    Best single player first person shooter for 360?

    Whats the best overall 1st person shooter game for the 360? It is very RARE that I purchase a game that is NOT a sports title. However, I am growing a little bored with the 2 games I own (nba 2k8 and APF2k8)...My gaming time is very limited so I don't think I could own a game like GTA, which seems like it is by far the best non-sports game availiable. First person shooters would be good for me I think since I can play it in shorter time frames.

    So, are there any good ones out there for the 360? The last non-sports title i owned was BLACK for the good 'ol xbox.

    I downloaded the demo for Battlefield:Bad Company yesterday and found that pretty fun....the graphics in the cutscenes are VERY nice....gameplay graphics are pretty good....sound is amazing.

    I'm a sucker for graphics and storylines....

    Is there any game out there that you would suggest, or should I just wait for Bad Company?

    My vote is either Call of Duty 4 or Gears of War. I guess the edge goes to COD4, since the multiplayer is superb. I know you're looking for single player, but you can play a round of deathmatch in a matter of minutes online.

    Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 are good, but probably not as easy to pick up and play as Gears and COD.

          Bioshock, Bioshock, and a little more Bioshock

          It's not a modern realistic shooter, but if you like graphics and storyline, you're not getting better on the 360.

              I completely agree. cod4 is my favorite 360 game probably, but it's because of the multiplayer - the single player imo has a lot of personal dislikes eg. spawning enemies until you cross a magic line and get to progress.

              gears has 'emergence holes' where the baddies come from, but they don't just keep comming out of them endlessly until you do something or go somewhere that 'triggers' the game to progress.

              BUT, technically gears is a 3rd person shooter. Still, Gears is the only shooter i've had on the 360 that i've played through twice, and done coop on it split screen style. I like the story and how the game changes over time, it's pretty intense and great fun and strategic.

              Bioshock imo is way overrated. The actual shooting in the game isn't very tight and a bit weak for me. Enemy variety and where they come from is weak to me too, and I never felt the urge to finish the game when my rental was up.

              To me gears has sports elements too because of its pacing and cover system. It's the best single player shooter for 360 imo, also I beat condemned 2 during a rental and that was a pretty good romp too.

                  Single player I would say Bioshock or Orange Box. Gears is fun but the single player campaign is over very very quickly

                    Bioshock with the lights off and the sound up.

                    Another recommendation would be Gears of War is worth it. COD4 & Mass Effect is solid too.

                      Bioshock is the best single-player FPS on the 360. It is not a "pure" shooter though. If you want non-stop action without having to worry about story, CoD4 is the way to go. Even though, CoD4's story surprised me.

                          Gears of War and the upcoming Gears of War 2 are the only reasons I still own a 360... so ya

                          Although, tecnically, it's not a "first person" shooter.

                            I'd say Orange Box. You get Half Life 2, HL2: Episode 1 and HL2: Episode 2. Episodes 1 and 2 take place after HL2. And once you're done with those you have another awesome single player experience in Portal. Should you feel like playing online, Team Fortress 2 is amazing.

                            The story in the Half Life games are amazing but they are ports from the XBOX versions and feature only mild graphical updates.

                              I own my 360 for LIVE, My Wii for SMBB, and my PS3 just to have it. Lol.
