So I recently finished Fear 2. yay. And now i think i should write a review of my own since many on the internet are very negative...
Let's start with the gameplay, i found the weapons to offer a wide variety of power. My favourite was the laser since you need to change your angle while shooting, which is neat. While the guns are good, the combat is too. I found the soldiers in this game to be a lot stupider and basically i was able to kill them without slowing down time. That may seem like a negative thing but no, i thought it was good since you don't have enough slo-mo to kill everyone lol. One major problem i had (maybe due to me playing with 3d glasses which cause the crosshair to shift) is that it usually took me 3 or 4 hits in the head 2 kill someone, i just thought it was strange.
Level design is also insanely better, kind of a mix between doom 3, halo, and gta 4. The interiors are just really advanced looking while the exteriors have nice architecture.
How about graphics? they be really good. With the 3d glasses on its even better.
Sound? uhh, normal i guess.
Story? This is a funny one... (not really humorous, just weird). Instead of the secret plans being told to you over the radio, they are now documents that you must read. And there are 76 i think, that's a lot of reading :|
Once you figure out what's going on, everything seems to be really enjoyable and you're like "ooo this is exciting i cant wait to do this". Im refering to the end of the game, which confused the hell out of me. I was all set to do Objective A when Person A comes along and kills Assistant A, then I'm stuck and Enemy A shows up and im like o shit. then all the efforts to kill Enemy A are wasted and somehow i get raped and she's pregnant with my boy (or girl). I tried making that as unspoiling as possible...
Ok the story (ending and delivery) couldve been better. But the content of everything before the ending was supreme.
The horror scares? They were what you'd expect i guess. There's some ghosts, semi-creepy areas (especially under the school in the specimen holding area), and i guess it was ok. Same pattern tho like in the first game (fight bad, walk, fight ghosts, walk, repeat).
My recommendation™: Excellent to people who like shooting with advanced weaponry, mild scares, attention to detail in graphics, an unusual story, and people who like reading a bright blue text with 3d glasses on at the same time (my eyes hurt).

New links
hey its been a while, here's a site that you might enjoy. Its my skydrive which allows me to basically host files that may be of use to people and myself. http://cid-bc627ecd9176d202.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public
If you go to the top you can see the directories sorta, under public. It says steve>skydrive>public. If you click the skydrive button you should be able to see actual files instead of just pics.

its been a while :O
ok i havent posted in a while, ive been very busy and all, let's see what's happenning
- the next two weeks are insanely important, cuz i gotta get my average up before mid-april or else. So far I have a 54 in physics, 72? in math and i guess a 97 in economics, if i can bring up the physics to a 75 and the math to an 85 i should be ok. But will this happen? we shall c....
-i was pretty bummed about failing the G driving test, but hey, the whole residential thing was unexpected and seeing how i got perfect on the highway part i guess i did all i could. April 24 is the next chance :D
-So people are noticing my 3d work, even people from Argentina. Looks like i'm getting some notice on the interwebz yay. Also I created a boxart during march break at http://vgboxart.com/view/27945/portal.hill.3/?replies=5 this is basically my attempt at a game concept with a comedic twist and random cameos.
-ok what else... I started playing Silent Hill 2 a few days ago, its really good too. I think the third is better but w/e its still good. That reminds me, i gotta finish Gears of War 2, which is also an amazing game, and I gotta finish Fear 2 (what's with the pattern of shoot scare shoot scare?) and Super Mario Galaxy (its so good why havent i finished it?) and see what this wii fit is all about, i've had it for 3 months and havent even touched it :
-for now, i got a bike ride in 30 mins to see this earth hour at the mountain brow, i know this comp will be off then so pce!
-tl;dr? i think not.

This is bad... real bad
Well okay it might not be that bad, but the 3d site where i get a lot of 3d models has a petition for making a minimum price. This means no more free models from this site which i download so often. And this also means I can't put free models up on the site either, so i gotta find a new site or somethin.
