This is wrong too.
It clearly is an FPS, you play in first person and you shoot portals. First Person Shooter. It's in the name.
This doesn't stop it being a Puzzle game as well as an FPS.

These objectives frequently involve puzzle solving (as opposed to the objectives that are of the "kill X number of enemies/clear the area to progress").
To use a famous example from one of the series you've mentioned, The Silent Cartographer from the original Halo. You have to locate and deactivate the security system as well as survive. There's navigation of an environment, and working out the required sequence and appropriate location, involved as well as just brute force shooting. To use another famous FPS example that I can think of - Goldeneye on the N64 contained plenty of puzzles, usually locating and destroying or installing items.
Not sure if you are assuming people only play the multiplayer versions of FPS games, wherein I assume tactics and strategy are more prominent, but it's not the only available way of playing ;-)

I did vote for Myst, but I don't think it's shoehorned in considering the puzzles in it.

There is no ruling. If you want to vote for it in this category, do so. The definition is up to you.

Yeah I saw Myst. It's really the closest thing to a Point and click anyone has suggested. But even then I'd say it's more a puzzle game than a P&C.

Does Resident Evil count then?
