F.E.A.R.

Microsoft continued its barrage of Xbox Live Marketplace content over the past few days, uploading days four, five, and six of its Bringing It Home promotion, coinciding with the 2006 Tokyo Game Show and its own X06, which begins Wednesday.

Saturday and Sunday were dominated with Tokyo Game Show-related material for the Japanese market, including several videos of TGS footage from the show floor, interviews with developers, and impressions from gamers. Japan also got an exclusive trailer of AQ Interactive's action game Vampire's Rain.

Non-Japan-exclusive content included wrap-up videos from each day of TGS and trailers from Virtua Tennis 3, NBA Live 07, NHL 2K7, and Forza 2 (which also debuted a dashboard theme).

Today, with the doors closed on TGS, Microsoft was able to get back to one of its specialties--first-person shooters. The much-anticipated demo for Sierra Entertainment's F.E.A.R. was released today, weighing in at 542MB. The single-player sample lets gamers try out the sci-fi shooter before the game comes out in early November.

On the trailer side of things, new videos for Battlestations: Midway, Eragon, Import Tuner Challenge, Need for Speed Carbon, and The Darkness were released. Those looking for new gamerpics will find picture packs available for Battlestar Galactica and Mass Effect (pictured), the latter of which is free.

More content will be added each day of the Bringing It Home promo, which ends on September 29.

    FEAR is really good, but won't sell the system like Gears or R6 will.

    No, I dont think FEAR will drive system sales, the game is good, but i was dissapointed, they didnt seem to change anything from the pc version, and the graphics did not look as crisp as on pc ( i have an upgraded pc, but still the graphics seemed light for a 360 game) Also, I downloaded the demo on the pc before I bought the game on the pc, and the demo on 360 is like the same exact demo, they could have changed somthing in the game, I mean they should not make a whole new game for 360, but they can change it up a litte...

    I like the game

    fear is an OK game. Its not a great game at all. But it is a GOOD game. I just dont think getting a 360 is worth the price of this game.

    Im getting a 360 for.. gears of war, sonic the hedgehog and dead rising... and the possibility of MORE titles like resi 5 and gta 4 on the way..

    The reason im not getting a ps3, is because the ratio of price to games isnt as good as the 360s for me.
    Because the 360 has most of the ps3's games thus far, and im not entirely interested in $600 for mgs4 and virtua fighter 5.. oh yeah, i forgot the Extra $100 for those games too.. (maybe more).

    FEAR is a good game, but i wish these ports would be cheaper, like they are on the pc right now. Its silly porting a game over at full price when its on another platform for like HALF the price.
    Its all well and good having these pc ports on the 360.. but i just think it should stay away from them as being full priced games. thats all.

    I'm REALLY disappointed with this demo. The graphics pale in comparison to the PC version... the lighting effects in the 360 version are like 50% of what they are on my PC, not to mention the fact that the demo is short. Eh, I didn't like the game that much the FIRST go 'round, so I'll wait patiently for HL2 to come out.

    Very good demo even though it gave me motion sickness. That creepy girl scared the crap out of me I had to bust a couple shots at her. The graphics is decent but the concept is cool.

    plays better on the pc, much more fast paced like it was designed to be, at least on the multiplayer side of things. not trying to bash the 360 i like the system and all, i just dont like games that were designed for pc and ported to console and vice versa

    Awesome.

  • usedtype

    Posted Sep 25, 2006 2:51 pm PT

    To really play FEAR, follow these simple points:

    1. Play only at night.
    2. Play in the dark.
    3. Play alone.

    Trust me, if you do this, the game is 10x scarier AND funner.
