Well, actually, I know nothing about "smart shooter paradigm". What games are falling into this cathegory? Obvious Deus Exes, System Shocks/Bioshocks and... well, what else?
Yes, I think, HL is shooter in general. Sometimes (like GTA, for example) it's more "action" suited to it than "shooter", bit
in general, yes, it's shooter.
BioShock is different beast. I still didn't played it, but AFAIK, it's "streamlined" System Shock - without free world, but with quite free levels, some puzzles and thick plot inside. It still can be "action-adventure", but can be shooter too, I am not sure. Depends (for me) of amount of streamlining.
