When i think back to playing Bioshock i get this feeling that i can't really explain. I think it has something to do with the way the setting, enemies and story flow. I think this classifies it as a great game.

The orginal Red Faction was pretty great, interesting new weapons, and the whole ability to carve apart 90% of the landscape as you went was one of the most entertaining things ever. I remember a puzzle in the game where to release the mechanical hold on your vehicle, there was some elaborate jumping puzzle to manually do it...or you could C4 the locked control room and simply press the button. And the multiplayer was great, even if it was offline, with 4p splitscreen + bots. With the only bar on level destruction being one or two indestructable panels and a overall damage cap to the entire level, you could do wonders over the course of a deathmatch. I remember often having 2p splitscreen with no bots, just the two of us seeing how far outside of the level we could tunnel before the geomod stopped...

The sequel limited the geomod far far too severely in my eyes. Here's hoping the next sequel I've heard snippets of returns to its original glory.

And of course, the mandatory list, HL2, the Halo series (Which while fairly solid in my eyes, receive so much flak because console fanboys hailed them as super innovative, when a brief look at pc fps prior to them would quish that idea, and each sequel failed to bring much new content to the table, just more of the same really. At least in my opinion) And the rest of the list, doom, Timeplsitters series. etc~

Unreal Tournament, and the extremely, extremely fun but under appreciated Unreal Championship (2). It was like UT and Soul Calibre had a baby, and it was AWESOME, even if it was console only.

A lot of the greats has already been posted, but where is the love for Operation Flashpoint? man, the hours spent in multiplayer flashpoint sessions on custom maps...
We used to play this Vietnam scenario that would take four hours to complete, and if you died, that was it, and those who have played that game know how easy it was to get killed.
Our sad little platoon, against hundreds of NVA and Vietcong soldiers, it must have taken us 40 tries to complete it, one lone soldier crawling to the rescue chopper because he had two legs full of 7,62
