RPG-Shooters

No hiding it. We’re a partisan bunch. But we can’t quite crown Borderlands the greatest RPG shooter in the history of video games just yet. There’s the minor issue of Gearbox actually releasing a brilliant game first.

In the meantime, we’ve busied ourselves by debating the best existing RPG shooter. We’ve whittled it down to ten candidates for the honor. Now its time for a vote.

Here’s how it works. Below is a list of the ten best RPG shooters, as suggested by the Borderlands Guide community. Pick five. Rank them from 1st to 5th. We’ll use a preferential voting system. A first place vote counts as 10 points. A fifth place vote counts as 5 points. The title with the most points wins.

I would like to get at least 50 participants in this vote so please encourage people you know on other sites to participate. The vote will close on Sunday May 10th. I will announce the results not long after.

As for the criteria, vote for the games you feel combine the best of the two genres. Your top choice should be a great RPG and a great shooter.

The nominees are--drum roll please--…

Bioshock

Deus Ex

Fallout 3

Hellgate: London

Mass Effect

Neocron

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

System Shock

Too Human

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines

In the format below, post your top 5 in this thread or send them to me using the contact form at the top of this site. Thanks and happy voting.

1. First choice

2. Second

3. Third

4. Fourth

5. Fifth

Don't copy. First three

Don't copy. First three I think are great, then it falls off a bit for me

1. Deus Ex

2. Bioshock

3. Fallout 3

4. S.T.A.L.K.E.R

5. Too Human - Don't think this is a great one by any means but its solid enough to make 5.
