Directions unclear; I dug into my Lucasarts collection and pulled out Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

True point-and-click horror. :P You point your gun at zombies and click the B button to solve the “How do I kill this zombie?” puzzle over and over again.

"The sniper, for fans of point and click adventure games. Though, to be fair, the only puzzle is USE gun ON man".

Would Calling on the Wii count for point and click? You walk around first-person in a 3D environment but your puzzle solving is all first-person clicking-on-things-until-something-happens type of gameplay.

Hmm... it's an odd ball, but I don't oppose it. We'll consider it an attempt at innovation on the genre.
