F.E.A.R. 3

This game alone beats every modern released games.

But still a very solid shooter.

Sometimes you really do play a game that turns out to be just a little bit more then meets the eye. F.3.A.R. is definitely one of these games. At first glance, it really does look like just another current generation FPS title that takes up so much of the space on shelves these days. But if you actually spend some time with it, it turns out to be something of a unique take on the mechanics side of that coin. I wouldn’t recommend this one for everyone, but if you are a fan of faster paced and tactics based FPS games, it’s definitely worth your time to give it a shot. If you have been with the family since the start of this story, then you definitely need to get your hands on this one. Few games have this satisfying an ending… and even less trilogies of games.

It is not as good as the first F.E.A.R., but it is still an enjoyable experience. It's going more in the direction of action, and less in the direction of horror. The first installment had a better balance in that regard. The selection of weapons was fine, I didn't notice anything lacking -- though would have preferred to have the armor-piercing rifle a little more often. I liked the idea of achievement/challenges, but I also noticed that trying to collect them quickly became a distraction of the main game, i.e. you were just trying to do all the tricks to get the points. Especially since you had to do them all again in each interval. Probably would have been better as cumulative achievements. I'm also not sure if there was a plot hole or whether I just missed some of the story, but in the suburb level (interval 4?) the plot focus became to "save the woman", and I had no idea who it was, or why it was brought up in the first place. Later cutscenes made it clearer.

This game is so fun. You should be playing it right now, you smug person, you.
