Alex Hilhorst writes, "The original F.E.A.R., or "First Encounter Assault Recon" as its subtitled, may not have innovated the first-person shooter much, but it brought together aspects of various other games and coalesced them into a uniquely enjoyable experience. Survival horror was once a genre that only inhabited the world of third-person, but thanks to games like F.E.A.R. and Condemned, it has started to experiment with the first-person perspective. In a lot of ways, first-person perspective is a much scarier format; it makes you feel like you're actually in the universe of the game. And the F.E.A.R series has taken advantage of this to great effect."

Stephen is out of the hosting seat due to a bad case of imploded hard drive, so Zachary takes up the heavy burden of keeping Bryan and Cameron in line. Mass Effect 2, Assassin’s Creed, and Fthreeear (or F3AR if you hate pronouncing things rightly) are included in Games We Have Been Playing As of Late, during which a plethora of fascinating topics can only be touched upon in the already-lengthy segment. Bring Your Own Topic faces the DV cast with a quandary related to stupidly obvious tutorials, which teaches us that one should always flee from the police. An edition of Games to End All Games wants to know what the greatest sports game ever created is; the answer is Sonic Riders. Lastly, this week’s lineup of new released is relayed with the fiery passion of a raging giraffe. So buckle your seat belts and download Disembodied Voices Episode 28 (NOT Episode 29, despite the absurd statements of the panel)!"
Not sure how I feel about this game. I really enjoyed the first 2 and I know I'll be buying the 3rd on day 1, I just don't find myself being excited for it. Oh well, hopefully it'll catch me by surprise and totally blow me away.
I dont really like the "reinvented" f3ar. It just doesn't seem to get me creeped out like the other two did.
