First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R): A creepy bloodfest

F.E.A.R is an inherently creepy horror survival game developed by VU Games and published by Monolith. The game bundles frighteningly realistic gun battles with highly intelligent AI scripting for an altogether mind-blowing experience.

The beginning of the game is marked by a superb cinematic from the third person perspective, which informs the player about the background of the story. Paxton Fettel, a military commander stationed at a secret Government base, has gone insane. The actual problem, however, is more serious than that. Fettel has a medium sized army of cloned soldiers telepathically linked to him, under part of an experimental set-up. They have taken over and nearly destroyed the city in which the base is located. Now, Fettel and his pack of soldiers are searching the entire base and derelict city with a fine-toothed comb, supposedly in their hunt for something of great value. The Delta Force has been dispatched for damage control, but is facing heavy casualties
