Doom 3-esque titles

[Jak]

I'm looking for some epic, inventive, and scary FPS. I love Doom 3, Half Life 2 left me pretty unimpressed (in how telegraphed everything about it was laid out), Bioshock is very good but I wouldn't say its as scary as Doom 3.

I've heard FEAR is pretty cheesy, and Monolith's past games have never truly impressed me. Timeshift looks gimmicky. Not a fan of Call Of Duty. I love Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Counter Strike: Source.

But what else is out there? I've read Turok is kinda' average, and the same with Hellgate: London, nothing else is really jumping out at me besides Crysis.

If you can stomache several year old graphics give System Shock II a try. In a way Bioshock was the spiritual successor to the System Shock series. It was definietly one of the best games of its time. In several ways system shock 2 was superior to Bioshock. It was quite a scarey and tense game and these aspects were also enhanced since you weren't an uber powerful frag master and but you had to pick and choose what battles to fight since enemies could be extremely deadly.

If you want a scary FPS experience, FEAR is the way to go, especially the first expansion of it, called Extraction Point. The original FEAR will scare you at least half a dozen times, but if Doom 3 scared you a lot, then Extraction Point might give you a heart attack.

Other than that, I'm also looking for some nice atmospheric and scary FPS. Quake 4 was not scary in the same sense as Doom 3 was, it scared you because there was a stronger feeling of having to survive.

ss2 is the god of fps/rpg hybrids. there are several mods that pretty up the graphics a bit too.

as for other doom 3 like shooters, try quake 4, clive barkers undying, aliens vs predator 1 & 2, and realms of the haunting (very old but VERY good).
