The games themselves are quite good but I personally have real trouble playing FPS with a controller (especially dualshocks) so you're enjoyment of them is prefaced on that I'd say.

Vietcong remains one of my all time best FPSes despite its roughness around the edges. Eastern Euro devs deliver games that are fun to play yet are packed with amazing amounts of attention to detail. creeping around the jungle, butthole puckering as you expect to get slotted in an ambush any minute, finding charlie's hidden caches and tunnels... great stuff. Play it on hard or vietcong difficulty.
The last handful of years you've got the Bethesda Wolfenstein and Doom games which are okay. Not great, but the combat is solid and they look nice. Then you've got the Far Cry games if you can put up with Ubisoft's open world checklists. They have solid everything else, for the most part. I'm struggling to think of other good ones lately that aren't retro indies or whatever.
During the "dark times" of Xbox focus and whatnot before that there are very few. FEAR is a great one from early in that era right before things went bad. Crysis is great from around the same time, fuck anyone who says different. Even Crysis 2 is pretty solid, just nowhere near as good as the first one. Can't say the same for the FEAR sequels, they were pretty shit. Raven's Wolfenstein 2009 and Singularity are pretty good. Not amazing but pretty good for that time. Medal of Honor Airborne has a neat gimmick and plays alright.
For pre-Xbox days it's mostly stuff you've surely heard of, your Quakes and Dooms and whatnot. Sin is sometimes overlooked and pretty good. I liked Medal of Honor's first couple PC games a lot, though I haven't played them in a long time.

People here on codex were pretty happy with DUSK (Quake 1 style FPS). Didnt play it yet though.
