Shadow Ops: Red Mercury

Man, this is one intense shooter. Right from the start they have bullets and bombs flying everywhere. It also has a great movie like feel to it. I have to give Atari credit for trying even though the game needs more work. Overall graphics are pretty darn good. There are problems with frame rate and hit detection. The jungle levels are my favorite but there is slow down. Some of the bad guys are smart and shoot from cover while others run into the open. I also found some major bugs that should never had made it though testing. Even with its flaws I still loved it and I'm playing through on each difficulty level. Which is more than I can say for most games I have. If you love FPS there's no reason not to own it.
