"The epic horror shooter series continues with F.E.A.R 3. Having recently screamed into stores we look at the latest offering from Day 1 Studios and Warner Brothers, asking, “Is F.E.A.R 3 the scariest horror game to come out of the franchise? Can you afford to face F.E.A.R. alone?” We have played it extensively and this is our take on a game that has promised “Pulse Pounding Action” amongst many other adjectives. Sadly, Alma just doesn’t seem to cut it any longer. To simply appear and try to scare you isn’t enough and she remains no real threat to the player. There are some really atmospheric rooms in the game though they never really lead to anything more than a trolley being pushed across a doorway or a rat running in front of you. It has to be said that with hugely influencial direction from John Carpenter (The Thing, Halloween) working closely with Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), you would be forgiven for expecting at the very least, a strong, well thought out scare-fest. Sadly, F.E.A.R 3 rarely scares and the script is difficult to follow."
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?
