First Encounter Assault Recon

F.E.A.R.
The new game from Monolith (and if you don't recognise them, you're on the wrong blog)
So what's the big deal? the SP demo is out and man oh man oh man!
This game is SCARY. No that's not the word, it's more than scary, it messes with your head, screws you around and leaves gagging for more.
The demo is a small (and not that easy) sample of things to come, basically an FPS that looks just as good as the new batch, but leaves them all in the dust when it comes to sheer psycho thrills. Graphically it looks more half life 2 than doom 3 (which, quite controversially, i like alot more than half life 2, cos it's just pretty damn amazing), with pretty neat bullet-time (slow-mo) effects. But that's not why you'll play it. You'll play it just to prove to yourself that you ARE a man, and that games WON'T scare you, cos they're just games.... or so I thought.
Now, everyone hold hands and get your arses over to gamershell and download the 650mbyte demo. Out in October - I'm scared already...
