Nine days ago I received a press release informing me that the single player demo for the upcoming F.E.A.R. expansion – Extraction Point, had been released. So, I figured figured what the hell and downloaded it. Well, I enjoyed the demo so much I decided that I should run out and pick up the original version. Over the next several days I fought my way through the game, mostly playing in the middle of the night (for the best experience). It was terrific – I should have picked it up much sooner. Alma was a bit too much of a Sadako clone for my tastes but I supposed there aren't too many way to portray a creepy little girl. My only problem with the game, now that I've finished it, is that I don't want to replay it because it just won't be as creepy the next time through – guess I'll have to wait till Extraction Point hits next month.
Anyway, if you haven't played it I suggest you pick it up!
While I was out picking up F.E.A.R. I also decided I should get a copy of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. I'm not too far yet but, I'm going to try to make it to the end of the main quest. I tried to get into Morrowind Game of the Year Edition for Xbox a while back but couldn't – hopefully this time it goes better. One thing I noticed so far is that the system I installed it on needs some more memory.

I am not very practiced in FPSs, but the FEAR demo was fantastic. Unfortunately, I didn’t finish the demo because one part stymied me. It does look like a really awesome game.
Really? What part was that? It’s a great game combined with an interesting story. What more is there to ask for?
Well… I got as far as the bit where a bunch of heavily armoured guys storm in through a door at the end of an open area. Past the part where there are lockers with powerups. I don’t know if I am describing it well.
I was able to take out the guard patrolling above, but when I reach the door underneath the walkway, they all storm in and I’m overwhelmed. Don’t know whether I should have run away, or aimed somewhere else or what.
Sounds like most of the game.
I’ve found that if you get overwhelmed it’s easiest to pull back and find some cover – which of course you can’t use to long till they throw some grenades your way – and then try and pop out to take care of one (or two if you can get a second one) at a time.
