MrEco: OK! I think I should mention something. I did ask for tactical type shooters. In other words games like Metroid Prime, Killer 7, Time Splitters and P.N.03 are exactly what I'm
not looking for. Something that requires more intelligence and not just a fast trigger finger and a love of super unrealistic stories/settings.
Romulus: I'm really surprised that no-one has mentioned the Splinter Cell series yet. You can get it for
PC,
Gamecube or
PS2. I would call this one of the best Tactical Shooters out, without a shadow of a doubt. Also seeing as you said your PC is 6 years out of date, I would image you should even be able to play this if you don't want it on either console. If you like it you can carry on with
the series of them. Another plus is the music is done by
Amon Tobin and the sound track to Chaos Theory is one of the best Drum and Bass albums around.
The only other series I would recommend is Hitman, which has a heavy tactical edge to it. Plus killing people with piano wire never gets dull, or you can play the game like
this.
Nah, Splinter Cell was more of an actiony-type game, not really a shooter. And also, weren't the system requirements for Double Agent so ridiculous for its time?
