FEAR is the best FPS of 2005, period
I am not going into Graphic and the gameplay because by looking at screen shoots most people already know this is a beautiful if not one of the most beautiful game which require you shoot you way out of every level. What so sucessful about FEAR is not about its game play or Graphic but rather it uses those element well in the game's story and mood.
I had nightmare after finishing F.E.A.R that is how much this game had gotten into me. It is the litte things that in the game make this game so scary. tricks from Hollywood and Japanese horror movies. The noise and movement out of no where always make me jump out of the seat. I run this game on my Dell 24'LCD monitor and the impact is unbelieveable.
The only complain I have against the game is that its reply value is not very hard. The multi-play design is not innotative. But for a game looks this good, scarier than the remake of Ringu and last 15-20 hours of entertainment no other Hollywood movies can offer these days? I love it.
