just a quick qestion about F.E.A.R (CLOSED -> DECIDED TO KEEP ALL, THANKS)

The first 2 are really great. Including the expansions. The third one it's sort of OK i guess. Play them all.

The first one is great, plus the expansions are good enough and let you go on with the story. Second one is also good. Third is meh, but if you can coop with a friend, it can be quite fun. Anyway, play them in order!

Play them all in order, story is connected.

First one is great. It has two expansions, one is fantastic the other one feels more like a fan made mod.

Second starts too uninspired compared to the first one, but gets better later.

I loved the third one, the John Carpenter style is great. It is the only one of this series, I played more than one time.

there are two timelines.

the monolith timeline:

the Alma Interviews
F.E.A.R. 1
the Comic
the Armacham Field Guide
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn
F.E.A.R. 3

and the vivendi timeline:

the Alma Interviews
F.E.A.R. 1
F.E.A.R. Extraction Point
F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate

I own them all. I played the first one a couple years ago and enjoyed the beginning and end of the game, but found everything inbetween (about 70% of the game) to be boring. I played Extraction Point after and it wasn't much better. I haven't played any of the other games since. I'll get back to them some day, hopefully they will be more interesting.
