The Best (and worst) FPS Games of 2008

Gameplayer has handed out their award for the best FPS games of the year, and their worst.

[MK_Red]

WTF!? Horrible choise. Seriously, a cliched WW2 shooter won instead of a real innovative and fun game like Left 4 Dead. That's just wrong. L4D RULES.

[SlappingOysters]

but Left 4 Dead is half a game. I know it has got good replay value, but it still is effectively just a glorified mod.

Games like Left 4 Dead used to be free (counter-strike, Day of Defeat, etc.)With that in mind I think Valve dogged us a bit: look at all the value in the Orange Box for teh same price.

Still it must be a close call. Co-op CoD has been my dream for a long time and I cannot believe Treyarch got there before IW

[DreamcastFanboy]

Well it's not a game it's a mod.

[OOG]

Yeah id put Far Cry above COD WAW as well....its basically just mod of CoD 4 but without the good maps etc.... lol

[johover112]

L4D is okay but short....that sucks, Far Cry 2 deserves to be on this list, and Call of duty 4 should of won and not World At War....the online glitches on World at war takes the fun away

Haze sucked big time, i thought it was a multi-platform game? huh, what do you know

[candystop]

If you were to simply play L4D on expert with 4 friends I assure you that it will be the longest game you've ever experienced.

you obviously didn't play Legendary

[SSCOOLCHEA]

you didn't even play haze to make that claim.....only N4G where people who don't play the game can comment on the game.. I played it and its not that bad..

[Ninja-Sama]

Last remnant got voted worst RPG of the year and I look to the side and see Last Remnant being advertised...classic.

[SlappingOysters]

oh well, at least you know they are being honest

[AngelusRen]

At least they aren't taking cash for ads then lying and saying the game is good.

Turning Point: Fall of liberty

[INehalemEXI]

The Worst Fighter of 2008
Loser = Soul Calibur Legends (Wii)
The Soul Calibur series has been at the top of the fighting genre since its inception thanks mostly to its wonderfully refined controls and easily accessibly move-set… and the frequent upskirts don’t hurt either if you’re a guy gamer. The failure of either of these key components to be mapped to the Wii’s unique controls successfully saw this tarnish the brand’s solid reputation by smearing it with poop coloured suck.

it sucked but it was not a fighter...

[TheColbertinator]

Haze,Legendary,and Turning Point...wow God help us

[SONYSLAVE]

Resistance 2 up there too God I felt like i was playing a halo clone

yea you play the game and it feels just like halo 3 there's your analysis. the sh!t is weak.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

- Realistic jumping
- Hedgehog grenades Halo 3 stole
- Bubble shield Halo 3 stole

You never played this game. I can guarantee this. Resistance 2 is the best online experience I've ever had. The campaign was really good also...but not THE BEST!

Resistance is a very dark series. Halo is not. Resistance is semi-realistic. Halo is not. Resistance has a points system. Halo does not.

Need I continue?

How did GTA4 beast MGS4 for best Action Game..???

I pretty much dis-agreed with almost all there winners..except a few

[McFlouncy]

It's entirely subjective. Personally I agree with most selections- or at least I can see the logic behind the choice.

For me it IS Fallout 3. Absolutely stunning game. Just a wonderful world, technically awesome, crappy animations, but Bethesda can be forgiven, they're good at everything else.

[celldomceen1]

wow that was predictable sonyslave, you can always depend on him for the in depth analysis. see what did i tell you guys he's great!

[ReTarDedFisHy]

Was probably Haze.
It goes like this:
Haze > Turning Point > Legendary

[Nicaragua17]

LOL out of all the worst FPS games of 2008,HAZE is still the best FPS out of all of them.That shows you just how terrible FPS like Turning Point and Legendary really are.

[smurfie4]

It was one of the 1st fps games I played, along with duke nukem 3d.

[Socomer 1979]

none of you !

I am the FPShooter !
Like pokemon, I gotta have em all !

My FPS of 2008:

BATTLE FIELD: BAD COMPANY !
Runner Up: Resistance 2 !

Worst: Farcry 2 (Bad Controls)

[greyfox235]

with Waw, i was skeptical about it going back to ww2 but the story was just as engrossing as cod4 and the capaig was awesome

mulitiplayer was like cod4 but people are acting like thats a bad thing? i didnt like it, I LOVED IT.

IMO better than gears 2, there i said it.

[greyfox235]

campaign

[Socomer 1979]

its a high seller & they are jumping on the cod4 clone.

I really enjoyed it though. Alot actually but I finished in 2 sittings on
normal because I'm not retarded enough to try veteran. Although, I
I did try for about 2 hours of agonizing pain.

Co-op is great!
the multiplayer on the other hand felt too much like de zsa vu.
Dogs were a nice touch.
I just felt like they can fit cod4 modern warfare & cod waw
on 1 bluray.

You guys would hate me as a reviewer. I would say everything would be better on a bluray disc &
I wouldnt be lying. Devs could charge $120 for that & I would by it.

[SlappingOysters]

hasn't been the greatest year for FPS games I reckon.

I loved Far Cry 2, but that save system... damn... no way it could be top after that.

[greyfox235]

well i beat it on veteran, satisfiying feeling beating it.

and yes de za vu, but its still not horrible just not original

i enjoyed every second of it and i am still playing it.

until christmas when i get a new game (most likely fallout3)

p.s. never played a fallout before

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

FarCry 2 was incredibly boring.

COD:WaW had the voice acting, but it didn't feel as real as COD4. The mutli-player still isn't as good as COD4 and what's with this whole LAG thing? I don't know why we have to put up with it...

Crysis: Warhead is the best. Crysis was the best last year.

[Axelay]

Simple response.
There are too much Fps right now.
Where are my platformers.
Sometimes i wish i could come back in the 90's.

[Rhoic]

Left 4 Dead here.. absolutely the best multiplayer game I've ever played (co-op/competitive)
