F.E.A.R

Currently playing F.E.A.R. or First Encounter Assault Recon. Not one to be easily scared by too many things, I would have to admit that this game actually makes me jump at times with its awesome sound affects, pools of gooey blood everywhere, and that freaky girl that mimics the character from "The Ring". Unlike Doom or Painkiller, which are slasher horror type games where monsters jump out of dark corners, F.E.A.R seems to try to intermix something more along the lines of The Sixth Sense or Ju-On. Often times while walking through eerie dark regions of this game strange sounds will emanate and shadowy figures will drift by and suddenly dissapear.

Anyhow, I highly recommend it for any gamers that are into scary movies or even girls that like to watch scary movies. (I don't mind having a female audience while I play =P") This game is graphics/memory intensive and makes me feel as though my recent desktop upgrade was fully worth the cost. It seems as though most computers these days are under-utilized given that the majority of people merely use it to do word processing, excel spreadsheets, browse, email, and chat. You could run a 5 year old 500 mhz computer and still do that easily... well maybe slightly slower but it still gets the job done. =)
