Weekend Confirmed 66 - FEAR 3, Shadows of the Damned
by Garnett Lee, Jun 24, 2011 11:00am PDTSettling in to summer, the Weekend Confirmed crew finds a stack of great games waiting to be played. Christian Spicer sits in with Xav, Jeff, and Garnett to talk F.E.A.R. 3, Shadows of the Damned, inFamous 2, Trenched, and more in Whatcha' Been Playin? The Warning gets started with a continuation of a discussion that started on twitter about whether names like Mizuguchi, Suda, Mikami, and Yamaoka generate big buzz. The group also looks at all the other big games hitting their 10th anniversary along with Halo and realizes 2001 was a pretty special year. The news and Finishing Moves bring it all home.

Comments
I heard so many negative things about FEAR2.
That the enemy AI wasn't as good, and that the levels were so linear that it robbed the AI soldiers of their ability to flank like the first game.
I also heard the story wasn't as good as the first game.
Maybe I'll pick it up and play the original (which I picked up recently on Xbox 360 for like, $5) and FEAR2 back-to-back one night.
