I have never played either of the system shock games, i didnt even hear fo them until it was too late to get them...


But the same guys who made them are making Bioshock, and i am DYING to get it. from what i have seen so far, it is not only goiung to be groundbreaking, but it will have you running for a change of underwear.


Back to FEAR though.... the dreamier sequences are some of the most horrific i have seen i na video game. everything is just a little blurry, and the high contrast of blood red and white-grey is very offputting. reminds me of how uncomfortable some horror movies make you by being gritty and using just the right color of blood (TCM is a great example)


And jesus christ, Alma... she is creepy enough as a girl through most of the game, but the other version (if youve played it, you know...) ESPECIALLY the part where she corners you and reaches out to touch you....

I had to reload (My gun) the first time i played that part and almost started screaming...
