Day 1 Studios and Warner Brothers Interactive are behind the newest installment of the FEAR series, which hits shelves today. Previously, the FEAR games were produced by Monolith Productions, but Day 1 Studios was responsible for releasing FEAR on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 back in 2006 and 2007. For FEAR 3, with consulting help from horror expert John Carpenter, Day 1 had full control.
This is a more robust FEAR offering than I've previously experienced before, although that doesn't make it necessarily the best. That said, this is a well rounded release -- let's take a closer look, shall we?
DualShockers Writes "F.E.A.R. 3 (or F.3.A.R. if you’re a marketing executive) isn’t a great singleplayer game. It’s fine, competent even, but Day One Studios had an unenviable task in trying to wrap up Monolith’s F.E.A.R. series. With two timelines and two highly different styles of horror attempted in its wake, F.E.A.R. 3, well, it tries its best."
F.E.A.R. 3 wasn't even really a horror game when it came to the campaign. It was a good action game, but lost just about all of its horror roots along the way.
There have plenty of great horror games, but others haven't been so lucky as to stick around. They deserve to get a new lease on life.
That was probably the first time ever that I saw Castlevania in a list of horror games.
ps: Be warned, you have to click a lot to see every game in the list. I stopped after the 4th time.
What is divergent co-op and how could more games benefit from it?
