F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Action-packed real-time combat

An intense first-person shooter that pairs slow-motion gunfights against smart AI soldiers with unsettling supernatural horror centered on the vengeful Alma. Mech sequences and movable cover add variety to its tightly paced, linear scares.

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.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Realistic visuals

A classic WWII shooter where B.J. Blazkowicz battles Nazi occultists, undead, and super-soldier experiments across gloomy castles and labs. It also shipped with an influential class-based, objective-driven team multiplayer mode.

Crysis 2

Realistic visuals

A visually stunning sci-fi shooter set in a ravaged New York, where the Nanosuit's cloak, armor and upgrades let you choose between going loud against aliens or slipping past unseen. Its semi-open arenas reward tactical, creative approaches.

Resistance 3

Action-packed real-time combat

A grim first-person shooter set in an alien-ravaged 1950s America, where you fight to survive as Joseph Capelli. Upgradeable weapons, the weapon wheel and a co-op campaign define the experience.

F.E.A.R.

Action-packed real-time combat

A first-person shooter that pairs explosive slow-motion firefights against remarkably smart enemy AI with unsettling psychological horror built around the eerie girl Alma. Its destructible gunfights are still held up as a genre benchmark.

Doom: The Dark Ages

Lavish presentation

A heavy, grounded take on Doom where the Slayer stands his ground with a shield saw, parries and brutal melee weapons in a grim medieval sci-fi world. Rides on a cyber-dragon and battles in a giant mech add spectacle and variety.

Chasm: The Rift

Realistic visuals

A classic 90s-style first-person shooter in which you travel through time rifts and fight mutants across eras such as the medieval age and the future. Levels are varied and built around key hunting and secrets.

Resistance: Fall of Man

Action-packed real-time combat

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.
