Post Fps

Need my twice annual FPS fix. Looking for something not too expensive. Have played the Call Of Duty 2, 3, 4, Bioshock, Halo and Orange Box. Any good hidden gem FPS out their preferably not at RRP.
Thanks.

Thumbs up Re: Fps

In the process of getting Far Cry 2, enjoyed the left for dead demo but not massive on the xbox live multiplayer thing.
Was looking at getting an older/less expensive title in the mean time.

Re: Fps

For an older title that's reduced, notably at Amazon, you could try my fave game of the year, Battlefield : Bad Company. It has endless multiplayer appeal, at least until the next Battlefield comes along.

Similarly, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, R6Vegas 2 and Unreal Tournament III are cheaper at many e-tailers now.

Far Cry 2 (Steelbook edition) is cheap at Play.

Re: Fps

Try and Pick up PREY & F.E.A.R
You should be able to pick them both up for under a tenner pre-owned and both very good games with good stories and very good FPS.
Prey you should be able to get for under a fiver, FEAR under a tenner

Re: Fps

How about:
Gears Of War 1/2
GRAW 1/2
Rainbow Six: Vegas 1/2
Battlefield: Bad Company

GRAW and Gears of War aren't really FPS games but they are really good.

Played the Demo of Turning point and was truely Staggered..... How can they make a Game that bad for a console this good!

It looks and plays like a PS2 game but without the imagination!

just my opinion!

Re: Fps

The Darkness and Prey should be very cheap, and a nice twist on FPS.
