Here are three "passable" first person shooters for the summer.  The reviews for Shadowrun is meh, I played the Hour Of Victory demo and that was meh, and Call Of Juarez seems to be like a Gun FPS it's also meh.  So out of the these three FPS games, which one is worth the money and is overall better?

Well, I haven't played Shadowrun or Call of Juarez, but I plan to buy Shadowrun after i get home next week (I am on vacation currently). As for Hour of Victory...that demo was one of the most terrible shooters, if not games, I have ever played. I have no clue about Call of Juarez, but I don't expect it to be amazing. If you have Xbox Live, it looks like Shadowrun might be worth the money the most, though The Darkness at the end of the month could certainly take that crown, as well.

I will go with Call of Juarez due to the lack of westerns - something different even if it isn't great.

hour of victory sucks, no need to even rent it unless ur really bored

shadowrun just isnt worth it, only multiplayer and no single player

call of jaurez looks fun, but not a killer app in any way.  IMO there arent enough western themed games out there.

I own Shadowrun, and I've played demos for the other two, and Shadowrun is much better than either of the games so long as you like online teamplay.

They are all kind of 'meh' games but out of all of them the only one that is really standing out is Call of Juarez.  Good news is though we have 'The Darkness' coming at the end of this month.

CoJ is no masterpiece, but it's 100,000 x's better than that Hour of Victory Demo I played.

Call of Juarez was really fun, on the PC. Though for me the game was alot about sharpshooting (not very necessary, just alot more fun) wich, imo, is hopeless with a clumsy gamepad.

Have read alot of comments about Hour of Victory and not one of them had anything positive to say about it. Must really suck then I guess :P

I understand in Juarez you almost get a BJ and one level you hit the fire button to quote scripture to NPCs.  So maybe I should give it another shot.  But Shadowrun is da' bomb.

why would you play hour of victory when you still have great games like call of duty 2 that was a release title but alot of people still play everyday shadowrun seems like a game that you can't really get into like a battlefield2(console version) with no variety call of juarez, because gun sucked

"Here are three "passable" first person shooters for the summer."

 

I find that very funny. Hour of Victory is wayyyy below passable. That piece of crap is such a joke it disgusts me. 've never played shadowrun, or the other (is it even out), so I can't say for those. Just NOT HoV.
