Top 25 First-Person Shooters of All Time

25. Powerslave (Lobotomy Software)

One of the slickest first-person shooters of its time, Powerslave lets you battle evil Egyptian forces by not only using traditional handguns, but special powers such as the Ring of Ra (which shoots red fireballs) and the Sacred Manacle (which hurls bolts of lighting at your opponents). You can also improve your jumping, swimming skills and levitation skills. Sadly, it looks like we'll never get a sequel to this one.

    Btw, if you're in a first person view, and are also shooting things (or a game that can consist of at least 50% of such gameplay) it deserves to be a part of the FPS genre whether it can also fit into another genre or not (they can have multiple genres listed). There are sub-genres to FPS but it should still count as FPS nonetheless. TPS is questionable as it acts somewhat like a FPS but has other features to it like hugging walls for cover, etc.

    Minus an absent Tribes series (the newest, Vengeance, could have been better), I think it is a pretty good line up.

    Dragoncats, are you mentally handicapped in grammar or English? I was making an analogy about Resident Evil to further prove my point. I am a noob? Well if that's true then you must be an unborn fetus that is dying from lack of oxygen. You are the worst, most untrue gamer I have ever seen. FPS is a "catch all" genre? No... Ok here's another analogy. Say a lot of people found Forrest Gump to be funny. Does that make it a comedy? No, it stays a drama and will always stay in a singular genre. GTFO the internet and learn to play nice. I am only being derogatory towards you because you were to me. You couldn't understand our language in the simplest terms, easy as that.

    A. I'm rather certain by "First-Person Shooter", they mean a shooting game played in the first-person view. Chill out about that. B. AGAIN ABOUT SEQUELS.... They are listing ENTIRE SERIES. READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ. Instead of just looking at pictures and quickly scrolling away. Yes, they used ****** pictures. Get use to THAT, GD has HORRIBLE picture choices. C. Dragon, Nots0nice NEVER said RE was a FPS game. Again. READ. D. Oh dear GAWD! We can't call it a FPS if it has another genre it falls under! Dear GOD NOOO! Half Life is an adventure game, also, but does that mean it isn't a FPS? WHYYYY must everyone repeat themselves? Retards repeating, "LULZ NOT FPS GAME CUZ IT ADVENTURE GAME!", "LOLOLOLOL NOT FPS CUZ U DUNT CONTROL MOVEMENT!!!!", "OMGOMGOMGOMG HALO IS BEST WHY NOT NO. 1!?!?!?", "Y DIS GAME DAT NOT FPS NOT IN LIST!!?!?? I CANT READ!!!!" And for the record, COUNTER STRIKE does NOT deserve to be above Half Life. EVER.
