A handful of games have the option... the third Thief game allows you to switch between FP and TP - I think the console version may even default to TP whilst the PC version defaults to FP.

The ingame console for other shooters usually gets you third-person. The Unreal series is usually "behindview 1". The Half-Life series is through something like "cl_thirdperson 1". Both demonstrate why the games are far better in FP mode, especially as the camera is fixed in a place that makes aiming pretty impossible.
