The best shooter games like Resistance Fall of Man are Resistance 3, Ratchet and Clank and Half-Life 2. Below are 9, each with the reason it is here — and, at the end, what filtering to shooter costs you.
Filtering to shooter means you want the guns to be the answer. It is the right filter when what you liked was the feedback — the sound, the recoil, the way enemies react.
What you get: Moment-to-moment feel, and the shortest distance between picking a game up and enjoying it.

Each pick says. Several of the best shooters ever made are single-player campaigns, and a few of the co-op ones are genuinely worse with bots.
By hand. Each pick was written for the full Resistance Fall of Man list first, on what the game actually does, and this page is the part of that list that is shooter — never a genre tag lookup, which is how "best racing games like Super Mario 64" used to be a page on this site.
