So I bought FEAR 2 this weekend because it was 50% off on Steam. Not really worth it.
I completed the game, which wasn't very hard. I found the game controls undynamic, often confusing the crouch and "slow-mo" buttons, and aim/zoom button with the melee button - I also never found the melee attack to be useful in combat, not even once. Grenades were also difficult to use effectively, as throwing them was assigned to "G" on the keyboard, limitting maneuverability while throwing. And no, the game wouldn't let me assign that action to one of the sidebuttons on my mouse either.
Apart from that, I found myself using a walkthrough to get on with the game several times because I had missed some stupid little button or "console", as these are often not very obvious at all. The fucking weapons and items are highlighted in boxes so you don't miss them. Why not apply this to game critical parts as well?
There were some cool in-game sequences and the slow-mo feature is also pretty cool, but it's just not enough to make it the great game it could have been.

I gave up on the first one out of boredom.

I also gave up on the first one, basically for the same reasons that you didn't like the second one.
Some people really swear by FEAR 2, though.

Too bad there won't be a Grim Fandango 2 in our lifetimes.
If only adventure games were still popular.

Oh, I was actually thinking that maybe I should have gotten that one instead, as I remember it looking pretty cool when a friend played it.

Bought Bioshock and completed it within 2 days. Not that it's a short game, really. Once I'm started, I can't stop. Terrible.
I liked it, and will probably come back to it again.
It's got quite a few similarities with F.E.A.R. 2 - Creepy little girls, big armored dudes with guns shooting nasty spikes, ghosts, petrified people, use of electrocution to stun/kill, some similar weapons, etc.... But Bioshock is a waaaaaayyy better game. A lot of options to choose from, a lot of space to explore, plus I like that old 50's style.

Bioshock was pretty sweet. I doubt your computer - or any computer made after 2006 - can run it, but try and get a copy of System Shock 2. It's Bioshock in space with graphics ten times worse and gameplay ten times better.

Free 3D Movement & Interaction!!
I'm sure glad they didn't decide to charge for the interaction or movement. That would totally kill the raging boner that I'd surely develop if I were so inclined to fuck horny cyberbabes.

And that was not to imply that I like to combine sex with feces. It was a one-time affair, I swear!
Also, I played the L4D 2 demo today. I like the machette and the guitar. Everything else in that game fucking sucks.

Everything else in that game is pretty fucking ballin'.
It's completely different than L4D1 in that there are tons of ways that your shit will get fucked. True men play L4D2 versus.
