The shooting mechanics in Borderlands is a bit rough, the guns feel floaty and crosshairs are half baked. So if you take the term shooter literally then Far Cry 3 had a fine variation between its weapons and it could easily be felt and distinguished.
Spec Ops: The Line is a third person shooter, and we nominated it in that category yes :) As for The Darkness II, we try to take the top 5 nominees, and The Darkness II was very low on the pecking order compared to what we nominated.

Also FC3 was dam engaging.
