It is still incredibly slow for me though. The only reason I am still on it is that it has unlimited data.	LiquidSolidity (1589)
600162	2007-10-11 18:12:00	Ok, so now we know about everyone's internet link speed, but this is about a game. Is it any good, is it worth others downloading or is it just a waste of your datacap?:p	Pacifier (2821)
600163	2007-10-11 18:46:00	Is it any good, is it worth others downloading or is it just a waste of your datacap?:p I started it up and had a look - but decided to finish the round of Extraction Point I'm on (probably the sixth time I've gone through it...) before I play through the demo. It looks like more of the same though - which is no bad thing. (If I want wide open rural spaces I play STALKER.) There's a couple of new weapons in it as I understand.	Deane F (8204)
600164	2007-10-11 20:03:00	Is it any good, is it worth others downloading or is it just a waste of your datacap?:p What data cap? hehe :D I haven't actually installed it, because I don't have enough hard drive space. That's the only problem with unlimited broadband :lol:	Agent_24 (57)
600165	2007-10-11 20:11:00	It looks like more of the same though "F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate, the second expansion pack for Windows PC, offers both seasoned gamers and those who have never played the original F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) the ability to jump-in and experience the fright with a brand new team in an all-new experience that presents a different perspective of the events that occur at Armacham. The campaign reveals a parallel story allowing players to take the role of a different F.E.A.R. soldier and battle new enemies that the original team never saw coming. So while there's a risk that Perseus Mandate might feature some of the indoor locations we're used to from the first game, Timegate are fighting against this with larger outdoor areas than before, and a slim six-hour run-time. Arrayed against you are Nightcrawlers, a new kind of ultra-hard mercenary soldier who loves to hide behind stuff, flank you if he can, and most of all say "Oohhh fuuuuuu..." when you hit the bullet-time mode and kick him in the kneecaps. There's also something rather horrid called a Shade, a supernatural beastie who just can't get enough tasty human blood. It can only exist in shadows - potentially a stroke of genius - so you'll be nervously scanning dark corners with your torch and hurriedly turning on as many lights as you can, fighting the environment as well as your enemies. New weapons include a launcher which fires bouncy grenades - perfect for those enclosed spaces - and a chain lightning gun which fires streaks of blue energy, knocking back unfortunate grunts. If the latter's a bit Dungeons & Dragons for you, the laser-scoped rifle ought to satisfy your inner Guns & Ammo reader. Its scope cuts through smoke- and dust-filled areas, allowing you to pick out targets you'd otherwise be blind to. These three shooters are joined by all the weapons from not only the first game but also the first expansion, so you won't be short of a weapon with which to panickingly spray bullets into a dark corner. It's two years since we first faced FEAR and you could be forgiven for demanding the latest technology in your shooters. Perseus Mandate looks like the original, that's the bottom line: it looked great back then and it looks decent now. If you're a technology fetishist then you'll be better served by Crysis; but if gritty, gory shoot-outs, slow-motion bullet ballet and high-tech horror get your shotgun pumping then you could do a lot worse than taking another dose of FEAR. " I've missed a load of ammo I think, I'm at a door beyond which is a load of enemies who mow me down straight away. Time to start again I think and take my time.	pctek (84)

Is it any good, is it worth others downloading or is it just a waste of your datacap?:p You obviously haven't played the original? It's a great demo but more of the same.	LiquidSolidity (1589)
600167	2007-10-13 18:43:00	Just to be confusing: F.E.A.R. Sequel Becomes Project Origin by Maarten Goldstein Sep 06, 2007 9:07am CST Monolith's F.E.A.R. sequel is now officially known as the rather unimaginative Project Origin. Due out on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Project Origin will follow the events of the original F.E.A.R. The game is not to be confused with Vivendi's planned F.E.A.R. sequel, which can not use the characters from Monolith's 2005 shooter. (Perseus Mandate)"	pctek (84)

600169	2007-10-14 01:22:00	F.E.A.R was unbelievably scary:eek: That girl scared the living daylights out of me the first time I came across her. Heres a tip: Don't play it at night, when its freezing, raining VERY hard and there are continual gusts of wind. Good God that sucked but boy was the game worth it:lol:	beeswax34 (63)
600170	2007-10-14 03:24:00	Yeah, I don't mind admitting that F.E.A.R. scared the crap out of me fist time I played it - and like others I know I stopped playing it late one night and just went to bed instead. Even the second time playing it through I wasn't looking forward to some bits.	Deane F (8204)
