Third person computer games cover a wide, yet somewhat vague style of games. Different from first person games where you're looking through the eyes of the main character. Third person games are somewhat back and offset from the main character thus giving you a third person point of view. A good number of games have both first and third person gameplay features. For the most part this list includes true third person games, but may include some with both options of gameplay available.
