My list of shooting games is fast becoming formidable. This is definitely my favorite genre now and I’m now completely obsessed with owning all of the best shooters out there. There are a few that I am considering:

1. Dead To Rights (http://www.deadtorights.com/) ~ this is going to be re-released for about 20 bucks as a “classic” of shooters and is said to be similar to Max Payne. They’re also porting it to PC, but I think I want the Xbox version of this.
2. Mafia (http://www.mafia-game.com/) ~ said to be like Vice City, only in the 1930s. Will be on console soon, but I’d rather have PC version.
3. No One Lives Forever 2 (http://nolf2.sierra.com/) ~ this is only for PC right now. I wasn’t that impressed by the first NOLF on PS2, but I’m thinking that the PC sequel will have much better graphics.

So those are the three I’m looking at right now. Any suggestions? Here’s what I own already:

Ghost Recon
Halo
Splinter Cell
007 Nightfire
The Thing
Hitman 2

PS2:

PC:

RTCW Tides of War
Medal Of Honor Allied Assault / Spearhead
Battlefield 1942 / Road To Rome

Well, I do now that I've spent it all on games and platforms!!

cr3am, I heard that Dead To Rights is way under-rated. Why do you say it's terrible? I've been told that the graphics and gameplay are great.

It's too frustrating and repetetive. Just as a hint to how hard it is, I put on all weapons cheat, full ammo, and I couldn't even get past all the levels.

DEFINITELY rent it first.
