Just yesterday we went out shopping, which is what we love to do, and bought ourselves each a copy of F.E.A.R. For those that don’t know, FEAR is a Playstation game and we have been hanging out for it for a couple of months now and finally it shows up in the shops.
As you have probably already read in previous posts both Wanda and I went out and each bought ourselves a PS3. We also both have a Wii and a Nintendo DS and a Nintendo Gamecube. Many think this is odd since we are both over 40 and still playing games but at this age we really don’t care anymore and just want to have fun and playing games is fun for us.
When we went in to buy the PS3’s on the day they came out it was just us two and what looked like a husband and wife buying them. The husband and wife looked like they were in their 50’s and the shop assistants thought we were all there buying for our kids. Forget the kids….we were all buying for ourselves!!! Is this the time to be selfish??….damn right!!
So anyway, back to FEAR. Heading back after shopping to drop Wanda off at her place we set the game up to have a quick play. They guy at Myer where we had bought our PS3’s had mentioned that this was one scary game and I thought at the time ‘how scary can a game be?’ but I can see what he meant. The game has a spookiness about it. It’s like watching a scary movie – a bit like The Ring.
As soon as I got home I set up the game on my PS3 and managed to get up to the same level as Wanda. At the moment we are both having troubles with the Up and Down controls especially when shooting which is why we keep getting killed but I think that is just a matter of practice.
So far it looks like it will be a great game but I am sure one of us will post future updates as we go through it.
You have a real snazzy look to your blog!!! I still like to game, although I download them…I’ve got a a decade plus on you so don’t feel bad!
