It spits out steel spikes that can pin enemies to the floor, walls, or each other. It has some of the most memorable weapons in any shooter, of which the best is the 10mm HV Penetrator, also known as the stake gun. A slow-mo toggle just makes it all the more dramatic, and no game since has made me feel as much like an action movie star (it’s how we imagine the Matrix video game should have turned out). Gunfights are cinematic spectacles, with smoke trailing bullets, windows, and walls disintegrating around you and grenades sending bodies flying. (and its two sequels) is best when you play it as a pure shooter. It was billed as a cerebral sci-fi horror game, but F.E.A.R.
