    Well, i really like 3rd person games, and i really like games that have slo-mo, like stranglehold, or max payne.
    Are there any other games that are similar?

    only thing that comes to my mind is Tomb Raider: Anniversary, but you can only do slow-mo during battle sequence.

    if you like slow-mo, you should check out some first person view games, like F.E.A.R and the upcoming game Mirror's Edge, which also incorporates some slow motion style jumping.

    If you have HL2, you could get SMOD Tactical :D

    It's a MOD for HL2.

    It can do 3rd person or 1st person, whichever you choose, has great graphics, and has slow mo.

    Here's the mod if your interested.

    Oh, and I should add, it's probebly my favorite HL2 mod out of all the several hundreds I've played..

    i heard on the pc gamer preview (if i read it right) fallout 3 will have slo-mo during fights (if you chose) where you can chose what you target on your enemy and watch the explosions of blood and gore in slo mo. needless to say im getting it when it is released.

    Well it's not really a slow-mo game, but Combat Arms is a free to download, free to play game, and it's a pretty good one. It's just a suggestion, but personally...I have not really heard of slow-mo games. Only one I can think of was on the Xbox console, called "The Matrix Reloaded" I believe that's the name of it.

    btw, to actually enable 3rd person, and slow mo, you have to go into the console, and type

    disable_bullettime 0

    Then press Z anytime in game to go into slow mo.

    Press F1 for first person, and F2 for third person.
