I have a dozen picks but System Shock 2 will always be a classic in my opinion. Great gameplay, great story, great RPG elements: it's an all-around good time for anyone looking for a slower-paced, survival/horror FPS. (Not to mention you can find it for $10-$20 now since it's a few years old)

System shock 2 is out of print now, I had to get it on Ebay,
 
Playing it right now.
 
Is quite the game
 
 
The Best FPS though in the last 3years is Halo
 
No other game even comes close.

I still have the original cds for both system shock 1 and 2. To this day these are the only beginning and sequel games that I loved and truly felt that the spirit and quality of the first game was intensified in the sequel.

I think that it is one of the only games that really creeped me out while playing. although Clive Barkers Undying was creepy also.
Those are my top two for great scary games although they are worlds apart in terms of feel and gameplay.

OK... all this talk of System Shock2 has me interested. After looking around a little bit I see that a patch gives it coop multiplay. Has anyone tried this? How well does it work? I'll probably try this game anyway, but coop is a big plus in my book

Call of Duty, new game ROCKS badly.
 
Halo is also very good, but does get boring....

Sorry to be obvious and cliched, but shouldn't Half-Life, Deus Ex and Blood 1 be mentioned.
 
Having said that I've never actually played on System Shock 1 & 2.....

Yes doom...
Never got to play the very first one, I just downloaded a shareware version but it doesn't work, such a pity.
 
Even worse is the fact that my PC can't play Doom 3, thought I have seen it played and it looks and sounds (sound and music are just as important as graphics for the atmosphere don't forget) absolutely fantastic.
 
 
 
Just got to twiddle my thumbs for Half-Life 2 now.....

You might want to try Doom95 with the Doom Legacy Engine.
