My favorite FPS to-date.

User Rating: 9 | F.E.A.R. PC

I'll play the worst game if it has a great story that draws me in. When F.E.A.R. came along, I realized that the gameplay didn't have to suck in order to experience an entertaining story. This holds just as true in reverse; I didn't have to play a great shooter with a throwaway story either.

Sure the premise dips from Japanese horror movies like "The Ring." Sure, other games like "Max Payne" did slow-motion shooting before this. Sure games told entirely through the first-person point-of-view have been done. But no game has ever put all of these together, along with great graphics, physics, and enemy AI the way F.E.A.R. does.

It also doesn't hurt that the game genuinely scared the sh** out of me a few times.

I can't wait until I get my hands on F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
