"Phantasmagoria 1 and 2, but they both suck. "

Come now, they weren't half bad. Admittedly, the first part of the series was overhyped and badly made (though still quite enjoyable, in my opinion), but the sequel, though cheesy in places, was far superior and a good game in general. Lots of atmosphere, though "The X-Files: The Game" improves on almost every possible aspect of "Phantasmagoria 2". Maybe it's just nostalgia (believe it or not, I played the Phantasmagoria series as a nine-year-old kid), but I'd still recommend them to the original poster. Be warned, however, that FMV games are almost uniformly of a bygone age; today, they are deemed far from profitable and are very rarely produced. "Phantasmagoria", for example, was made in '95 and it's sequel in '97.

Though it's an equally old game, I wholeheartedly recommend "The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery". The interface differs greatly from the one found in "The X-Files", but the game itself is excellent (it is generally considered the best FMV adventure game).

As a previous poster mentioned, the old American Laser Games releases (Mad Dog McCree and its sequel, The Last Bounty Hunter, Who Shot Johnny Rock?, Crime Patrol) are the way to go if you're looking for FMV shooting games. I personally loved them as a kid and I don't think any other company has made similar games. By the way, the shooting itself is quite akin to the shootout sequences in "The X-Files". Only there's much more of them ;).

I also heard "The 7th Guest" (1992) was good, as is, supposedly the Tex Murphy series and "Black Dahlia" (1998). I highly doubt if there are many others worth mentioning. Hope this helped, though.
