DX:IW is worth continueing with? Just chuck a few names at me and I

If you play any FPS after HL2 you will only be setting yourself up for
disappointment my friend.

Check out Riddick, Brothers in Arms and Far Cry. All very different games
but very good. They'll keep you going until FEAR comes out in the Autumn.

DX:IW isn't worth starting let alone continuing with, I hope you have
played the original. In a similar vein is Vampire The
Masquerade:Bloodlines, slightly buggy, but good. Painkiller is good
for mindless shooting. You may like Far Cry, personally I didn't a
whole lot, but several people around here did.

Yup, but I would emphasise it's not good _as an FPS_.
As in, the FPS side of it is average, while the RPG aspect
is great.

I'll second PainKiller, I just bought Doom3 in the bargain bin and
PainKiller out-dooms Doom3.

All those games were great IMHO. All 3 are too different gameplay-wise to
be compared to each other.

I'll 2nd some of those: Far Cry; VTMB is a roleplaying game first &
foremost; Unreal 2 if you missed it 1st time round; Serious Sam: The 2nd
Encounter also if you missed it. If you're not stuck on a fps, Guild Wars is
a great mmorpg with no monthly fee that's taking most of my time right now.

More details alfi...

Painkiller

FarCry

Chronicles of Riddick - start with this one!

Battlefield2

GTA:SA (not quite FPS but the best single player experience after Deus Ex
IMO)

Brothers In Arms

Boiling Point:Road to Hell (very very buggy - "flawed genius")

Doom3 (first half is good, second half not so.)

But HL2 isn't "very good" either...

The other games Bateau claimed to be not "very good" reach 88-91% in these
rankings, so they shouldn't be much worse compared to the 96% of HL2 ;)...

GOTY awards are as significant as the Oscars or the Nobel prizes.

In other words, "my favourite game didn't get any so they are
rubbish".

At least some of them are.

You mean you haven't read "reviews" where it's apparent the person
hasn't even played the game.

The worst one I recall was for TR:AOD, with a fanboy giving it top marks
without having even SEEN it, because he was a Tomb Raider fan and just
KNEW it would be great.

Rather more like "hype and whatever other reasons don't only swing the
public but reviewers as well."
