First and third person shooters.

Seeing as this involves new to be released wolf game I have put this in this forum!

If you could only have 3 of these, which would they be?

Return To Castle Wolfenstein
Max Payne
Serious Sam
Alien v Predator 2
Deus Ex
Soldier Of Fortune
Operation Flashpoint
Quake 3 Arena
Half Life
No Ones Lives Forever

If I have missed any good ones (Other than Kingpin and Unreal Tourni) then add them as a fourth option.

Not on a PC, it's good for the PS2 but wouldn't hack it with PC 1st persons.

Max Payne - One the most impressive and ground-breaking 3rd person shooters on any platform, ever. Just make sure your computer has the cajones to run this game well.

Operation Flashpoint - VERY hard, but very, very good. Immersive, detailed, ultra-realistic and incredibly frustrating at time, but one of the best "war-sims" you can get, with a mission pack out this Friday for £9.99.

No-One Lives Forever - Excellent. A totally refreshing look at 1st person shooters. Fun, witty, awesome graphics,loads of different level-types (1 is underwater aboard a sunken ship, another is falling from a plane with no parachute and trying to get one from the bloke below, motorbike riding etc)

Those 3, for me, are the ones I'm still playing a year after purchasing, simply because they're excellent fun and all do something new to the genre.
Castle Wolfenstein looks amazing though.
But I'd recommend those 3, for what my opinion's worth anyway

Goaty, gis ya top 3 out of them mate.

I also missed Red Faction and Thief off of the list.

Basically I want to bulster my game collection but obviously can't afford to throw it away on all of these great games.
