We were a bit discouraged when we checked Amazon's game deal of the day and saw that it was a paltry $10 discount on the PC version of <em>Fable 3</em>. But there are more exciting deals to be found this week (in addition to that great <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/23/spooky-savings-amazons-un-boo-lievable-halloween-sale/">Halloween sale</a>).<br />
<br />
One of the retailer's "Deals of the Week" knocks 20% off the retail price of Kinect, allowing you to get the sensor, <em>Kinect Adventures</em>, and a download of <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/child-of-eden"><em>Child of Eden</em></a> for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/s/ref=amb_link_357897902_7?ie=UTF8&amp;search-alias=videogames&amp;hidden-keywords=B005JX5IUK|B002BSA298&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-6&amp;pf_rd_r=0F2HFY24GV16E8RDJ079&amp;pf_rd_t=1401&amp;pf_rd_p=1326093902&amp;pf_rd_i=1000208101">$119.99</a>. You can also get the previous bundle, without <em>Child of Eden</em>, for the same price, if you really think you or the lucky recipient of this gift is going to hate <em>Child of Eden</em> that much.<br />
<br />
Other week-long deals include <em>Rift</em> for $9, and (easy participant of the Halloween deal) <em>FEAR 3</em> on PS3 or Xbox 360 for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rift-Pc/dp/B002I0HIC8/ref=amb_link_357897902_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-6&amp;pf_rd_r=0F2HFY24GV16E8RDJ079&amp;pf_rd_t=1401&amp;pf_rd_p=1326093902&amp;pf_rd_i=1000208101">$28</a>.<br />
<br />
Update: <a href="http://dealzon.com/deals/kinect-for-xbox-360-and-kinect-bundles#xbox-360-kinect-sensor-bonus">Dealzon</a> pointed out that it's currently <a href="http://www.buy.com/prod/224128419.html">$107.24</a> at buy.com -- and, if you go through Buy's eBay site, it's <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kinect-Sensor-w--Kinect-Adventures-%26-Child-of-Eden/150681037990">$99.99</a>.]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/24/grab-a-kinect-with-child-of-eden-for-120-at-amazon/">Grab a Kinect (with Child of Eden!) for $120 at Amazon (update: $100 through buy.com)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 24 Oct 2011 10:50:00 EST.

Amazon has dropped a selection of Lightning Deals on us, and while we can't be 100% sure of the identities of all the mystery deals (and less sure of the prices) it looks like there's enough stuff in there that you'll want to keep an Amazon window open, and an alarm clock set.<br />
<br />
Right now, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003GSKR0G?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER"><em>F.E.A.R. 3</em></a> is $20 on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Upcoming discounts include <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/grand-theft-auto-4"><em>GTA IV</em></a>, <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/mortal-kombat-2011"><em>Mortal Kombat</em></a>, and what is likely <em><a href="http://joystiq.com/game/no-more-heroes-heroes-paradise">No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise</a>.</em> To round out the deal while flattening your tummy, the ongoing Deal of the Day is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=xs_gb_A2ZO797G8K454K?ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1000208101&amp;pf_rd_p=441937901&amp;pf_rd_s=right-1&amp;pf_rd_t=701&amp;pf_rd_i=20&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=19Z43KVCY3SRDEQM19HG"><em>Zumba Fitness</em></a> for Wii or Xbox 360.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/20/s-a-v-3-on-games-all-day-with-amazon-lightning-deals/">S.A.V.3. on games all day with Amazon Lightning Deals</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:15:00 EST.

Rarely do hardcore gun enthusiasts and A/V nerds have anything in common, but when they do, <strike>they drink Dos Equis</strike> it's a beautiful thing. "The Sounds of Combat," a <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/fear-3"><em>F.E.A.R. 3</em></a> behind-the-scenes video, shows how the dudes at Day 1 Studios recorded audio from a range of firearms, including a Smith &amp; Wesson 500 Magnum to a .50 caliber Barrett Machine Gun, all with a set of fancy microphones. If Alma didn't scare you enough, maybe the recoil on some of these beasts will.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/17/fear-3-video-shows-off-some-high-powered-sound-recording/">FEAR 3 video shows off some high-powered sound recording</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 17 Jul 2011 17:45:00 EST.

<em>Zumba Fitness</em> has maintained the top spot on the UK charts for three straight weeks, with <a href="http://www.chart-track.co.uk/?i=1124&amp;s=1111">Chart-Track</a> prognosticating the title has "a good chance of holding on for a few more weeks yet." The workout dance game has reached the top spot in the UK a total of six times and -- here's the mind blowing part -- last week beat the sales of the games in spots two through five <em>combined</em>, despite <em>Zumba</em> experiencing a 5 percent drop in sales. We know this time is "quiet" in terms of sales, but this is just getting seriously awkward.<br />
<br />
With the completion of Wimbledon 2011, two tennis titles racketed up some sales. <em>Virtua Tennis 4</em> stormed the court, moving up 15 spots into the fifth seat, while <em>Top Spin 4</em> jumped two spots into eigth.<br />

Last week's debut titles to crack the top 40 were Capcom's <em>Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D</em> and THQ's UFC Personal Trainer, at spots 21 and 22, respectively. Check out the UK's top ten games after the break.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/04/zumba-fitness-manages-chart-topping-hat-trick-in-uk/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Zumba Fitness manages chart-topping hat trick in UK</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/04/zumba-fitness-manages-chart-topping-hat-trick-in-uk/">Zumba Fitness manages chart-topping hat trick in UK</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 04 Jul 2011 09:00:00 EST.

