What ever happened to cool "blow sh1t up" games with mindless violence?? Suggestions please!

[slackerinabox]

So I just picked up Max Payne 2- I'm not a big gamer but it was on sale and I never turn down a good FPS... I'm in the middle of studying and decided to take a break and try it out... I got lost jumping from window to window after spending 20 minutes watching a movie! grr! Don't get me wrong, it's all so very cinematic but whatever happened to just "blowing sh1t up?" Any good games out there that don't make you sit through cut scenes every 5 minutes of action and don't force you to navigate mazes???

Gunbound - not a fps but the entire game is blowing stuff up.

Serious Sam.

No, the Angry Mother's Commission determined that mindless distractions like that cause mass murders in high schools.

Serious Sam- liked that game.. Very old school though... Any newer, good 1 person fps? I rarely have more than 20 min at a time to game so I can't get into online gaming or long narrative games like max payne (also, i'm aware that max payne is more 3rd person than fp...)

Manhunt on the PS2, already banned in a few countries.

That is what I play when I got a taste for mindless violence.

Never got into CS.. I remember picking up a tactical game and having to spend hours learning how to aim properly, how to walk very slowly like, how to.. blah blah blah.. It felt like I was in a college lecture... Don't get me wrong- I understand that those games are very rich and rewarding.. I just have so little time in a day that games for me have to be pure entertainment and can't have a steep learning curve... Maybe when I'm retired i'll pick up an xbox7 and some of those Tom Clancy games...

You know, I got bored of GTA3 and V.C. (for pc) pretty quickly.. I should dig up my install cds and give it a go again though.. any other suggestions? Still great games mind you, just would like some other choices (I'm selling MaxPayne on ebay - I'll just watch L.A. Confidential if I want a police drama)

I can't wait for some news editor to blame the next plastic-bag murder on Manhunt.

There's Serious Sam 2... and you can always break out Doom in preperations for the third coming

It'll happen, just give it a little time. I'll take this theory even further; the game publisher will be sued.
