F.E.A.R. 2 (360 demo)

Well, how about that: here’s another game that seems very well done and I’m absolutely not willing to spend more time with. The shooter aspect seems perfectly competent (the only problem being that I didn’t quite feel when I was getting hurt, and was surprised to find out I had been killed — also, I’m sure there’s a reason why the enemies are bullet sponges, seeing how armored they are, but that’s still a bit annoying), and the fear part… well, is also pretty competent.

I’d say it could be interesting to see how it plays in multiplayer (where I figure you’re rid of the ghosts and visions), but there isn’t exactly a lack of online FPSs these days, and I doubt this one has anything to offer that Call of Duty et al. don’t.
