    So i've been playing through a bunch of fun games new and old. The Call of Duty series, BioShock series, Crysis and Crysis Warhead. What are other fun FPS games with good single player campaigns?

    Far cry 2 is great fun, also I'm finally getting around to Doom 3 and it's cool, bit jumpy for wusses like me though. Also I'm assuming you've already played the orange box to death, if not, make that your priority! I still play through Half-Life 2 once in a while, amazing game.

    I second Fallout 3. Just finished playing it and it's very extensive. One of the best games I've ever played.

    Mass Effect 1 and 2 are also very good games.
