MGS hardly counts as a 3rd person shooter, same with Uncharted. They just have shooting mechanics, and Mass Effect also falls under this category. All 3 being some of the best games of all times :3
While Resident Evil is debateable. I will need to go with 4 onward since they practically are 3rd person shooters now.
Gears of War is also up there thanks to its mind blowing multiplayer.
I think people are just throwing 3rd person games that shouldn't exactly be classified that as they are games with heavy shooter elements, but not the core experience of the game.
