    I remember playing these kind of game long time ago (it was fun). the last time I played was House of The Dead III, which was 3 years ago. Maybe it's not everybody's favorite game. I'm wondering is there any new game on this genre on PC?

    You mean shooter-on-rails? I don't think there's a very big market for those things. But if you mean action-horror, you can try Resident Evil 4 (although I strongly suggest you play with a gamepad).

    Shooter-on-rails? I guess that's what I mean. Point-and-shoot kind of game. Yeah, I believe not a lot of people like to play this genre on PC.
    Time crisis managed to make it to 4th series in PS3. I guess it's more fun shooting with gamecon than mouse.

    As for resident evil 4, I played it already and with game pad (I'm half console player :), can't live without gamepad :p

    I believe that kind of game now have its best environment in the Nintendo Wii. Resident Evil 4 was a hoot with it, and the games with the wii zapper are supposed to be very good in this genre.

    Was there a time crisis port for the PC? If there is it's worth a look.
