I liked Condemned: Criminal Origins alot as well! :) Not sure if I'd consider it unknown though.

I'll say Red Ocean, the under-water environment was intriguing (of course this was pre-BioShock). Only played the demo though, I don't think the English version has been released yet. Any one played the full game?

I agree with Condemned: Criminal Origins. It was an awesome game.

I wouldn't say any of the games are unknown, i think you mean under-rated.

KISS Psycho Circus was a lot of fun, a bit tough at times but still a lot of fun. Another one that came out around the same time that was alright, not great, but still fun, was Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.

I'm not sure how "unknown" they were, but the No One lives Forever series was pretty good.I'm going to have to look at Boiling Point,sound (from the review) like a good game.

Wrong i do know that game.

It falls under the worst shooter ever, that one was awful.

However, it had the coolest cutscene when quitting the game

that i have ever seen.

... with a tear in his eye, he turns the shotgun on himself....

boiling point is OK...its deus ex-ish mixed with GTA

lot of upgrade options and 240sq. miles to run around in

XIII is fun...you cant skip cutscenes! lol

and CC:First to Fight is OKAY, its kind of bad and kind of entertaining at the same time

and wow people, you all know what i meant with 'unknown', some of them are unknown some are just underrated, and some are just not that popular

Sniper Elite is awesome, by the way...real long single player, good multiplayer...

for me the best shooters are

Swat 3+4

America's Army

Not exactly unknown but surely underrated.

For me, as you can see, it's all realism, realism, realism. Hated ArmA though.

Chaser! I was quite suprised with this title for what it was worth. I changed the music to music from other games and it changed the experience alot :)

and I liked the XIII demo at the time but sadly never got around to getting the retail version seemed fun though for a kick about

I don't think some1 could have an unknown shooter as a favourite, maybe a less popular one. At any rate a less popular favourite is still a long shot taking great names like HL, FEAR, Farcry etc. into consideration...

Your favorite unknown shooter. That doesn't mean that your favorite shooter of all time is unknown. Its like "your favorite burger joint" doesn't mean that burgers are your favorite food.

Damn, my pix got censored! Hate that...

No shooter is unknown unless it never actually got commercially released, in which case I don't really think it counts anyway. So, just because it's known to you, doesn't make it a well known shooter. Of all the games mentioned in this thread, I think Isle of the Dead is probably the least known, so I win!

Anyway, it wasn't that bad. Granted, I never made it farther then 15 minutes in, but it was good enough for me to remember, partly for the cutscene you mentioned.

Men of Valor

Close Combat: First to Fight

Boiling Point

UberSoldier

Sniper Elite

KISS: Psycho Circus

XIII

Condemned: Criminal Origins

i'd say those are someone non-mainstream, atleast they arent real popular...

Lonelynight

Hows CC: First to Fight, I'm intrested in that game but don't know whether to get it and Men in Valor and Project Snowblind, can any one tell me if this games are good?

i got CC: First to Fight, and its more of an acrade type FPS, but its kidna fun online with Co-Op. Project Snowblind is fun too, but thats more fake, as the weapons are not really realistic. Both games are something you should check out. I dunno crap about Men in Valor tho

Yes quite right, Rise of the Triad is legendary. First game to have dynamic lighting in it.

I'd like to add Bio Menace.

Aye Vietcong is a great game, bloody annoying on Vietnam mode though.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto is also one of my favourite shooters (well at least most of it is a shooter)
