Third Person Shooters

[BALISTX]

I've been out of the loop when it comes to the third person shooters. The last TPS I played was SOCOM US Navy Seals for PS2. I know people are going to say FPS are better but I prefer to see where my character moves in a game. I've been playing RPG's for last few years.

I saw Lost Planet and it looks amazing but with the system I'm building I doubt I will be able to run it with the settings maxed. So does anyone know of some good current TPS games?

My system specs are as follows:

Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 @ 2.0GHz (Goal is to get it to 3.0GHz)
2GB Mushkin HP2-6400 DDR800
XFX GeForce 7900 GS Extreme Edition 256MB GDDR3 256-bit
250GB Seagate SATA
Samsung DVD-+RW
Corsair VX500 Watt

max payne 1 and 2 were both extremely fun in my opinion, sometimes confusing though.

sven co-op (hl1 coop mod) also has the option to play it in third person (but its not that great)

if i remember any more games that are third person, ill give yea a holler.

Hitman: Blood Money
Superb game. I've played Hitman since the first game (its release was overshadowed by its obscene difficulty and by Max Payne) and Blood Money is a gigantic leap forward in the franchise. There won't be another sequel for some time as the IO Interactive development team responsible for the Hitman franchise, which is a very small team, is currently busy with Kane & Lynch.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2
I honestly really hate the new Ghost Recon "sequels" because they've strayed so incredibly far from their stealth & penetration roots of 2001. However, to the general public, the new Ghost Recon games (a.k.a. Advanced Warfighter) seem to be very well received.

Splinter Cell and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Both are the best-executed installments of the franchise. Chaos Theory is highly recommended as it will also allow co-operative play and the game mechanics are top-notch.

you can play all half-life games (1 @ 2) in third person. Just type in the console ` thirdperson.
