I knew that at some given point, the FEAR 2 demo should be on the Marketplace... I didn't have a damn clue when that was.

So, browsing through the Marketplace which never has anything on it but lists of songs. Speaking of Rock Band/Singstar-whatever-the-fuck-its-called/GH DLC - Make a seperate category for those fuckers already. The entire "New Arrivals" tab is flooded by songs that are all listed one-by-one. There's already a seperate section for DLC Songs, but now just seperate those tons of songs from the mainstream DLC and give them their own New Arrivals section, or something.

But, anyway...

So, yes. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first FEAR. Which in my opinion was great in the first few levels, but turned into a boring drag for the rest of the game. Hell I even looked the ending up on YouTube cause I knew I would never be assed to actually get to that point. The entire game can be summed up in a couple of lines;

• Office spaces.
• Vents.
• Big puddles of blood, indicating someone has a massive nose bleed or a few women hit that time of the month suddenly.
• Cheap scares.
• Some well executed scares.
• Extremely freaky shit with hallways turning into some black void with some creepy dude walking to you.

• First off; This game picks up at the so-stolen-from-Half Life 2-ending - The part where the city gets assploded because Alma did it for the lulz.
• I don't know whether Alma has the mental capability of crapping a nuke out - But the city is in such bad condition... she has some powers.
• I noticed first off that the game sort-of starts outside - Fixed the biggest issue of FEAR already; The lack of ... outside.
• The game is so damn brutal. Shit, Gears 2 eat your heart out. Believe me, ask Sgt. Fox. *gasp*
• The whole "We'll turn hallways into your worst enemy" thing has been revamped. And they're much more dramatic.
• Also worth saying: The first level is through a school. Yeah, when you think about it.... Ain't that screwed up?
• The AI is still great as ever. Kicking over stuff to take cover, shotgunner keeping me busy while a dude with a SMG flanks me, you name it.
• The game makes more use out of the envoirment; Cover for one. Kicking over tables/lockers/etc. to reload behind or so.
• Another thing: Check the Men's Room in the school. Some dude has met a crappy fate in the crapper, man.
• The thing that I don't like is... Mech-suits. What. The. Hell.
