An unidentified paramilitary force infiltrates a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound, taking hostages but issuing no demands.

Determine the origin of the signal. And contain this crisis before it spirals out of control.

F.E.A.R. Wins Best Action Game of E3

The Game Critics Awards were announced last night and F.E.A.R. took home Best Action Game of E3 2005. As described by Rob Smith, Editor-in-Chief of OXM:

"Standing out from the crowd in this hotly-contested category ain't easy. F.E.A.R. didn't just stand out, but leapt out with its paranormal/horror skew built into one of the most impressive first-person action systems we've seen so far. While graphically impeccable, F.E.A.R.'s most striking accomplishment seems to be in its enemy A.I. and how that helps crafts unique action scenes one enemy pulls a shelf unit down to block your path, and as you back off another crawls through the gap it leaves to try and get a bead on you. A bullet-time mode creates such indelible moments of grenade explosions and bullet fire that they promise to sear themselves in your head as much as the freaky mind-messing moments destined to send shivers down your spine."
