F.E.A.R. stands for First Encounter Assault Recon, which is supposed to mean that the people a part of this group fight paranormal entities. I look at the title, and then the cover, and get the pun, but not the abbreviation.
Well I haven't played any of the F.E.A.R. games, and I think that was because I had no idea what the F.E.A.R. series was. Well I opened up my May issue of Gameinformer (I finished reading it, I make them last a long time) and find F.E.A.R. 3, with a really pale guy with a bullet hole in his head on the first page introducing the game. I flip the page, and find a really scary looking soon-to-be mother, with the name of Alma Wade. Yes I knew who Alma was, she was the creepy little girl from the original F.E.A.R. as I can tell, but in this picture, she's a grown woman 9 months pregnant. I turn the page one more time, and find a paragraph titles "the contractions of horror"...This is the point where I start looking up the games.
The first F.E.A.R. brings us to our protagonist for the game, Point Man, who is the mysterious person that leads the F.E.A.R. special forces team and also has superhuman reflexes. It actually sounds kind of like the beginning of a S.W.A.T. 4 mission (here's to you Spoony), with the squad being called in to stop a supernatural phenomenom, which is a little red dressed ghostly girl named Alma. Alma is thought to be the controller of Paxton Fettel, the superhuman leader of a pack of replica super soldiers, who goes on a killing spree for no aparrent reason. Now it turns out that Alma is the mother of Point Man and Paxton Fettel as a part of Armacham's Project Origin, which was used to make more psychic beings using Alma as the source, with her father being the leader of the project. In the end, Paxton is dead and the Origin facitlity is destroyed, but Alma is still alive, and her quest for revenge still needs completion.
Next, we come to F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, which replaces the Point Man who you're all so use to with Michael Beckett, a Delta Forces operator who also uses psychic powers. They discover a new Armacham project, Project Harbinger, which is supposed to involve Beckett and his team and Alma. After fighting with Alma and her minions through a hospital, Beckett and the remaining members of his squad must fight to Still Island and eliminate Alma. Well after a lot of fighting, killing and hallucinations, the team finds out that Project Harbinger is a project made to create another psychic being like Paxton Fettel, involving either Beckett or Sergant Keegan of the squad as big candidates. Well Keegan does end up getting killed by Alma, and Genevieve Aristide of Armacham says she's going to lock Alma up with Beckett and use them as leverage. Well Alma has also told Beckett telepathically that she "has grown feelings for him", and when they're locked in the chamber together, he goes into a hallucination, and she rapes him, conceiving a child with him, leading us to F.E.A.R. 3.
Now I'm pretty sure you've gotten pretty confused when I said "Paxton Fettel and Point Man are both Alma's sons", but that's true, Alma being a little girl isn't. You see, Alma was a little girl with every psychic ability in the book, so they thought that they could use her to make more psychic people like her. She was impregnated with DNA of some of the Armacham's project operators, including her father, and she gave birth to Point Man at 15 years old, with the next person was Paxton Fettel just one year later at 16 years old. Alma died at 26 when Armacham cut off life support to Alma, two weeks earlier. When you first see her in F.E.A.R. 2, she looks like someone that hasn't eaten in weeks, which she really hasn't, considering she was only half dead, with the psychic part of her still alive. My guess is, she got something to eat, because in the end of F.E.A.R. 2, she's now a healthy young woman.
With F.E.A.R. 3, we come 9 months after the rape of Beckett, wondering what happened to him when we come back to Point Man and Paxton Fettel, now revived with the visual effects I said before, fighting there way to Alma either to kill her or celebrate the birth of a new member of the Wade family. Well all of this sounds like it adds up to (possibly) the final game in a great trilogy of horror games, but I don't think I'll get it just because I haven't played any of the games and because it still feels kind of unknown to me. Still, if you guys at least have seen how the game plays, unlike me, then go ahead and check out this scary FPS.
