It may be a stretch but Spyro, Tomb Raider and Portal may scratch that itch it thier own ways. Rad Rodgers is a side scroller 3D shooter and anything in the Contra style is going to be madness. The old Skylander games depending on the characters you used could be played as shooters I suppose.
Comment on What are some 3D platformer/3rd person shooter hybrids aside from the Ratchet and Jak series?

Journey to the savage planet is a very recent game that ties those two genres together. There is a lot of platforming to do and you eventually unlock more equipment, such as the grappling hook and a limited booster jet, that further improve how you traverse the environment. Unfortunately the shooter part is kinda basic from beginning to end, but if you liked Ratchet & Clank, you’ll be okay with it.
Aoife from that one, I don’t remember other games that try to blend platforming with shooter. In Psychonauts you shoot psychic beams, but maybe that’s a bit of a stretch.

I came here to comment Psychonauts (both of them), cause those are the games that popped into my mind when I was reading the post.
I’d say they’re good recommendations for this game type. I’d also argue that aside from punching, your main attack is your Psi Blast.
