I've heard some European folks refer to certain shooters as "Ego Shooters". Primarily in reference to first-person shooters, but I've since heard it used in reference to non-FPS titles as well.

Ego-Shooter is just the German translation for First Person Shooter. There may also be other ways to say it, but this one seems fairly common.
Most things don't translate perfectly from language to language if you go a single word at a time.
