Still there. Zelda, Serious Sam. Although I agree that many mainstream games are dropping them in favour of more difficult set pieces (GOW and Halo spring to mind)

@vrex: not sure hunters count, you fight them fairly often.

I agree. I loved having to fight Minion in Twisted Metal but thats still there in that series. I loved that they were there in Bioshock (Peach Wilkens and Sander Cohen). However I agree with everyone else that they tend to be in decline.
