Inlander:
What are you after from the genre? Something deeply immersive that will linger with you long after you've played it? Something you can rip through in only a few minutes per level if you feel like it, leaving a trail of blood and guts in your wake? For the former I'd recommend Half-Life 2, I never get tired of playing it. For the former I'd actually suggest that you can still get a lot of fun out of the godfather of them all, the original Doom. Yes the graphics are unbearably ugly by today's standards, yes the mobility is severely limited (you can't even look up!), but for sheer playability it's still a damn classic.
For something different, try something from the Thief series. Granted, most of the "shooting" is shooting water-tipped arrows at flaming torches, but it's a great series and a good example of what can be done when a little imagination is applied to what is usually a powerfully unimaginative genre. I'd suggest Thief 2.

If you want the latter of what Inlander suggested with a graphics update and lots of blood, gore, monsters from hell, and creative killing machines, play Painkiller.
I would also like to add that Fallout 3 is not the best choice when you're looking for a great shooter. It's the right choice for a great action-RPG; a shooter, not so much.

Lise, Half-life 2 and the two episodes are pretty good. There is a really neat story to it and it's told pretty well (especially for a game). The Orange box includes all of them, I think? I can't remember.
If you've already tried CS:Source and TF2 I'm guessing maybe you've already bought HL2? If so you should give it a go. If not & you don't want to buy them PM me your Steam tag & I'll gift you the original HL2 to see if you like it.
Also, Left 4 Dead is pretty good. The multiplayer games are kind of like CS:Source, except there are zombies instead of terrarists and sometimes you play as the zombies and throw up on people or choke them with your prehensile tongue. It's pretty gross fun!

I think Orange Box had Episode 2. Steam should have some kind of package for all the HL2 things.
