I myself loved FEAR. I was never huge on FPS but loved horror genre games, which got me to try out FEAR in the first place. When I did play it I was surprised at how good it was. It had parts to surprise you but more importantly it combined sounds, low lighting, and eerie atmospheres to get you on your guard so that when something DID happen it was a lot more of a shock than it would have been without the build up.

Granted that the third expansion of the PC series (which was Perseus Mandate) was an epic failure in my opinion for the fact that they focused on the FPS portion on the game and less on horror aspect, which is what made FEAR unique,:? but the game FEAR and the Extraction Point expansion were both great in my opinion. Sure FEAR isn't on the same level as the Fatal Frame games (I haven't found a game that is) but all in all I think its a fun FPS with a twist of horror to make it interesting.

Looking forward to Project Origin and can't wait to play it:)
