if you thought every good idea has been
rebooted and you may have never heard of
these
I came to were even grandfather you know
I don’t go for that shit
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten forgotten first-person shooters for
this list we’re looking at games that
didn’t really get the recognition they
deserved in sales or have since been
forgotten in time amidst more iconic
franchises USA is dominate I enjoy
number 10
Star Wars Republic Commando blue squad
out we don’t wanna lose any time soon
Star Wars games have been a mixed bag
when it comes to popularity and this one
wasn’t possibly due to its conspicuous
lack of Jedi or due to the fact that it
was a spinoff of Attack of the Clones
it certainly wasn’t due to the excellent
and fast-paced tactical gameplay which
put you in control of the Delta Squad a
team of elite clone troopers take
offense of phonation Roger burg as much
fun as it is to use the Force this game
proved that you didn’t need lightsabers
to have a sweet Star Wars experience
with awesome guns like the DC 17
interchangeable weapon system proved
number nine Bulletstorm
40 airlock Safety’s for leaks
third bounty-hunter this week this game
didn’t sell particularly well but we
know better than to trust the opinions
of the general public
too much any booze left on this ship
nobody but there is grape entering the
store eBay developer people can fly was
so open about marketing this
unconventional shooter as the antithesis
to Call of Duty that they made a
hilarious parody game called duty calls
to help promote their game or a breakup
Master Sergeant shooter person but
unfortunately most gamers were
uninterested in appending the status quo
and they missed out as the game’s vulgar
humor was peerless and the skill shot
system rewarded our violent creativity
and gave you legitimate reasons to play
through multiple times number 8 Clive
Barker’s undying I saw their leader
holding a stream stone over his head
Yellin weird words in a strange tongue
the titular artist who designed this
game and voiced the character Ambrose is
a best-selling horror novelist but
apparently his name didn’t carry too
much clout into the gaming world this
family’s had so much tragedy way ahead
of its time you do a lot more than shoot
like use cool spells like scribe which
allows you to see things that are either
invisible or took place in the past
you’ll also need whatever help you can
get because the terrifying story has you
fights supernatural powers like the evil
undying king this house still hides many
secrets I’m counting on you to reveal
them and put an end to this mess number
seven
pray worst Indian casino
ever this unique shooter brought
innovation into a genre that gets
accused of being stale unfortunately as
this game’s lack of staying power proved
most people prefer their shooters
tried-and-true oh my god no noise that’s
too bad for them because prey was
thinking with portals long before portal
was ever thought up that’s so weird
not only did it contain reality bending
effects but the spirit walk mechanic and
the lack of true in-game death meant
there was a lot of fresh ideas packed
into what seemed like a very generic
shooter on the surface number 6 Shogo
mobile armored division Shogo was an
anime influenced shooter that had you
running around both on foot and in a
giant mech with both controlling almost
identically it’s a shame it wasn’t more
of a hit because on top of the
beautifully looking visuals there really
wasn’t anything else out there that let
you stomp around a city in a giant robot
and still feel fast and fluid while you
did it maybe the art style didn’t
resonate with Western gamers but who
doesn’t like blowing stuff up in giant
robots that never goes out of style
number five sin this futuristic cop game
brought a host of features to the table
that were uncommon for the time such as
nonlinear gameplay highly interactive
environments and the potential to knock
an enemy’s gun from his hand it also
brought in a lot of stuff we consider to
be Jarrah tropes today turret sections
the voice in your head NPC telling you
where to go and unique death animations
JC can you open that thing I’m working
on a blade sin had the unfortunate fate
of being released at the same time as
halflife and unfortunately the realistic
tone it did so well was overshadowed
considerably by its harsh competition
number 4 kingpin life of crime in
recession next up is another game that
was unlucky with its release date the
violent shooter with a dystopian setting
hit the shelves soon after the Columbine
shooting and a lot of politicians and
lobbyists jumped on it due to its
graphic and vulgar nature once the
mother can count leading to it not even
actually hitting the shelves at certain
retailers what the fuck you doing back
here it’s not like kingpin didn’t
deserve its reputation though turn the
fuck around
it really was violent as was one of the
first games to feature fully voiced
f-bombs and had a real-world setting
that was begging for controversy well
mission accomplished
kikyo an asset a poison bug yeah number
three
Tron 2.0 now that you’ve been digitized
you can think of me as your tour guide
to the world inside the computer until
Tron Legacy came out this was the only
sequel to the cult flick and it’s so
good that we would have been fine having
the franchise just in there but just
like the original film the sales were
poor this game almost had too many cool
ideas to list the disc throwing combat
the light cycle races the wicked weapon
animations everything was new and fresh
for the genre plus being set inside a
computer offered some really cool
scenarios like when you have to run from
a slowly advancing wall of destruction
as the hard drive that you find yourself
on is being formatted Oh certainly sorry
just a few more moments number 2 blood
I’ll be first to admit it this game gave
me the creeps
hey hey true to its name it features
plenty of violence but it’s how you
enact said violence that was the most
noteworthy instead of just your standard
pistol shotgun machine gun bag of
weapons
you also had a pitchfork for stabbing
flare gun for lighting dudes on fire and
a voodoo doll for enacting otherworldly
pain blood was freaky weird and more
violent than almost anything we’d ever
seen before
permanently scarring our tender brains
for years to come Oh totem spot before
we get to our number 1 let’s take a look
at some honorable mentions
show yourself
number one no one lives forever – a spy
in harm’s way if I’m not back in an hour
clear out in to contact headquarters
despite the title sharp wit it
unfortunately doesn’t get the respect it
deserves
it parodies classic secret agent films
and appends the formula by featuring a
female protagonist the beautiful super
spy Kate Archer
wish me luck a super spy named Archer
who’d have thought she has to stop a
group of criminals known as har M for
harm and like any good spy movie you’ll
travel the globe go to exotic locations
and use a ton of cool gadgets along the
way say hello to the Mach 7 recognized
my number you may play as a woman but
honestly this is the closest thing to a
good James Bond game as we’ve ever seen
and that includes a certain n64 classic
I need a drink chances are there’s a gem
of a first-person shooter that we don’t
know about so let us know which diamonds
in the rough we should be looking out
for
and for more underrated top 10s