It seems that 505 Games' <em>Zumba Fitness</em> motion game is destined to occupy every living room in the UK, as it was the UK's highest selling title last week -- even after 31 weeks of availability. Regaining a place in the top five, Rockstar's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/la-noire"><em>LA Noire</em></a> took second place, though it saw a 15 percent dip in sales.<br />
<br />
Here's where things get really depressing: Suda 51 and Shinji Mikami's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/21/shadows-of-the-damned-review/">excellent</a> <em>Shadows of the Damned</em> debuted on the charts at number 31, beaten not only by the likes of recently released <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/10/duke-nukem-forever-review-fail-to-the-king-baby/">stinkfest</a> <em>Duke Nukem Forever</em>, but even older titles like <em>Art Academy</em> and <em>EA Sports Active 2</em>. <em>FEAR 3</em> faced a starkly different reception, landing the number three spot just below LA Noire. We're not mad, UK readers and EA marketers -- just, ya know, <em>disappointed</em>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/27/zumba-fitness-stays-atop-uk-charts-for-fifth-week-la-noire-brin/">Zumba Fitness stays atop UK charts for fifth week, LA Noire brings up second place</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 27 Jun 2011 08:45:00 EST.

It must be extremely difficult to truly scare a person who <em>wants</em> to be scared. Sure, at a mechanical level, fear is an involuntary reaction to the perception of threat -- but it's hard to upgrade fear to deep, inexorable terror without the element of surprise. <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/fear-3"><em>FEAR 3</em></a>'s capacity for terror has been telegraphed by two predecessors, executive credits for acclaimed horror-makers John Carpenter and Steve Niles ... and also, <em>the game has "fear" in the title</em>. With a combination like that, fear shouldn't just be feared -- it should be expected.<br />
<br />
The most surprising thing about <em>FEAR 3</em>, however, is that those scares never come. For better and for worse, the franchise's latest outing has eschewed the horror classification in favor of a more action-packed, score-centric experience.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/fear-3-multiplayer/">FEAR 3 (multiplayer)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/fear-3-multiplayer/#4054652"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/04/fear3multiplayercontractionscommutecultistswarm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/fear-3-multiplayer/#4054653"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/04/fear3multiplayercontractionscommutefightingcultists_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/fear-3-multiplayer/#4054654"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/04/fear3multiplayercontractionscommuterampbattle_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/fear-3-multiplayer/#4054655"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/04/fear3multiplayerfnrarmacham_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/fear-3-multiplayer/#4054656"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/04/fear3multiplayerfnrscincomingwall04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/23/fear-3-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>FEAR 3 review: Scores, not scares</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/23/fear-3-review/">FEAR 3 review: Scores, not scares</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:45:00 EST.

The latest trailer for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/fear-3"><em>Fear 3</em></a>, which shows off the game's "Contractions" co-op multiplayer survival mode, makes us more unsettled than the trailers that preceded it.

Fear and surprise go hand in hand sometimes, so imagine our <em>fearprise</em> (surprear?) when we heard that <em>FEAR 3's</em> release had been pushed back a month in the UK. Originally <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/23/fear-3-set-to-spook-the-uk-on-may-27/">set to launch</a> on May 27, the game will now debut on June 24 in the UK, Warner Bros. revealed to <a href="http://www.videogamer.com/news/fear_3_now_out_june_24.html">Videogamer</a>. No exact reason for the latest delay was provided.<br />
<br />
In January, the game was <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/12/fear-3-delayed/">pushed</a> from March to May, but no specific date was announced. We contacted Warner Bros. and was told the game is now on pace to ship in the US on June 21.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/fear-3"><em>FEAR 3</em></a> revolves around brothers Point Man and Paxton Fettel, sons of <em>FEAR </em>cover girl and downright creep-o, Alma. The third entry in the series features <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/14/fear-3-co-op-trailer-shows-a-slight-imbalance/">a "divergent co-op" experience</a> and a plethora of multiplayer modes, which we <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/14/fear-3-multiplayer-preview/">previewed</a> earlier this month.<br />

