Allow me to reiterate: FEAR 3 is fucking garbage. It's not a FEAR game, it's Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Ah FEAR 2... it is in some ways superior to the original, but at the same time, it's also not as good. They consolified it a bit, making it a bit easier, removing the lean system, and replacing the squad based enemy system with more traditional waves. 

 However, it is also gorier, there are some really fun weapons to use, especially the kickass sniper that literally blows people in half. There are mech section, and a section that trumps every bit of horror from the original, it's just fucking awesome, to the point I was smiling the whole time whilst jumping at every noise. It is a good game, it's just not F.E.A.R. 1. And don't go anywhere near F.3.A.R. it's fucking awful.

Stalker SOC is in my top 10 games of all time. I fucking adore it. Last Few FPS I've enjoyed: HD versions of Serious Sam, the new Shadow Warrior game, and the new Wolfenstein is pretty tits too. Doom 4 looks to be going back to roots which is awesome, and there are a few indie shooters coming out like Wrack that are looking quite good.

 Oh, and if you haven't played it, play Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth. It is one of the best horror fps I've ever played... if you patch it of course.

Yeah I heard Sacred 3 was balls. That's unfortunate, as 2 was amazing. Never played 1, but 2 was just super.

 I really need to try EDF, sounds like my kind of game! And VTM is in my top 10 games of all time for a reason. Fuck that game is awesome.

Oh yeah, because Japan is known for their cultural tolerance :p

As a Sega Genesis owner, I'd like to point out that Nintendo consoles were white and the far more popular. Try and argue with me? Sorry, I can't hear you over your Nintendo Power chants...

Oh man this is awesome!

Yeah System Shock would be a great pick since it's usually cheap and would run on an old ass laptop. As for recommendations for Game Club goes, I have a few:

 Vanquish: For when we need an insane, over the action game.

 Catherine: Because it's fucking Catherine.

 Thomas Was Alone: Short, sweet, and has an awesome plot/script/soundtrack/everything. 

I like my gameplay to feel good. I like it to be chaotic and fun, or tense, or satisfying. However, there are exceptions. Both Bioshock and System Shock have terrible gunplay, and yet I love them because of the way they tell their story and their unique setting.

System Shock 2 absolutely counts, as does FEAR. FEAR almost got mentioned in this article, since it's one of my faves as well. I also really, really dislike Halo and Turok, so maybe you got off on a bad foot.

 Here are some suggestions I feel you'd like: S.T.A.L.K.E.R., either Call of Pripyat or Shadow of Chernobyl, both are awesome, but do need patching to run properly and I'd recommend using the complete mod. They're open world games, almost rpgs. It's like a more hardcore Fallout 3 where you have to eat and drink and be more weary of environmental hazards and stuff.

 Serious Sam: They're cheap, and they put the fear in me more than most horror games, due to how insane the challenge is and how many enemies you have to deal with at once. You constantly have to move, and you constantly have to adapt to the situation.

Half Life 2: The ultimate single player FPS. Seriously, it is a must play if you haven't already played it.

 Singularity: It's like Bioshock but with time manipulation and better shooting mechanics. It's a hell of a lot of fun. 

 Also, I'm currently playing System Shock 2 for the first time: Damn that game is immersive. I have no graphic mods or anything, just playing the GoG version of the game. I'll give you one tip: turn off the music, and you'll be in for one hell of an atmospheric experience.

I used to be the same, don't worry. I cannot play FPS on console, it just feels wrong. Play with a keyboard and mouse at 60 fps. First Person Shooters are where your framerate matters most, as you feel the lack of smoothness more than anything else. While I prefer my PCs, in every other genre I don't care what the framerate is as long as it's close to 30 and consistent, but with FPS, I need that smoothness.

 Also, are there any other first person shooters you do like? Which genres do you prefer usually? Maybe I could give you some suggestions.
