Fisting because I also remember really liking Jericho and wondering why on earth it had been so panned in the gaming press. Looking at it now, it's a title that appears to have been liked a lot more by the people that played it than the reviewers. (Small sample sizes but the user reviews on MC and on Google are a lot higher than the critic's scores.) Can't really remember much about it now, but it was about 14 bloody years ago I played it. I do remember finishing it and being sad it wasn't going to get a sequel though.
I liked that it managed to make the story fit the gameplay involving switching between characters. The characters themselves also had some personality and weren't too samey. Why isn't this game being sold digitally anymore?- Clive Barker's Jericho
Dude, no. Jericho is not even competent let alone good.
I liked it.

That really depends on if one minds slow keyboard controls. I played it not too long ago and the defining flaws of the game are one music track and the awkward controls, takes a while to turn around and I think it might not have strafing. The sequels are a lot of fun if you like Wolfenstein-style FPS games though.Though it's a 1st-person fantasy shooter with some ranged magic attacks, I have fomd memories of the first "FPS" I ever played in the early 90s - Catacomb 3D. I wonder if it's still worth playing today. There's just something about those giant bloodshot EGA eyeballs chasing you around in the mazes that has a charm no modern game I've played can match.

I don't think Catacomb 3D had a shareware version, just a commercial release and one through a disk magazine. Catacomb Abyss on the other hand, was shareware but I don't think there was any difference between the shareware and commercial version, but there were two sequels you could buy. I wonder if the two have mixed together in your memory?Back then, I think I only played FPSs with KB movement and maybe even just CTRL for fire. It was the shareware version that first time but I liked the game so much I think I got the full version. Trying to think of the first FPS I played with mouselook; it was likely Quake for the Stealth II with Rendition's Verite chipset. Ah, the memories, of playing all these old games on original hardware!

It's an exclusive so very few here probably played it, but Resistance: Fall of Man was one of the best FPS games I've ever played. Great storyline, great graphics, amazing atmosphere, and the online was ridiculously fun. I would stay away from the sequels. My friend had Resistance 2, and I felt like I was playing a CoD clone, and I've heard that the final game sucks.
I mean fucking 1950's game with aliens. It was fucking awesome! Very underrated game.
Yeah, part of their advertisement was a bunch of mysterious stuff. IIRC, some of it was coded, and some people on the PlayStation forum decoded the messages. Very fucking cool game, and I'm sure they probably fucked it up in the sequels because oftentimes your imagination is far better than anything someone could write. In-game, there would be these elite super soldiers that would litter the battlefield, and the game doesn't even explain who they are or why they're following the main character around (if they are). Anyways, crazy deep lore.It's an exclusive so very few here probably played it, but Resistance: Fall of Man was one of the best FPS games I've ever played.

I always wanted to play it but, well, it's a console exclusive so I probably won't. I remember it had an excellent website with, I believe, a radio dial you could activate. For some reason I downloaded and still have the message it played, it's been just sitting there since december 2006:

The third game is good. Not the best, the levels are too short and linear, but the weapon and enemy variety is great. It's also one of the very few console games that made trophy hunting fun. It's more than just "shoot 50 enemies in the legs", there's skill and creativity to it.It's an exclusive so very few here probably played it, but Resistance: Fall of Man was one of the best FPS games I've ever played.

Eh, I'd say it's worth a try at the very least. Just for the uniqueness of it, it probably has more gimmicks per square meter than any FPS released around that time.. Hell, I enjoyed Eradicator and I would never sumbmit it as my pick for the FPS Hall of Fame. Or even the FPS Hall of You Should Casually Play This.
