F.E.A.R.

The best shooters endure. While the state of the art moves on in other genres and leaves old designs in the dust, it's as fun to fire a well-made shotgun from an early 90s FPS as from one released today. For that reason, this list runs the gamut from genre classics to those released in the last year. There's bound to be something for you…

To compile a list of the 25 best horror games on PC is to look into the void for so long that the void not only starts to look back, but shakes you by the hand and takes you out for coffee. It is to fight with monsters until you become a monster and then go on a European railtrip with the other monsters, and…

The shadows on the wall tell me they’re coming. Two of them, both with assault rifles swinging idly at their hips. If I’m quick enough, I’m sure I can take them both out in one go. I peek out of cover as they round the corner, and let my stake gun sing, pinning the first enemy to the wall with 10mm steel projectiles. But at…

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. I’m still annoyed at F.E.A.R. 2.

All F.E.A.R 2…

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game recommendations. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. F.E.A.R. may not be the best first-person shooter of all time but it has the best shooting of any first-person game.

Update: A second conversation with Craig Hubbard revealed a few more details, so I've added them where appropriate. The section 'Mergers And Executions' now talks more about cut villain Conrad Krige and the game's improbable original opening (a car chase), while a new section on its famous radio chatter has been added to the end. In this second of three conversations with the Monolith veterans…
