I was debating what to put for the fourth option, but really, Metal Gear Solid IV is an action game. I mean, they force you to shoot in Acts IV and V for crying out loud!

Anyway, you can't top Resident Evil 5. It's too awesome.

Well, from the amount of time I played it, Gears was insanely fun so I'll go with that.

Gears of war "1" for me so far--but I haven't played Resident Evil 5 yet though.

I liked uncharted the most overall. But Gears of War has the best third person shooter feeling/mechanics.

Well you can play MGS4 without killing anyone, so I don't really think is belongs in the TPS/Action genre.

But eh, it gets my vote for overall action game, but for core TPS gameplay, I'd pick Gears of War.

I've had the most fun with Gears of War and RE5, but that's most likely due to co-op. They aren't bad games to play alone, but co-op games, to me, are twice as fun as single player.

Gears IMO, it really brought third person back into the mix.

MGS4 by far. No argument to that, anyone who voted for Gears clearly has never played a MGS game.

MGS4 is an absolutely amazing game, definitely one of my favorite games. The reason I did not vote for MGS4 was because, in terms of being a solid TPS game, I just don't think the TPS is quite as solid as some other candidates, like Gears of War, or Dead Space (What I voted for).

You can play MGS as first person all the way through though :P

Also MGS is tactical espionage action, it's special heh.

I'm not sure, MGS4 or GTAIV...

Or they don't like MGS. Seriously not everyone has to like the same games that you do, and I didn't vote for gears of war.

I second Dead Space. One of the best EA games in years and years,

Wouldn't really consider it an action game, like the rest of them.

I was blown away with Gears of War 1 when it first came out. The gameplay was addicting and the graphics were amazing.
