Ive finished Half Life 2, and thought it had great physics but the story was short lived. I didn't like the original and i know thats a bigger thing to say since it recieved greatest game ever awards and stuff.
Half Life 2, had beautiful graphics but was too limited.
FEAR, the more i'm playing it, i feel it is too repetitive. I mean, sure the graphics are crazy, the physics are better than HL2 and.. it has slow motion. But once you jump into a stage, you've played them all.
Quake 4, i admit i haven't played this game yet but what ive seen so far and by reviews. It doesn't look too good. I mean they used the same engine from Doom which is a bad thing because i felt it had too much flaws. Sound effects are pretty bad too compared to FEAR which had unbelievable sfx and music.
Oblivion, now i'm still playing part 4, Morrowind. This game is bloody huge. In Morrowind there was hardly any restrictions, graphics were mind blowing for when it came out and story was second to none. Oblivion, it uses kinematics to control movements of other characters, the physics of weather and environments are even better and you can basically interact with anything. They even show a storm moving trees in the direction of the wind, now thats smart!
But Oblivion kind does fall into a different genre, its more RPG than FPS so no use comparing to the list from above. But still, i think it will take Game of Year like Morrowind did :D |

this is where your thinking begins to derail. id like you to point out some of the flaws in doom's engine. having (in your opinion) lesser sound effects is not a flaw of an engine btw. doom still has the best engine there is. stable, can be run on older machines, engine holds together well. fear looked like a slightly updated raven shield engine by comparison.
im hanging out for quake wars: enemy territory though! now that looks like it could be a lot of fun.
could you convince me to re-install morrowind psygnosis? tell me whats so good about it and i may give it a second chance :) |

Not to diss you FPS fanboyz =). But the new GTA style game "True Crime: NY City" is worth a look. You play as a cop in this one, and it's damn good..
//back to FPS. (grr!) |

| Not like you die hard's. Although Call of Duty 1 and VietCong wet my noodle.. I think Call of Duty 2 looks too damn impressive to pass up. |
