F.E.A.R (First Encounter Assault Force)
though an aged game, this game will simpily blow your mind away,first note : not for the weak hearted,only got the chance to try the game demo on my com today. surprisingly the physics/shaders/lightning was way ahead of its time. sadly it doesnt support any resolution higher than 1280x 760 :(

One of the special feature of the game was pressing the ctrl key to slow the game movement so that the player is able to perform quick action to evade the gunfire. Its something like need for speed:carbon speedbreaker , where time simpily slows down, and the screen blurs as you move to create the intense atmosphere which happen within a split second.

F.E.A.R elevates first-person shooter combat to cinematic levels. Every now and then the ghostly gal will appear in front of u dripping of blood in a red shirt.giving u warning of proceed no more. In the demo when the gal(named ALMA) first appeared, i gave a smile instead of being frighten by it. Mayb because the gal did not appear as scary as its suppose to be.

F.E.A.R limits the user to only 3 guns. so pick ur guns well, there was some kinda biological laser weapon in the demo, instantly turning the target into skeletons:D and yea it was fun. Most of the units could be taken down with a submachine gun, pistol while the elites wearing heavy armor seems harder to take down, i had to reload my submachine several times to take down one.

caked by my laser HAHAHAA

catching the unknown hehee


Alma draws the main character into a psychological corridor. Note the bleak aura of the corridor and the ceiling made of blood )grabed from wikipedia.com

Near the end of the demo i was in a corridor with only two doors.after i went through the first dooor and was reaching for the second, the second door(which was open) went closed. turning around only to see the same girl but this time round more creeply. The next moment i was warped into the same corridor. but blloodd covering the whole ceiling and dripping. in the far distance u could see her covering in blood moving towards u. reaching out for my weapon only to find none. man, damn it. just as i walk towards her , she faded into a pile of dust. Movement was slowed,near the sides of screen was the motion blur effect as u walk. Reaching the end the gal appeared once again. and i was warped back to reality.This game is one hell of a hoorror movie. i cant wait for the sequel to come out in early 2008.i' get a gold edition by then to grab both games ^.^


The sequel to F.E.A.R. continues the supernatural suspense story of an escalating paranormal crisis that threatens to destroy a major American city. At the center of the calamity is the mysterious Alma, whose rage against those who wronged her triggered a chain of events that has spiraled completely out of control
