Default Best FPS game?

I have A new PC on order and wanted to buy a FPS game ready for its arrival not interested in multiplayer as i use a mobile dongle for access and it constantly drops the connection what would people recommend?

The PC is i7 with A reasonable graphics card.

Bioshock (1 not 2) - cheap on steam

Call of duty 4

Half-Life2 + addons - the "orange box" is dirt cheap on steam & Portal (single player) & FT2 (multi player) are the nuts

Batman Arkham Asylum (3rd person)

Borderlands

Fallout (new one?)

Assassins Creeds 2 (3rd person)

Battlefield Band company 2
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 2
Bioshock 1 & 2
Left 4 Dead 1 & 2

ofc dont leave out the tester...still hardcore for a good pc to run on ultra settings.

Crysis & Crysis Warhead.


PS,. ditch the mobile dongle and stick a LAN cable in , even if it means drilling and feeding cables ! its well worth it in the long run.

BF BC2 is a cracking game single and multi

modern warefare two is a good single player game, but way too short.

just cause 2, mass effect 2, not relay 1st person but close enough angle you can get used to them. i hate 3rd person but realy got into them.

BFBC2 and MW2 on a dongle - hmmmmmmmm I don't think!

Also with anything other than a good not reasonable gfx card they will suck!

Why do you need a dongle for single player?

None Guns, then Dragonage origins, lots of blood n guts, some downloadable content that you can purchase, has an expansion out for it which is dragonage awakening.
Very good graphics and play, won the award at the beginning of the year for best rpg (got like 98%).

Thanks for all the advice off to amazon etc to check prices and get some games. Got old medal of honour game will need to see if that runs in windows 7 64bit

Have no BT line and not going to pay them £120 to install then £15 a month for 2meg connection (I am a long way from exchange) and tried virgin a few years back and their customer service was dreadfull and the network full of issues so sticking with the dongle which when it works gives 0.5meg and cost £77 for 12 months/12gig
