Maybe giving power to the people isn't such a great idea; The results for the Name Your Fear contest naming Monolith's F.E.A.R. sequel are in, and the project is now officially known as the rather unimaginative Project Origin.
Due out on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Project Origin will follow the events of the original F.E.A.R. The game is not to be confused with Vivendi's planned F.E.A.R. sequel, which can not use the characters from Monolith's 2005 shooter.
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Whilst F.E.A.R 2 wasn’t the masterpiece I remembered from ten years ago, with its combat and level design being worse than the original, it is still a fun game that is well worth playing through today. "

PSU continues its look at the horror genre over the past 20 years on PlayStation platforms, with our latest entry looking at the tail end of the PS2 era and into a new generation with the release of the PS3. Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, Siren: Blood Curse, and F.E.A.R. are just some of the pant-wetting pleasures you'll find in part 3.

Please note that this list is in no particular order. Each selection has been made by individual writers who found their respective choice their most terrifying experience in gaming."
I mostly agree with those except with Alan Wake, it wasnt scary at all.
But a great list overall.
I've played all games on the list. Alan wakes was intense at certain moments not scary. Fatal Frame; I was quite young then it got me scared shit less(damn camera). The evil within was ok but Resident evil scared me more back in the day (maybe its because I got older, dont know).
As for PT? ok...I advice people NOT to use surround headsets whie playing this...Jesus... I could hear her moan behind me right on top of my ear at times and I could for the life of me turn around...mind f***
But my god does Alien Isolation raise my heart beat. When you're being chased by the xenomorph and you know you are totally defenseless against it can scare the bejesus out of you, things get worse when you realize that running for it when you encounter the beast makes things worse, yeah...
That said Silent hill 2 was scary as shit as well, especially when the Pyramid head chased you...
Hope its better then FEAR one (I played on PC btw)
Its overrated boring pile of crap. Its not scary its just annoying. AI is dumb. yes DUMB even Quake 4 retard AI is better.
Online is quite bad too.
In my views the title is so important!
It IS the game. The title tells yo what the game is about and everything and is the first thing the gamer sees. It is almost the most important thing to get righ.
This tells me the devs have NO idea what to do for a sequel and no thought has gone into making a great game.
Just a "scary" unimaganitive title is liley to sum up the whole game tbh
Examples:
HAlo - about halo ringworld, title came from story,
Gears of War - clever title, COGs were good (gears) and it as also the start of a war coming. Gears turning to create a war
Metal Gear - title from story
etc
Project Origin? They must not have a story..or even an idea.
The first F.E.A.R. didn't appeal to me at all
shoulda gone with B.E.E.R
I prefered the Dead Echo but this one is actually good and more suitable. Good find.
