GameSpot writes: "Do you love horror-themed games but live with the secret shame of turning the volume down low and the lights up high so you can sleep after playing? Day 1 Studios has you covered with a nifty way to share its F.E.A.R. 3 experience without looking like a wuss. Cooperative play will feature prominently in the upcoming first-person shooter, allowing you to buddy up as you take on either the role of Paxton Fettel, or Point Man. F.E.A.R. 3 picks up nine months after the events of F.E.A.R. 2, and right in the firing zone as Alma is about to give birth. Her contractions pepper the game world, and each jolt tears into reality with catastrophic consequences. Our demo included a look at the brothers in action, using their unique abilities to defend each other, power up some new and devastating attacks, and navigate obstacles and hidden content".
DualShockers Writes "F.E.A.R. 3 (or F.3.A.R. if you’re a marketing executive) isn’t a great singleplayer game. It’s fine, competent even, but Day One Studios had an unenviable task in trying to wrap up Monolith’s F.E.A.R. series. With two timelines and two highly different styles of horror attempted in its wake, F.E.A.R. 3, well, it tries its best."
F.E.A.R. 3 wasn't even really a horror game when it came to the campaign. It was a good action game, but lost just about all of its horror roots along the way.
There have plenty of great horror games, but others haven't been so lucky as to stick around. They deserve to get a new lease on life.
That was probably the first time ever that I saw Castlevania in a list of horror games.
ps: Be warned, you have to click a lot to see every game in the list. I stopped after the 4th time.
What is divergent co-op and how could more games benefit from it?
