In Project Origin you take the role of Michael Beckett, part of a Delta commando unit sent to the city of Auburn following the dramatic finale of the original F.E.A.R. As a member of this specialist team you have your own unique ability to slow time, which proves essential during some encounters. To say Auburn is now a neighbourhood you wouldn't want to hang around at any time of the day is an understatement. The city has been ripped apart by the paranormal rage of Alma and is in ruins, with plenty of gore on the agenda. Law and order is no more, with urban fighting commonplace, the city gripped by a sense of fear. Your squad must somehow survive the paranormal and rudimentary enemies, whilst investigating the phenomenon and trying to find a way to stop Alma. That's if she can be stopped at all?
Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Bloody Disgusting goes back to see Alma ten years on from the launch of the sequel.
This game honestly killed all my interest in the franchise, I loved 1 and its expansions (even though they're technically non-canon now) but the sequel was such a let down.
First-Person Shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays and it’s a struggle to really find one that stands out and separates itself from the genre. This can be a double-edged sword, as a FPS that brings something new to the table can often unintentionally have that new thing staying at the table forever. But what if that game managed to capture a concept so well that not even its successors could manage to tap into its perfect blend of creative design? Let’s say they decided to mix genres: ones that had been mixed before, but managed to do something that hadn’t been done before. Could it be possible that a studio managed to make a sort of lightning in a bottle for FPS’s, something so good that there may not be anything quite like it for over a decade after it came out? Well, that DID happen, and that game’s name was F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon.
its been almost exactly 4 years since F.3.A.R. its a great series that needs a comeback.
The first one still holds up well to this day. Hope to see another one on current gen ;)
Hardcore Gamer: GOG has made its name as the place to go for DRM-free gaming. Now, the company has added a number of games from the Warner Bros. Interactive library to its lineup of available games.
Had great A.I but that was the only impressive thing about it. It was a bad port for the ps3. As all ported games where in the beginning.
