Gonna have to disagree with you all and say there is no such thing as a good FPS on console (and yes that includes the over-rated Goldeneye)...

Much as I love, nay - worship, my PS2 there is only one place where FPSs belong and that is on the PC.

Until someone can come up with a control method that is as perfect as a mouse/keyboard combo then I'll never touch a console FPS I'm afraid.

With the customisation, ease of control and kick-ass multi-player you get with PC FPSs, even the very best consolse FPS is simply an average PC FPS.

Compare the depth and quality of Deus Ex with Goldeneye. Compare the speed and frame-rate of UT on PC to the PS2 version. Compare the mods and extra skins/levels of PC QIII to the PS2 version. See? No comparison between console and PC FPSs. And as for Half-Life... pah, old hat I'm afraid. PC owners were enjoying that 4 years ago!!!
