When it comes to first person shooter games, there have been hundreds of titles over the years. It is difficult to say which game is completely the best, as everyone has their own opinion on the subject. However, it is possible to narrow the listing down to several of the best and most influential.
Doom
Any list of best shooter games has to start with Doom. This game basically invented the genre, and made walking around, shooting different monsters desirable.
Dark Forces
This game built on the popularity of Doom, and merged it with the Star Wars franchise. The game had multiple spin offs, and several books about the main character of the game. It is still one of the most popular Star Wars games of all time.
Golden Eye

Medal of Honor
This was the first real game to drop players into the middle of WWII battles. There have been countless sequels to this popular video game.
Call of Duty
This game for a long time was second to MoH as top shooting games, but recently, it has claimed the top current spot with its listing of Modern Warfare games.
