Is there a particular genre of FPS you're looking for?
My favorite (at least, at the moment) are the Unreal Tournament games. You can get UT2K4 for $20 new, I believe. It's a fantastic game, but it's almost entirely about the multiplayer. Single player is sort of a joke in that game. Very much a run and gun sort of game. No realism here.
Other favorites: Half Life (the original. I enjoyed HL2, but never quite as much as Half Life), which can be bought with a bunch of expansions for about $20. Counter-Strike (a free modification) is one of the most addictive online FPS ever. I hate the people who play the game, but I fucking love the game. Of course, if you do buy HL2 instead, you can play CS: Source, which is just a better looking version of the same game.
Far Cry is a pretty decent single player game, and somewhat challenging in some parts.
The Medal of Honor games are great for WWII style games. Fun campaigns, pretty good multiplayer. Stay away from Brothers in Arms... definitely not worth it.
The Battlefield games are pretty fun, as well, but once again they're all about the multiplayer. Good objective based multiplayer action.
And the game that got me totally addicted to FPS, and still one of my favorites... Rainbow6. A squad based counter-terrorism theme FPS. There have been lots of sequels/expansions, and they've all been fun (though I thought Rogue Spear was a little disappointing). That was the game in which I was first accused of cheating online. Ahh, the memories.
