Unreal Tournament GOTY Edition on PC is simply the best.
Unreal Championship added new exclusive weapons and scemarios.
Unreal Championship 2 introduced third person perspective and exclusive arenas supporting vertical combat.
Unreal Tournament 2003 introduced expansive outdoor arenas.
Unreal Tournament 2004 Editors Choice Edition introduced Onslaught mode and hoverboards, along with a modding kit with insane options.
2003 and 2004 never saw console release.

Quake 1 was awesome on PC. N64 was indeed the best console port.
Quake 2 introduced a solid story and has an insane modding community and options.
The best port of this one is bundled with the storied sequel on Xbox 360, Quake 4.
Quake 3 is simply great on any platform and now can be streamed right from iD software as Quake Live.
Quake 4 looks and plays great on either PC or Xbox 360
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is structured like Warhawk in gameplay. Available on PC, PS3 and 360.

I've actually always preferred the Quake series, the first one on PC is the best, but if you want a console port get the N64 version because it feels the most like the PC version. I too really don't like the N64 controller but if I remember correctly the controls are customizable. I don't recommend the Saturn version at all, I mean its neat that they were able to pull it off on the Saturn but it runs on a different engine and doesn't have as good of a frame rate as the N64 version.
While you're at it also pick up Doom 64, that game is so awesome. A buddy of mine and I recently played through it and it's really is a lot better than I remember, the music alone is fantastic.

Thanx, did it all on a andoid tablet at that. I did leave out the most recent Unreal Tournament III, because it didn't bring anything new to the table aside from upgraded engine and brilliant graphics.
