Split-screen.com: "Monolith Productions, veteran FPS developers who's works range from the anime mech-inspired Shogo: Mobile Armour Division and spy spoof/psychedelic 70's actioner No One Lives Forever, developed a title with enough action to 'make the player feel like they are an action movie hero' and enough horror to 'get under his skin'. Add to that a real-time shadow and lighting system to tank 2005's PC architecture and artificial intelligence advanced enough to give the Marines of Half-Life nightmares. The result? The intense and eloquently named, F.E.A.R. That it has a full form elevates it even higher from the 'most typical name for a horror game' category."
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.
Not to mention they made the seminal Tron 2.0.
dont tell me this a one of those stupid things where a new game is added a day so u would have wait for a while for #1
Good choice.
If Halo is on this list...I'm not going to continue.
I'm so tired of Halo getting the credit that Tribes deserves. It's just not cool.
So that's number 10. Where's number 9 to 1?? haha my first thought was wow, this site really knows how to milk us for hits. Number 9 will be posted in a couple of days and so on.
F.E.A.R. is a excellent choice.
The ones I would like to see would be
Halo 1-Halo 2 and Halo 3 were good, but Halo 1 is what set the new bar for that generation.
Killzone 2-I know it’s still new but it had some incredible moments and set a new bar for this generation…for now anyway.
Rise of the Triad-I don’t know how many people played this one, I think it came out back in 1994 was amazing back in the day.
Half Life & Half Life 2-Both great FPS games that also featured many expansions.
But of course the ones that I like and what other people like are going to be different.
