As you want recent games, I'll pick some of my favourites from now.
Prey - that's a pretty awesome first person shooter - very well done
Half Life 2 - I can't get over how good this is, great plot, great graphics, great gameplay, great sound, great atmosphere, great amount of weapons, great physics (The gravity gun is fun) - it has it all. With that you get all of the Half Life 2 mods and the up coming Episodes (with Episode 1 already out and Episode 2 on its way)
Doom 3 - I kid, I kid, I hate this game I'm afraid - gets boring after a while and the ending is worth the hours you put into completion.
Call of Duty 2 - good WW2 shooter, doesn't bore me in the least and has good variation.
Echoes - Another DBPro game, I never thought I'd like arcade shooters, but I love this one, it's so addictive and free.
Hitman: Blood Money - Only played the demo, looks pretty good, I love the previous games, so it's a good stealth assasin action game.
Devil May Cry 3 - Been playing this recently. though not an FPS, it's a good action game and pretty fun to play.
FEAR - Looks pretty good, only played the demo, was immediately satisfied, there's plenty of action there.
Hope that helps.
