I loved the first one. Played the bejesus out of it. Now we have a second one in the works, that if all goes as planned, will be released in the coming weeks. So in preperation come take a seat around the campfire and let me tell you kiddies a story.

When FEAR came out my Asus AGP ATI graphics card(don't remember the exact model anymore was kind of on the fritz. By on the fritz I mean I think I let it overheat one too many times. I was a bit on the broke side, and PCIe was the new technology. So in order to buy a decent card I was going to have to upgrade my whole system. This isn't exactly true, but I don't realy like buying "old" technology hence my disaproving glares at the AGP cards on Newegg.com.

Besides, the card wasn't completely shot. It still sort of worked. It was just that after a few minutes, the on screen particles made it look like I was playing in a snow storm in the Himalayas. A snow storm with red flakes, that were all perfectly square. This was especially true when the special slowdown power was used in F.E.A.R. So I took the minimalist aproach to slowdown, and used it as little as possible. This helped, as long as I wasn't in too dark of a room....which there are a butload of in F.E.A.R.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say, all-be-it long winded, is that I still played and had fun with F.E.A.R. even with these handy caps. So when I found out that F.E.A.R was returning I was more than a bit ecstatic. My problem now lies with one of the greatest decisions known to man: Do I get this one for my 360, or do I get it for my Computer.

That kind of leads me to another topic, the old tried and true controller vs. mouse/keyboard. I think I'll tackle that one next time.
