 Some might confuse this category with stealthy games like the Splinter Cell series. Those games focus on not getting caught, whereas a great espionage-themed first-person shooter is all about the guns and gizmos. If you don't open up with the occasional hail of bullets, it's hard to call this a first-person shooter.
There are newer games out there, but none have yet matched the combination of fast-paced action and the wry humor of heroine Cate Archer, in No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way. This game is still sharp-looking and entertaining, and while it lacks the latest graphical bells and whistles, it will run on most machines and no longer costs a pretty penny to acquire. |

| The game manages to find that perfect mid-point, balancing the humor of The Avengers, the camp of The Man from U.N.C.L.E, the suavity of Bond and the world-ending plot that ties together every thriller from Austin Powers to The Day of the Jackal. And it does so with an Emma Peel-esque spy who has to work just as hard to save the world from ninjas as she does to thwart a mob of mimes intent on manslaughter. |

 Some of the humor may be a touch risqué for younger gamers (it bears an ELSPA rating of 18 and an ESRB that can make Cate Archer invulnerable. That’s a great way to experience the thrill of a shooter and the storyline without the fear of hot-lead-induced failure. |
