Darkest of Days is an FPS from 8Monkey Studios, published by Phantom EFX. The game is seperated from the average FPS game by using mainly the Civil War and World War 1 and its settings, two time periods not often depicted in action video games. Sometimes you will use period weapons which are slow and cumbersome, and then you will be granted a modern day weapon with which to cause havoc, which always feels very satisfying.
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is a Western themed shooter from Techland and Ubisoft, and the second game in the Call of Juarez series. You play as one of two brothers, Ray and Thomas, and the other one is computer controlled. Gameplay mainly consists of shooting your way through a bunch of levels that look like sets from A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Command whole squadrons or take control of individual ships and airplanes in this naval action game depicting the US vs. Japan episode of WW2 in the Pacific. Although aimed towards online team-based multiplayer, the game features a story-driven singleplayer campaign (US side) and "challenges" focusing on the control of ships, planes and submarines respectively.
Rise of the Argonauts is a 3rd person action RPG brought to you by Liquid Entertainment (who also made the nice warcraft clone, Battle Realms, in 2001) in the last month of 2008. Throughout the game you will meet other characters who will join you as argonauts. They will stay with you on your ship. When you leave the ship, you can pick who you want to accompany you. This is similar to games like KOTOR and Mass Effect. This game received above average review scores. Some people have complained that the game has way too many dialog and not enough action. I think that's not fair.
TimeShift is a FPS created by Saber Interactive released in 2007. This game is noteable for allowing the player to manipulate time. It also received mostly above average review scores.

Throughout the journey, players combat various different enemies as they attempt to cleanse the land of corruption.
The third Tomb Raider game since Crystal Dynamics took over the series, Tomb Raider: Underword continues from the story line started in Tomb Raider: Legend where it was revealed that Lara's mother may not be dead, but rather trapped in the mythical realm of Avalon (from the King Arthur legend). For the uninitiated, the Tomb Raider series is about lady adventurer Lara Croft, who is intelligent, athletic, infatuated with ancient history, and distractingly busty!
