Forge is a PVP team-combat game, basically the end-state of many MMOs without the level grind to make it to that end-state content. It uses many similar character/class/skill tropes found in MMO games. The combat is action oriented, more like Team Fortress 2. It doesn't rely on "tab targeting" as many other MMOs do. The player must stay active and engaged in the combat to be successful.
Enter The Matrix casts the player as Niobe or Ghost, captain and first mate of the rebel ship Logos, respectively. Niobe is a master combatant, capable of beating up everyone in her way. She is an excellent pilot, both in the real world and in the Matrix. Ghost is very adept at firearms, and his marksmanship is a mastery. Both characters are very athletic, and throughout the game the player will have to walk, run, jump, strafe, peek, run on walls, climb ladders and pipes, and fight various enemies.
MDK2 is a video game and sequel to the third-person shooter, MDK. Like the original, MDK2 features three protagonists: Kurt Hectic, an ordinary janitor and reluctant hero, Max, a mechanical six-legged dog, and Doctor Fluke Hawkins, Max's creator and all-round eccentric scientist. Unlike in the first game, the player is put in control of all three characters in turns, with each delivering significantly different gameplay and puzzle experiences (Kurt - sniping, Max - "run and gun", Dr. Hawkins - strategy).

Max Payne 3, the third title in the Max Payne franchise, is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its titular character, Max Payne. The game features the over-the-shoulder zoom aiming and cover mechanics. However, these just serve as garnish to the game's classic run-and-gun shooting. Max Payne 3 also marks the return of bullet-time in action sequences, which the franchise is notable for. In bullet-time it is possible to see every bullet make a hole in your foes.

Deep Black is a third-person shooter where most of the action takes place underwater; the "Reloaded" part means "contains PC-exclusive features" namely Nvidia 3DVision and Razer Hydra support.
Besides regular weapons and an auto-cover system which work similarly in and out of the water, your character can use the submarine equivalent of a jetpack to "sprint" and fight currents, and a harpoon to activate switches or perform silent kills. Some close encounters are settled through button-mashing.
