Another harsh blow by the OFLC. Fear 2 has been rated RC meaning it has officially been banned in Australia. This is yet another added to the sadly large list of games that have now been edited or banned in Australia this generation.
Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Bloody Disgusting goes back to see Alma ten years on from the launch of the sequel.
This game honestly killed all my interest in the franchise, I loved 1 and its expansions (even though they're technically non-canon now) but the sequel was such a let down.
First-Person Shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays and it’s a struggle to really find one that stands out and separates itself from the genre. This can be a double-edged sword, as a FPS that brings something new to the table can often unintentionally have that new thing staying at the table forever. But what if that game managed to capture a concept so well that not even its successors could manage to tap into its perfect blend of creative design? Let’s say they decided to mix genres: ones that had been mixed before, but managed to do something that hadn’t been done before. Could it be possible that a studio managed to make a sort of lightning in a bottle for FPS’s, something so good that there may not be anything quite like it for over a decade after it came out? Well, that DID happen, and that game’s name was F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon.
its been almost exactly 4 years since F.3.A.R. its a great series that needs a comeback.
The first one still holds up well to this day. Hope to see another one on current gen ;)
Hardcore Gamer: GOG has made its name as the place to go for DRM-free gaming. Now, the company has added a number of games from the Warner Bros. Interactive library to its lineup of available games.
this bloody government is good with everything but bloody games and the f***en internet!
Games and the internet are my (aus) governments sh*ttest policies.
I'm effin angry. F*k.
Now that our dollar went from .98 for a us dollar to 0.65 in like a week, its harder to buy from overseas.
F*k.
Not only do you have to pay way more for games in Aus, but the censorship of games is just ridiculous. Looking at games that DO make it to shelves (Gears 2, Condemned 2, GTA IV) does Fear 2 really have anything that's worse?
Is it because the girl is scary? I have no clue!
Harsh luck guys.
PS3 titles aren't region encoded are they?
Any chance you could import?
We (in the UK) lose some games too Manhunt 2 for example and No More Heroes had the blood taken out and replaced with some stupid paint stuff.
We also get scr3wed on release dates and price in the UK too.
I ordered my dualshock 3 from the US 2 months before it came out in England AND it was still cheaper buying from the states and shipping it in.
Any chance you could get Fear 2 that way? Would it be cheaper than the price you'd pay in Oz anyway?
Or order the PC version from abroad?
you Aussies should do a strike. I wonder if New Zealand has the same policies.
