Best Shooter on Xbox, Nominees

The shooter subgenre covers a few different types of action games. First-person shooters, light-gun games, and arcade-style flight combat games all fall under this category. Here are the nominees for the 2002 Best Shooter on Xbox award:

MechAssault

Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Day 1 Studios
Check latest prices »

If you're going to buy one game with your Xbox Live starter kit, MechAssault is the one to get.

Serious Sam

Publisher: Gotham Games
Developer: Croteam
Check latest prices »

The Xbox version retains the original games' off-the-chart intensity levels, and Serious Sam--which was always an arcade game at heart--feels right at home on Microsoft's powerful console.

TimeSplitters 2

Publisher: Eidos Interactive
Developer: Free Radical Design
Check latest prices »

TimeSplitters 2 may very well be the best split-screen multiplayer-focused first-person shooter ever created.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon

Publisher: Ubi Soft
Developer: Red Storm Entertainment
Check latest prices »

Ghost Recon makes excellent use of the Xbox Live service, giving it replay value well beyond that of its PC counterpart.

Unreal Championship

Publisher: Infogrames
Developer: Digital Extremes
Check latest prices »

Unreal Championship is a great game that is filled with action-packed, bloody shoot-outs that are especially fun online, but it lacks polish in a few spots.
