About two hours into FEAR I find myself in an open area. A rooftop, to be precise, criss-crossed with metallic steps and walkways. And on every raised section I can see patrols. Handily, there's also a low, flat wall to the left offering enough cover for me to make some headway. I'm halfway along it when I hear a shout of "Grenade out!" and an ominous chink from a few metres behind. I run - into a little cubbyhole just beyond the grenade's blast. Now I'm in trouble.

Doom 3 is a bit scary too, however if you stay longer you might have a brain tumor for that... it really gives me a headache. But in fear is like playing "rainbow6 vs house of the dead"... it really chills you A LOT when your started to breeze..now how do I describe it...like your playing video games in the graveyard..ALONE..!
