi shooter: a lone marine fights through the industrial hellscape of Stroggos against a cybernetic alien army. It delivers fast gunplay, interconnected hub levels, a pounding metal soundtrack, and influential deathmatch multiplayer.

Red Faction

Action-packed real-time combat

A first-person shooter set on Mars where you play a miner joining a rebellion. Its Geo-Mod tech lets you blast through walls and terrain in real time, which made for standout moments back then.

Halo 4

Lavish presentation

Master Chief is stranded on the Forerunner world Requiem, fighting the new Prometheans in a campaign that turns surprisingly personal by focusing on his bond with Cortana. It pairs striking visuals with a deep multiplayer suite that includes the Spartan Ops co-op missions.

Overload

Action-packed real-time combat

Overload is a six-degrees-of-freedom shooter that revives the Descent formula: you fly weightlessly through tight mine complexes, blasting robots and hunting for keys and secrets. Precise controls and fast, frantic combat are the core appeal.

Halo 2

Co-op or multiplayer

Bungie's landmark sci-fi shooter tells its war story from both sides, switching between Master Chief and the Arbiter, with dual-wielding, vehicle hijacking and co-op. Its pioneering Xbox Live matchmaking multiplayer made it a console online legend.

Halo 3: ODST

Lavish presentation

Instead of Master Chief, you play a fragile ODST trooper roaming a dark, occupied New Mombasa, piecing together your squad's fate through flashback missions set to a moody noir-jazz score. The cooperative Firefight mode adds wave-survival battles against the Covenant with friends.

Farpoint

Dark, serious atmosphere

A linear PlayStation VR shooter in which you get stranded on a hostile alien planet after an accident near Jupiter. Played with the Aim Controller, fighting off giant insectoid creatures feels especially immediate.

Halo: Reach

Dark, serious atmosphere

A tragic last stand on the planet Reach: as part of the Spartan squad Noble Team, you fight a hopeless war against the Covenant in a gripping, somber campaign. Co-op, Firefight, Forge and legendary competitive multiplayer round it out.
