I'll third Vanquish. Extremely fun, hectic and fast paced action game. It's a Third-Person Shooter at heart, mind you, but it's incredibly fun.
Also, Sam Gideon's a boss.

If you don't mind slightly outdated graphics, you can go look up Oni. An action/shooter/brawler inspired by anime Ghost in the Shell.
It's fucking amazing, and blends gunplay and unarmed pretty nicely together.

Yeah, God Hand is one of my favorite games of all time. Thanks for bringing it up. And just to add a tad more context to the post, I'm looking for a game with good adventure and combat, well intertwined. So not based entirely around the combat, but what is there is strong.Freaky Lou said:
Read no further, play Flashback: The Quest for Identity.
If you like Uncharted this is basically the precursor to it, back in the day this was amazingly animated and had full cutscenes in the age of cartridges. Infact on the Genesis/Mega Drive box it brags "The CD on a cartridge" and it's a damn good port.
You run, jump, climb and shoot, you get more gear as you go and it's an insanely fun game. The controls are a bit of a thing to learn but it's amazing and the precursor to uncharted in ways I'd say...as someone who also enjoys the Uncharted games.

Like others, I will also recommend Vanquish.
I'll also put up Mirror's Edge, because the game, sadly, didn't sell too well.
Most of my recommendations come from 6th gen games, so they may not be what you're looking for.
Viewtiful Joe
Metal Arms: A Glitch in the System
Rayman 3
Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Otogi 1 and 2
Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Blood Will Tell
Skygunner
Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands (the Wii version. Surprisingly good. Liked it better than the HD one)
The Jak and Daxter series
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Panzer Dragoon Orta
The James Bond sixth gen games
that should keep you busy for a while
