Dead on I'll make it here.

They're based around characters viewed from a third person perspective that fight using projectile weapons. In my book that classes them as third person shooters. Ultimately its splitting hairs. Publishers and retailers tend to lump all these games togther in the big action genre treehouse in spite of everything.
I'd be interested to know what comes to your mind when you think of the shooter genre. The purist understanding of the genre is dead as far as im concerned. Gamers generally have dispensed with the light gun favouring the control pad or keyboard and mouse. What we have now is FPS.
