Normally my 'finding really obscure stuff via google' skills are second to none but this time im stumped.

Im looking for a fps from possibly late 90s to early 00s. Im pretty certain it was on pc, theres a very very slim chance it was on original xbox. Your a cop or something and in the opening of the game your child son is taken by robots in a sewer or similar. The last boss in the game is your sons head in a cyborg that says 'daddy' a lot as you defeat it.

There was another boss fight with like a tv show star in a neon disco like room with lighted tile flooring, he does like a blurry dash attack.

The aiming system was like timesplitters 2 (pain in the arse). The winners of the game show went to liberty which was supposed to be like an upper class living area but were in fact being stuck into like a giant computer.

Lots to go by but i couldn't find a bloody thing, and its driving my borderline ocd mental.

Please help Smile

I don't know your game but this sounds exactly like a boss fight from Alpha Protocol Laughing

It sounds like prey with a few details changed.

cop = indian
robots = aliens
boss = sister

Try sorting by date with this list, it helped someone else a few weeks ago find what they were looking for.

Good idea but if it is some obscure Eastern European thing it might not be there.

One way i tried to find it was by the strange aiming system used as in timesplitters 2 as i mentioned. Was hoping it had a name to which i could then search other games with it.

Its even hard even to describe not least because its been well over a decade since i played either game.

I haven't played the sequel, but the first Headhunter is fantastic. A Dreamcast classic, open world third-person shooter with a really creepy story Very Happy

looking for one game, pretty old i think before 2007 maybe, it was an rpg scifi and i remember the camera was disastrous, something like nwn2, you could play it in isometric or 3rd person and i think you moved by clicking on the ground (not sure about this). Also first level was with some buildings/warehouses and it was raining i think.
