GamePro writes: "While it wasn't the best shooter ever created -- that honor belongs to the original Half-Life -- the original F.E.A.R. was a terrific FPS, full of intense action, a sweet slo-mo gimmick and the scariest little girl I've ever encountered whose last name wasn't Olsen. Now, the spine tingling sequel, Project Origin is here to continue the story of the psychic and psychotic Alma with damn good results."

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.
Following on the coattails of the highly successful First Encounter Assault Recon, or F.E.A.R., Monolith Soft and publisher Warner Brothers released the highly anticipated F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
Set immediately prior to the finale of Point Man’s adventure in F.E.A.R., Project Origin tasks the player, one Sergeant Becket, and his squad with the retrieval and protection of Armacham’s Genevieve Aristide. Shortly after you battle your way through her apartment complex, a mushroom cloud explosion blasts through the city, successfully incapacitating Becket. While passing in and out of consciousness, Becket sees his journey from Aristide’s apartment to a hospital bed where he hallucinates being torn asunder by demons. Upon awakening, Becket finds himself pitted against a team of special ops soldiers cleaning up Armacham’s involvement from the original F.E.A.R.
Hahahahha. But seriously, I love this friggin game. Played it from start to finish about a dozen times since it came out. I wouldn't mind a Remastered Trilogy.
Ill probably be getting this game later this week, but it looks tight.
i have a problem with this concept.. i mean, yeah half-life was good during its hey-day.. but right now it pales in comparison to, say COD4, in terms of polish or Bioshock in terms of gameplay mechanics or any other FPS today in terms of graphics/presentation.. don't get me wrong, i played the heck out of HL.. but HL2 is way better.. and so are other FPS titles..
so, yeah, HL is the best FPS at the time it was released. but that's judging it relative to its time. now it's dated. FPS gameplay has been refined but HL remained static. the way games work is it is constantly improving with every new title. would you rather play HL then, say, gaylo 3 at this point in time?
the best shooter ever created?.. just bout of nostolgia there
