Also, Black... it was inCREDIBLY basic, but the nostalgia.
Also Area 51 (same as Black).

i really liked the design and level progression on area 51. The way the enemies change as you progress is pretty cool

Was that on the PS2? I remember playing a demo of that game (at least I think so?) on Mortal Kombat Deception and it was AWESOME!
Comment has been collapsed.
i played it on xbox but it was also available on PS2.
I'm glad you liked the demo; for me the game greatest strenght was the design/ enemies would change the deeper you went into area 51

TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect are one of the very best first person shooters out there. I love how fun they are, their atmosphere, and their replay value.

Painkiller Black Edition...it's all kinds of old-school awesome.

That game is a "shitty" console game.. But i did like it more than i thought but not as much as i wanted :)

This is an amazing game! I finished it like three times, made a gameplay for youtube... I love this game!

Pokemon Snap. Sequel when please? E32016
Pretty sure few of my console friends remember or know what Serious Sam is.

Pokemon Snap is the only Pokemon game I've fully went through.

I don't think I have a favorite FPS that isn't already well known. But I have a TPS: Binary Domain.

Would Clive Barker's Undying count as not very well known?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I think it does. It's not even sold anywhere anymore except on GOG and maybe pawnshops.

Some good quality, lesser known FPS games:
Strife: Quest for the Sigil
Shogo
Shadowcaster
Malice for Quake
Descent 1 and Descent 2
Forsaken

descent was one of the big titles of its time. wouldn't exactly call it "lesser known". ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
you play it in first person view, and all you do is shoot stuff. i would say it's the very definition of a FPS. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
well, then Red Baron is also a fps?
because you play it in first person view, and all you do is shoot stuff? :D
but still the first descent games where great. the new one (descent underground) is not very good
Comment has been collapsed.
When people talk about the great FPS games in the 1990s, they usually talk about Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Half-Life, Goldeneye and a few others but Descent never gets the attention it deserves.
Comment has been collapsed.
Forsaken was definitely not as well-known as Descent at the time, but Descent is definitely not "lesser-known".

singularity and wolfenstein 2009. i really enjoyed both but they didn't get too much spotlight when released.
Comment has been collapsed.
i'm waiting for it to be added back, like they did with deadpool ;_;
also prey

It won't happen. Zenimax said thats the worse game Id ever made and don't want to (re) republish it. Although I've played it and its great. I don't know what zeni is thinking.

I played Wolf 2009 in December (was added as drm-free version to local "video games magazine" with dvd disc, a great deal), Also, immediately before it I played The Old Blood and one more time I played Return to Castle Wolfenstein just after finishing "2009". In my opinion this is the best Wolf in series (considering fact that Wolf 3D/Spear of Destiny are really outdated today and The New Order is very similar to TOD). I have a lot of fun with that game, best story, great marriage of oldschool shooting and (still) modern visuals plus game mechanics. Too bad that this gem is hidden from the community of gamers.

Watch Ross' Game Dungeon about it.
Long story short: A soulless, uninspired shooter with uninteresting characters, storyline and gameplay.
And the game received poor sales, so whoever was responsible decided to remove it from steam for good.

And yes, I played it and it doesn't bring me enough attention to replay it so...
Comment has been collapsed.
yes I had so much fun playing RtCW when it came out.

Sanctum/Sanctum 2. Really fun tower defense/fps games. You've probably heard the name before though
Tribes:Ascend. Never played it much myself, but was really good when I did
Blacklight:Retribution. Extremely fun during its time, kinda dead now I hear.
Edit: Dino D-day as already stated is a fun and hilarious game

I liked the first one more for some reason.. Maybe 2 was too hard for me or because I am not really a FPS lover to begin with.

Half-Life 3
*Lies...
Unreal Tournament 2004, Bulletstorm.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think either of them are unknown. UT2k4 was one of the most populated online shooters for quite some years next to Quake and CS.

Spec Ops The Line - game is really good at playing, but ,most powerful is story. After playing this game I had a huge mindfuck for next 3 weeks.
Edit: I would also add Bulletstorm, Bedlam and Serious Sam serie ^^

Great game! I'm actually playing it again to make all achievements... Amazing story, and gameplay. The sandstorms are WOW \o/
Comment has been collapsed.
Spec Ops the Line is my all time favorite, but not sure it qualifies at not being known.

How's Stalker unknown? Even now there's 223 people playing Shadow of Chernobyl. It came out 2007.
Clear Skies has 159 players. Came out 2008.
Call of Pripyat has 281 players. Came out 2010.
If there's over 100 simultaneous players after 5-8 years, then is it really unknown? Shadow of Chernobyl did sell over 2 million copies.
Comment has been collapsed.
thought it was less known, and it's getting old too, so...
and just because a game is still being played doesn't mean it's well known
Comment has been collapsed.
So 700 people + 2-3 mil. copies don't say enough? :D
Although yeah, I understand that you might think it's not well known.

I second the person who wrote Shogo: Mobile Armor Division.
Strangely, even though Monolith is still a very much active, most of its library is barely known. I could also have listed here No One Lives Forever 1-2 as games often near the top of best FPS games of all time, at least until the people who made such lists for gaming-related sites were old enough to remember them. I can't even recall if I ever heard/saw somebody mention them in this decade.

TimeShift slipped under the radar, too bad, it's such a fun game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Timeshift's story doesn't really make any sense, but it's a great fps that does all it needs to, including a nice 'gimmick' of its own with the time powers... and it hasn't even aged that badly in the graphics department either.
all of which makes it the first game I thought of when I saw the thread's title.
What I'm trying to say is... +1
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 just play that game again couple month ago. still very fun game
