How can they not still be making these.

Seriously, 360 shooter is awesome, how did games like Halo and other such popular shooters not have a space level with 360 controls.

Remembering

Brilliant game. I still remember nearly falling out of my chair at least a few dozen times. Or even just the feeling of complete nausea coupled with toppling over backwards after pulling the mouse back too fast. Well thought out gameplay, fast pace.

Old, but just as fun classic

Oh, Descent Descent. Simple, but hard and explosive gameplay, great 6DoF concept, and a wonderful execution. /watch?v=W97F5n_jBFI

d2x on Linux

Open Source (see d1x/d2x homepage)! Works with d2x on linux, level editor is perfect, works perfectly on wine, I spend lots of time creating levels, drawback: The enemies are so stupid.
