I don't play many games of this style, but the one that comes to mind is Fatal Frame (and its successors), where you're looking at the character from the side most of the time, except than when she looks in her camera, you go first-person there. I personally find first- and third-person games pretty disorienting, all told; I'd rather see the whole body of the person I'm controlling.

And my 'something else' on the third question is that I like to play video games with lots of people in a room, only where only one of the people has a controller, and the rest of us are talking, giving pointers, and watching the story. But my friends and I play a lot of plot-heavy games, and very few that are primarily shooters.
