Picking The Top Ten FPS Titles Of All-Time

Posted by simoniker on Sunday March 14, 2004 @06:43AM from the not-a-top-ten-by-gamespy dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for its 'TenSpot' feature selecting picks for the top ten first-person shooter (FPS) games of all-time. The article argues: "So what makes a first-person shooter good? Is it a cohesive story and a well-designed campaign? A creative multiplayer mode? How about a devastating arsenal of weapons? Or fiendishly clever AI enemies? The games in this list exhibit one or more of these qualities and have all affected the way shooters are made in a tangible and lasting way." It goes on to identify top titles such as Duke Nukem 3D ("...good-natured attitude... great level design, and solid engine"), Battlefield 1942 ("...an excellent game made better by retail expansion packs"), and, naturally, Doom ("one of the true classics of computer gaming.")

Please, whoever keeps posting (and submitting) these damn "top ten" articles to slashgames, please, I'm pleading with you, stop.... Each "article" is obviously a thinly disguised fanboy rant by whoever wrote it for their favorite games in a particular genre.
There is no really meaningful list that can come out of a tep ten, when you're including all of time as your scope. At first, it was enjoyable to see people try, but the novelty has worn off. Give up the ghost...
