I'd say yeah, good games. The first one is probably the scariest out of the bunch and the two expansion packs to it are big games in their own right, especially by todays standards.

Prepare to quite possible need to wear a nappy though if you play using surround sound at night

lol cheers

i cant see when the offer ends though

I was looking at this and I downloaded the demo of the first FEAR to have a try but it looks like crap and runs like a dog. I know it's not my specs as it's quite an old game, is there something i'm missing?

It's all pixelated, graphics and textures missing and the frame rate is in single figures all the time, dropping to 1-2 fps in a firefight.

hmmm.........might give this a miss then.

I pay for my steam games with paypal all the time and it just takes the money straight from my bank account......There No need to transfer any money to my paypal account first..

thats what happens with us. you pay by paypal, whatever isnt in your paypal account just comes from the assigned bank account.

I downloaded the demo again this afternoon so i'll give it a whirl tonight.

As for Logitech, well, I find I hardly use the screen on the G19 anyway so i'm probably going to sell it and get a mechanical keyboard like the Steelseries 6Gv2.

The G9 is a little different - it's a nice mouse. Only mouse i've had that's better is my Habu and they're getting quite tricky to get hold of new these days.

where did you get demo from? i cant find it on steam.

cheers, downloading fear 1 and 2 demos now. will see how my system coupes with them.

cheers for the suggestion of trying the demos. played fear, ran perfect with everything maxed, but looked terrible (dated). fear 2, on the other hand, was unlayable. i mean, i could play it in theory, but the mouse didnt work. worked fine in the menus, but ingame, nothing.

Yeah, the first game does look like it's starting to show its age, though I still think that generally speaking some of the textures look rather good. Overall I prefer them to the second title's efforts.

yeh i played the demo of fear 2 on the PS3 when it first came out. but i cant get my mouse to work ingame, works fine in the menus. not sure if the full game irons this bug out or not.
