You know, I think that there could be a game with a sniper or assassin as 
t's
main character.  It would have to push a little into the realm of an RPG, but
just a little.  No conversation or boring chat windows but finding and 
disassembling weapons, sure.  Perhaps having to remember or write down a code 
or some sequence, as opposed to three colored keys/cards.  And perhaps if you 
had money, where you had to buy ammo, as opposed to, "Oh holy monkeys, 
there's a big ___ case of rockets and nobody noticed it sitting here!"
Scopes, flash surpressors, silencers, trigger improvements, glass bedding,
better ammo( armor piercing, larger caliber, explosive tip, tracer), 
better weapons( larger caliber, more options, better sights, more accurate,
heavier) cool gear for hiding, spying and getting in buildings.
I could continue, but really you get the idea.
