Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[STEAM] We cant find anything unless its ad takes up 3/4ths of the Store page

I would disagree. HL2 slowly teaches you how to play an fps over the course of the game. The controls are simple and it starts you of with no guns just letting you get used to moving around and interacting. Then one gun with tons of bullets against just a few enemies and so on and so forth.
I'd advise Doom. Or perhaps Duke3d with Eduke32 installed and some nice high res packs. Classics, people!

Edit: Drake mentioned it to.
Wide open areas. Enemies have tells to announce when they're coming. Weapons are simple to learn.
Damnit, now I want to play it again.

I played Doom a few years ago on one of the updated engines. I wanna say JDoom. Good times.
If you have both episodes of Serious Sam HD all you need to install is the second one. The Fusion thing will import all the First Encounter stuff over to Second Encounter. Then it's all you need. Unless you have a friend who wants to coop and all they have is the First Encounter. Then you'll need it to play with them.
HL/2 and Serious Sam are great choices. TF2 or L4D/2 for the multi.
Also, the CoD games are really easy to get into. Even though they don't really ever drop in price and the community may piss you off.
I'm probably just bad at this, considering I only played for some odd 30 minutes, but the 250,000 points in 40 second challenge is still kicking my face in. I made it up to 170k or so.

It most certainly is having issues. I hope it is a portent of impending poverty, I mean, savings.

And speaking of first person things, let's tug at the old hopestring again:
Why do they torment me so
:cry:

Also, page 99 and it's early Thursday morning. New thread just in time for a certain sale, maybe?

Yes. A thousand times yes. I can just picture that ad they had for the game with Faith leaping toward a mirrored glass building, except now there's tons of zombies falling off the building behind and when you look down you see crashed cars and hordes.
Yeah, if you were shooting you were pretty much doing it wrong, something that seemed to catch a lot of people offguard just because it was first person.
