Men love to shoot things and blow stuff up. Always have, always will.

Don't forget about all the shmups back in the day, it wasn't just those sidescrollers you named in the original post. FPS pretty much replaced all those other shooting games over the years.

I was trying not to go with SHMUPs because they aren't walking character based, like the other ones I mentioned.  I do think that we have room to bring a lot here in the "FPS" format.  Even Red Dead Redemption has a bit of a throw back to NES action adventure (I think Bionic Commando or Metal Gear).  As of now, everything has gone first-person perspective.  Even third person is like first-person, with the camera further back.
