Are there any other first person shooters (available for PC) that you guys think might appeal to my tastes?

I'm a fan of Far Cry 2 as well as the already mentioned Fallout 3 and Crysis. All three of those are definitely more open-world and sandbox than Bioshock or Half Life, but all of the games are great. You might want to start with Half Life 2, as I find it makes kind of an awesome introduction to the shooter genre because the guns are simplistic but awesome (except for the gravity gun which is just awesome) and the level design is fantastic. Bioshock is kind of just Half Life with special powers and more depth in that there weapon upgrades, plasmids and tonics, and other things to mess around with that Half Life doesn't have. I also haven't played System Shock 2 so I can't say which I prefer. I generally find older games to be slower, which might appeal to you.
