F.E.A.R. (PC)

Quite easily the most terrifying game ever made for the PC. Play this with headphones on and the lights off and I fear for your sanity. From start to finish this is a rollercoaster ride of a game, just begging for a film adaptation. With two sequels planned by different companies, now is the time for anyone who didn't play this when it was first released to buckle themselves in and prepare to be seriously scared. A first person shooter rooted in the supernatural, there are plenty of nervous moments (You'd hurt me if I spoilt them in the review) and excellent artificial intelligence. The soldiers are scarily sensible when it comes to battlefield tactics, whereas some ...  Read the complete review

F.E.A.R is a great buy. Every corner you turn something may just pop out, its always on your mind. The music is used to a stuning effect and the graphics are exremely good. For any 1st person shooter fan F.E.A.R is definatly a must. Even for you older fans who moan about games being to hard to control, this game has easy to learn controls, once your past the practice mission youll know all you need and more! The very clever thing about this game though, is that even if you die, and go back to a checkpoint, you never know what to expect, the gaurds are never in the same place twice, and this just adds to the suspence, will you get out ...  Read the complete review

There are many PC games that claim to be chilling, especially when you are referring towards first-person shoot 'em ups. The list is huge and varied, yet very few of them offer anything more once you play them than a one-trick pony. A good example is the one evidenced by the dissapointing Doom3. Fetch 'n carry tasks, an irritating interface and a yawn-worthy story showed it to be little more than mutton dressed as lamb, no matter how pretty the dress was. F.E.A.R. succeeds by being derivative from the outset, melding the traditional shoot 'em up elements with a slow-mo feature, many well thought-out scripted events and a damn good story to boot. Yes, you're ...  Read the complete review

I am surprised to see that this game always sells for so little, even considering its age. This is one of the best FPSs I have played in a long time. It fuses the survival horror and shooter genres very successfully, the result being an intense, addictive and engrossing game. It is somewhat similar to Half-Life in style, (another Sierra game,) but is much darker with the occassional nod to HL -- The troops say almost exactly the same things over their radios and you may spot an easter egg too! :P Much like Half-Life's Gordon Freeman, FEAR has a silent protagonist. This does not detract from realism in the same way that it did in HL, as the player can hand ...  Read the complete review
