Some places have a Men’s and Women’s bathrooms. Day 1 plays things a little differently…

Here is a short video showing the F.E.A.R. 3 booth at the E3 2010 :

So if you’re into games, last week was kind of like information overload. The console makers, the developers, the publishers- just about everyone- had some exciting news to share with everyone.

Starting everything off were several huge banners hanging in the entrance for E3. There was one right in the middle with Alma’s face on it (it’s scary seeing her much larger than you) and then two more with Point Man and Fettel (Again, it’s frightening seeing a larger than life Fettel). There were also some really cool column wraps that showcased the two brothers. It was, in my opinion, the best way to enter the expo.

WB Games was no different and they made sure F.E.A.R. 3 was front and center. WB Games had their own space full of demos and even the WB Water Tower. Within the space were theaters for public demonstrations of the key WB titles.

I’m just like everyone else. I cannot wait for F.E.A.R. 3 to launch. 

I know what you’re thinking – I get my hands on the game months before it’s released. 

However, when I’m playing it in the office I don’t get to hop onto co-op nearly as frequently as I’d like. Once F.E.A.R. 3 is unleashed upon the world I will be able to play as much as I can. And I’m telling you, I can’t wait to hop on and play with everyone else. 

Here is a list of reasons why I’m looking forward to playing Co-op. 

1) Point Man is for single player. Fettel is for Co-op. I LOVE playing as Fettel. 

2) Combat is even crazier and more intense with two people tearing up the battlefield. 

3) Some seriously awesome tactics can be used when players work together. When both players are totally in sync it’s like watching two artists go to work. 

4) It’s more fun with a buddy. Simple as that. What’s more cool than killing someone in Slo-mo? Having someone else see your amazing kill in Slo-mo. 

5) I want to experience the game in a whole new way. Fettel doesn’t go through the game the same way Point Man does. He has a completely different set of skills and play mechanics. 

6) Co-op is an excellent reason to re-experience the game. Day 1 Studios is building this game to have a ridiculous amount of replay value. Co-op offers a unique experience each time it’s played. 

7) I want to prove how much better I am at the game than my buddy. Who doesn’t like being the best? 

8) I want to play with someone even better than I am. Who doesn’t like watching someone execute the game perfectly? 

9) I want to make new friends. What better way to bond with a stranger than racking up Slo-mo death kills together? 

10) More excuses for re-playing the game. Replayability is something Day 1 is putting a lot of love into. 

11) New paths – Fettel traverses the levels completely differently than Point Man does. I want to explore!

As the E3 is about to start, here is a brand new F.E.A.R. 3 trailer :

Horror games have been around for a while and they’ve all scared us in different ways. Whether its things jumping at you, navigating the dark, or constantly running out of ammunition, games have a way of making us jump.

My number one horror moment is in F.E.A.R. At some point you enter a room and pull a switch. As you go to leave the elevator is open, the lights are off outside, and Alma is standing in the middle of the room. I did not want to leave the comfort of the little closet because who in their right mind would want to face Alma?

My number two horror moment is in Resident Evil when the dog jumps through the window. If you don’t agree or know what I’m talking about, you’re too young to appreciate things.

Head over the comments to discuss your favorite F.E.A.R. and other horror video game moments.

With the most recent F.E.A.R. 3 trailer shedding some light on the Fettel aspects of the game, it only brings me to ask more questions of what’s going on.

That soldier was not only helping Point Man, his eyes were glowing. Why?
It’s pretty explicit that Fettel can jump from body to body and use soldiers like puppets. This seems like it would give a pretty great tactical advantage.

What else can he do?
In addition to possession, he could levitate soldiers. It’s clear there’s more, but the trailer doesn’t show all of it.

So wait… what does this mean for Co-op?
Point Man has the ability to use slo-mo. Fettel can suspend enemies and make them the perfect target for Point Man. Additionally, Fettel can possess enemies and gain strategic advantages through good decisions. Point Man and Fettel have unique powers that seem to complement each other quite well.

In the true spirit of F.E.A.R. 3 being a trilogy, a third trailer has been released.  This one focuses on a certain sharp tongued, ethereal, younger brother.  To see him in action, head over to gamespot. 

You will see that Fettel’s philosophy on combat is a little... different than others.

The second trailer didn’t just have some great gun fights and cool explosions, there were also some substantial gameplay clips. So let’s see what kinds of answers we can derive from them.

Point Man looked pretty well armed. How well armed?
I spotted a machine gun, a badass knife, a pistol, and a sniper rifle.

What were those soldiers doing to that man?
He was tied up and being dragged. Was it something that happened to Point Man after the crash? Did it have anything to do with Foxtrot 813?

Point Man got blurry, which means…
He’s got his old tricks up his sleeves. It was nice to see slo-mo from the soldier’s point of view, though. Now we can relate to what’s going through their heads when they run into Point Man.

It seems like there was a new location, maybe a couple.
The one that was distinct was at night, raining, and had some airplanes in shot. This game is going to be taking place in some rather varied environments.
