There's obviously no shortage of excellent first person shooters in the market, given the genre's enduring popularity, but at the same time, there's also more than a few games in the group that just got lost in the shuffle. Games that might not have been the best games of their kind, but were still solid, enjoyable shooters that perhaps more people should have tried out. Here, we're going to talk about a few such games.

I bought Syndicate for PC on Amazon yesterday and it's coming in the mail tomorrow. It just looks good. I'm surprised he didn't mention Singularity.

I'd like to add Red Steel 2 to that list. What a great game, weighed down by the baggage of being associated with the "Red Steel" name.

Singularity? Army of two? Hello? I played probably 90% of both list and they are wayyyy offf.

Need a list of 15 reviewers/ urinalist who need to be cancelled.

 

[Quasicat]

It’s a good list, but getting on Titanfall 2 at this point would be a bad idea.

[TintoConCasera]

I would add Bulletstorm to that list. It's great and I don't hear about it too often.

 

[MrA]

I find it offensive that this list has the audacity to imply I didn't play earth defense force 5

Whilst not quite as popular as its first-person counterpart, third-person shooters are still perennially prevalent. Taking the form of an over-the-shoulder, from behind, or from above camera angle, third-person shooters have one over on first-person in that you’ve scope for seeing more of the surrounding environment, offering varying degrees of strategy via anticipation of enemy location.

There’s a seamless blend of action, movement, and fluidity in third-person games, with the best of the genre utilizing environments to mix up gameplay.

Syndicate was awful. One of the worst shooters I played on 360. My buddies and I all agreed. Maybe on PC it was way better, but on 360 it played and looked bad.

Out of all shooters I played that era I dont think any other had so much clutter on screen. There were so many numbers, icons, HUD all juking and janking on screen when all I wanted to do is ADS.
