Recommendations on an FPS game?

Hi, I'm really in a craving playing an FPS now. I only have a PS3 and a "low specs" laptop. I'm almost done beating Fallout3 and I poured in about 62 hours into that game. I played that game so much that I want to take a break from it and play a normal FPS rather than a Western RPG. I'd like one with a good campaign. Online play is nice too, but thats secondary. 

Does anyone have any recommendations? It could be on PS3 or PC. But just remember, I have a low specs laptop.

Here is a list of FPS games that I already beat:
Resistancce Fall of Man
Resistance 2
Resistance 3
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Modern Warfare 2
KillZone 2
CoD: Black Ops
Modern Warfare 1
Borderlands
Crysis2
ModernWarfare 3
KillZone3
I have Borderlands 2 but I just don't feel like playing it because it reminds me of FO3, it'll leave a stale taste in my mouth. I want to play it only when I feel like I'm in a "loot and shoot" mood again.

Some games that are in my radar, but let me know if I should get them:
KillZone HD (psn)
Call of Duty: WaW (because it's only 15 bucks)
Medal of Honor 2010 

Wait like a week and a half and get Far Cry 3. 

 

Crysis 1
Darkness 2 (online probably isn't available) It's unique and cheap
Rage


You could probably get the first 3 for less than the cost of FC3

^^^^ Who dat and when did they become a mod? lol Been off the grid far too long....


OT: If price is an issue, go with Red Dead Redemption. Countless hours of gameplay and it's only 18 bucks in most places.  


EDIT: Not a FPS I know, but still worth it. 

 

Rainbow Six Vegas {this is old and graphics didn't age well but is still really fun. It's a squad based game but very casual in the sense of giving instructions and stuff.


Mirror's Edge {love this game.

First F.E.A.R game is worth a try.

did anyone play FEAR 3? I've had it in my amazon cart countless times just never pulled the trigger. 

The Orange Box
RAGE (unless story is important to you)
Rainbow Six: Vegas
Bioshock
Call of Duty 2 + 3 (Classic on XBLA is too pricey atm)

I did, it's a lot of fun in co-op. Not sure about Single Player though, I'd imagine that really takes away from the experience.

ahhh, I know who you are now. Late congrats.


I've played FEAR 3. It's good if you can get it cheap ($20). It's not a scary as FEAR 2, but still a solid FPS with quite a few jumps. Being able to play as as Fedel after you've finished the campaign adds some re-playability too.

Thank you sir, for the F3 info and the congrats....




OT: If FC3 is on anyone's radar, review embargo must have just lifted:

If you haven't played Bioshock (1 or 2) yet, give the 1st a try. Otherwise I would play Killzone and then see if people like Far Cry 3.

This isn't an attack on OP, but it's interesting to see that a lot of people only started with FPS's with Resistance or Call of Duty 4. I think that says a lot about the current state of the FPS genre and why it's so bad lately. 

For PC:
- SystemShock2 
- Thief series (although there's less shooty going on in here) 
- NoOneLivesForever series
- FEAR (first game)
- HalfLife series
- Anything made by iD

For PS3:
- Dishonored
- Bioshock series
- Darkness series

If you get back in the mood for FPS/RPG hybrids:
- DeusEx (1 & HumanRevolution)
- Vampire:The Masquerade
- Stalker:Shadow of Chernobyl

CanadianTurtle Here is a list of FPS games that I already beat: Resistancce Fall of Man Resistance 2 Resistance 3 Battlefield Bad Company 2 Modern Warfare 2 KillZone 2...

MOH is great online MP. SP = meh (and has strange physics: ie bullets penetrating water)

Or just wait for Bioshock Infinite which has Bioshock 1 on disc of the PS3 version. If you want a FPS with a great single player, Bioshock is a must. Get Far Cry 3 too.

Everything you said points to Bioshock.

If it doesn't have to be strictly FPS look up Binary Domain, dirt cheap now but its 3rd person rather than first. Story is probably one of the best i've come across for this gen of consoles, enough to make me want to play it through 3 times.
 

 

get singularity if you like bioshock

Oh yea, Singularity and Prey are two games that often get overlooked, but have some unique elements to them.
