Real classics if a little dated now (but great humour) where No One Lives for Ever and it's sequel imaginatively titled "No One Lives Forever 2" (escaping the Mimes haunts me still)...
70's Spy action in the Men from UNCLE style (with extra humour)...

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
Counterstrike Source is still the best online FPS around IMHO. There is always a crazy number of people on and there is always a server you could get on even if you aren't in a clan. Just make sure you find a couple of good reliable servers with proper restrictions like no magnums...Seriously every time just starts going crazy with sniping on every server i play with magnums allowed.

I hate to burst your bubble, but CSS has to rate as one of the worst online shooters, period.
On a scale from one to ten, its community would be in the negatives; its hitboxes are iffy and its balancing is non existant.
Either play a decent one (such as dods as eddy suggested) or get a sp game where these issues dont' matter, like Half Life 2, which has to be one of the best games ever made.

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
Sapi, as for community I personally tend to play with friends as most people have Half Life 2 and it wouldn't be too hard to get a couple of friends get it.
As for balancing, there is a reason why most servers ban magnums and tactical shields due to their cheapness. Magnum is the big offender here. After all of the time that I have played using scout where head shots are needed for 1 shot kills, I can almost guarantee a one shot one kill every time I play, but again most servers don't allow it.
The noob cannon is pretty cheap indoors, but it gets owned by longer range weapons easily and I would stick to an AK anyday.

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
And I still hold to the opinion that Half-Life 2 is a lukewarm game at best and a poor successor to the previous series.
