I got heavily into gaming in the 90's so I'm probably biased when I say that the late 90's and early 00's were the peak of FPS gaming. Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem, and then Half-Life and the ultimate FPS - Half-Life 2. Yeah, I'm biased, but that was the golden age.

Modern shooters have lost something. Everything is loud, too flashy, too fast. It's style over substance. And the kids are still going wild over the annual $80 reskin!

The golden age was when stories were told through games and they weren't just another boring twitchy arena shooter.
