Syphon Filter (1999)
You can taser enemies in this third-person action shooter. And if you hold the taser long enough, they burst into flames. It’s horrible and hilarious every time. Syphon Filter might not be a franchise people talk about much in 2024, but that original game on PlayStation spent a lot of time in my console because it offered up a fun, tense, and action-packed modern-day shooter about secret agents, deadly viruses, and government corruption. And also, that cool taser thing I mentioned earlier. — Zack Zwiezen
