What's the point of a shooting game? Shooting things! It's weird, then, how many first-person shooters are content to settle for positively wimpy gun mechanics, with rifles that sound like pea-shooters and machine guns that take three boxes of ammo to down a small mammal. If it's not fun to shoot, what's the point? Make an RPG or something. It's much more interesting to play games in which your shotgun's barrels emit deep rumbles, bullets palpably smash into bodies and where flying gore is ...

A genetically modified military officer, capable of psychically controlling the troops ...   » Read Full FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon preview

So, you haven't played the PC version of scare-tactical first-person shooter FEAR, and you wonder what the big deal is? Just imagine a single-player game that's equally inspired by horror movies such as The Ring or Poltergeist as it is by white-knuckle military shooters like Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Got it? Okay, now push that image out of your mind, because all we've seen of the 360 version is the "instant action" mode. That's not a bad thing; it's just not so much ...   » Read Full FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon preview
