So yeah, I already went out and ordered a bunch of shooters but I've also been really interested in FEAR ..and well you can never really have too many shooters. I was thinking of whether to buy two MS 1600 point cards or FEAR? I don't really plan on using the MS points for anything like gamer pictures, themes, or arcade games just for the upcoming map packs that are going to be released for Lost Planet, R6: Vegas, and others and while I feel that the MS points are a pretty big rip off, especially considering the fact that you have to pay for new maps, obviously there's nothing I can do about it so I'll just need to come down to a decision between the two. Any ideas?

I'd say buy Fear then when you have some spare money to dispose of, buy those MS points.

Alright, sounds good. Does anyone know when the exact date might be that these map packs will be released by Lost Planet and R6: Vegas? From the article all I saw was within the "next couple of months".

I'd get the game; at least you can play it. With the points they'd just be sitting there for God knows how long before you used them. -K

Buy FEAR for the PC for half the price of the 360 version and buy one 1600 point card. Problem solved. Oh, and you'll also benefit with being able to play with a keyboard and mouse... the way FPSs are meant to be played.

F.E.A.R. = Short single player, boring muiltplayer.

MS Points = Assualt Heroes and Pac-man pwnage :)

Perhaps, but this way he can also play the expansion pack, Extraction Point as well as download FREE maps for multiplayer, albiet FEAR doessn't really have too many as the MP is a tad dry.

Well, I played trough FEAR on pc and loved it...No replay value for SP for me though....
I would never get that game for 360 if I were you...Buy something else or buy the MS points...
