Whatoplay presents the Top 10 PC Shooting Games of the Last 10 Years
Our ranking is not a personal opinion.
It's based on a 1 to 10 score that aggregates gamers and critics' reviews into a unique
score called playscore.
Opening at number 10 is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
A gem at its time.
COD 4 was one of the best shooters from the series, mainly due to its strong multiplayer,
where hardcore mode gives you a sense of realism - no HUDS and where 1-shot-1 kills happen.
Good audiovisual presentation.
intelligent squad A.I. and a successful multiplayer.
Too bad, the single player campaign was too short though.
A playscore of 8.9
Ninth place is Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
If you're a fan of old Western-style gun-toting mayhem, then look no further
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger may not have a multiplayer at its disposal, but the fun and
rich story-driven single player is more than enough to get you hooked, with its:
cool comic-style cutscenes.
expert voice acting.
and a well-made character progression system.
However, the dueling was.. uhh.. kind of broken.
a playscore of 9.0
Ranked number 8 is Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
Cute and FUN!
Is what this game is.
From very solid roots, Garden Warfare does superb on transforming the top-down genre
into a full 3rd-person shooting goodness!
With very detailed representations of characters.
Bright and colorful environment.
Tons of varied and unique classes.
and a nice customization feature, so you can make your own personal badass!
a playscore of 9.1
7th is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
The best, if not - the most successful online multiplayer shooter franchise ever!
There's not much change in this sequel except for an updated look and a few new modes.
The player skill-based system of counter-strike is just as intense as ever.. as longtime players
duke it out into the most complete and best-looking CS as of yet.
However, the game can be brutally punishing for newcomers.
a playscore of 9.2
Number 6 is Mass Effect 2
A 3rd-person-shooter that is more of an RPG, but still a solid shooter nonetheless
This story-driven game is one of the best in its genre.
With a great cast of characters, superb dialogue, a powerful choice-driven story~ where everything
depends on your choices, and solid shooting mechanics.
This game is almost A+ in every field, if not for its framerate drops and occasional
bugs and glitches.
a playscore of 9.3
ranked 5th is Bioshock Infinite
The bioshock series has been one hell of a crazy ride, and this sequel will not disappoint!
Fresh-out from the bowels of Rapture, Infinite takes you to the skies!
The floating city of Columbia is stunning, with vivid colors and beautifully-dressed
characters..
the only problem with it is its absurd morals and principles.
A fresh new take on first-person shooters, It holds a playscore of 9.3
fourth place is Borderlands 2
Shoot, loot, and shoot some more!
This is what the game is all about, with a vast and rich open world, you can almost go
anywhere and collect as many guns as you want!
And if ever you feel bored playing alone, you could always jump to co-op multiplayer.
Sadly though, it can only be played online, with no option for local multiplayer.
a playscore of 9.4
3rd.. is Left 4 Dead 2
The game that has the best A.I.
controlled zombies!
No other game forces you to be alert at all times.
The zombies are fast, unpredictable, and with a few over-mutated ones - hard to deal with.
The game has high replayability, and a very ''team-based'' gameplay.
However, the lack of innovation and a less than perfect A.I.
companion is~ a minus.
a playscore of 9.4
ranked 2 is Team Fortress 2
What I love about this game is that since its a class-based shooter, you get to experiment
on what play style suits you best, and how it will benefit the team.
With its cartoony style, a wide range of classes, each having their own roles, and a sense of
humor that stays all throughout the game..
TF2 will forever be one of my favorites.
a playscore of 9.4
And the best is..
Half-Life 2
After its huge success over the first game, Half-Life 2 does not disappoint.
And as before, the story is superb!
With a great sci-fi feel, excellent voice acting, good graphics, and a revolutionized
gameplay that paved the way for a lot of shooting games, this game is like a deep, engrossing
novel coming-to-life.
A classic.
Half Life 2 holds a playscore of 9.5