<em>FEAR 3</em> will feature four multiplayer gametypes, each an isolated mode largely dissimilar to the others. We already got <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/15/fear-3-preview/">a look at</a> the aptly named "F**king Run!" scenario during PAX East, and at a recent preview event I got my hands on the three other modes, as well as a second take of F**king Run.<br />
<br />
What Day 1 Studios has done with the multiplayer component of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/fear-3"><em>FEAR 3</em></a> is employ an "everything but the kitchen sink" philosophy. The various modes offer widely varying experiences -- including deathmatch-type competition, co-operative play and scenarios that combine the two. This variety would seem to offer alternatives for players that get bored with any one mode, but with the exception of F**king Run, I didn't find any of the gametypes to be particularly unique or exciting. The alternatives, then, seem to be a bit limited.<br />

If you're a horror game enthusiast living in the United Kingdom, you may want to spend the next couple of months avoiding any circumstances that may frighten you. Warner Bros. just announced that <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/fear-3"><em>FEAR 3</em></a> is set to launch in your territory on May 27, meaning you've only got a little over nine weeks to store up all of your body's natural terror juices before playing through FEAR 3's titularly appropriate, spooky campaign.<br />

Us Statesiders are also curious about how long we've got to prepare for all the phantasmagoria -- we've contacted Warner Bros. for an update on the game's North American release date.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/23/fear-3-set-to-spook-the-uk-on-may-27/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>FEAR 3 set to spook the UK on May 27</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/23/fear-3-set-to-spook-the-uk-on-may-27/">FEAR 3 set to spook the UK on May 27</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 23 Mar 2011 11:30:00 EST.

It's always a good sign when a representative for a game developer who's leading you through a demo tells you, "No, that's not an in-house nickname -- that's what this game mode is <em>actually</em> called." The gametype in question is <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/fear-3"><em>FEAR 3</em></a>'s "F***ing Run" (its <em>actual</em> moniker), a four-player cooperative mode that sends players down streets and alleys filled with enemies, whom they must mow down as they race from checkpoint to checkpoint.<br />
<br />
That would sound like a fairly uninspired experience, if it weren't for the gigantic, horrifying innovation Day 1 Studios has thrown in the mix: The Wall of Death. As the players shoot their way through the crowd, a towering black cloud pursues them, gobbling up any and all stragglers who rely on the safety of cover for too long.<br />

Why is <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/fear-3"><em>FEAR 3</em></a> so damn scary? Well, the obvious answer is "because of all the blood and monsters and stuff," but the latest behind-the-scenes video shows that there's a little more to it than that. Well, a lot more to it than that, actually. Like, a whole <em>universe of stuff</em> to it than that.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/26/fear-3-behind-the-scenes-shows-where-the-spooky-comes-from/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>FEAR 3 behind-the-scenes shows where the spooky comes from</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/26/fear-3-behind-the-scenes-shows-where-the-spooky-comes-from/">FEAR 3 behind-the-scenes shows where the spooky comes from</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 26 Feb 2011 06:00:00 EST.

The frugal folks at Thrifty Nerd have informed Joystiq that Amazon has upgraded some of its pre-order deals; specifically, pre-ordering <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/bulletstorm"><em>Bulletstorm</em></a>, <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/top-spin-4"><em>Top Spin 4</em></a> or <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/killzone-3"><em>Killzone 3</em></a> will now snag you a $20 credit instead of $10. The credit <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/amazongames/status/38399936064258048">will be applied</a> to all <em>Bulletstorm</em> pre-orders regardless of when they were placed, so don't worry if you pre-ordered before the deal went into effect.<br />
<br />
Thrifty Nerd notes further that both <em>Gears of War 3</em> and <em>FEAR 3</em> pre-orders are good for a $20 credit, and there are a number of $10 credits available as well. Check out Thrifty Nerd's <a href="http://thriftynerd.com/pre-order-credits/">pre-order credits</a> page for all the deals.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/18/killzone-3-and-other-pre-orders-net-20-credit-on-amazon/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Killzone 3 &amp; other pre-orders net $20 credit on Amazon</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/18/killzone-3-and-other-pre-orders-net-20-credit-on-amazon/">Killzone 3 &amp; other pre-orders net $20 credit on Amazon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 18 Feb 2011 17:40:00 EST.

Paxton Fettel won't be reserved solely for co-op in <em><a href="http://joystiq.com/game/fear-3">FEAR 3</a></em>, as a new trailer reveals he will also be playable in the solo campaign. Once a level is beaten with protagonist Point Man, it will then be playable by Fettel, who can use his powers to defeat enemies -- by which we mean <em>make them explode</em>.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/15/paxton-fettel-playable-in-fear-3-single-player-kind-of-a-jerk/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Paxton Fettel playable in FEAR 3 single player, kind of a jerk</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/15/paxton-fettel-playable-in-fear-3-single-player-kind-of-a-jerk/">Paxton Fettel playable in FEAR 3 single player, kind of a jerk</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 15 Feb 2011 01:00:00 EST.

The <em>real</em> bonus is something more intangible: <em>a lifetime of nightmares</em>. See, the Collector's Edition also includes a pregnant Alma figurine, and <em>of course</em> it glows in the dark.<br />
<br />
The <em>F.E.A.R. 3</em> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/F3AROfficial">YouTube channel</a> shows the Collector's Edition listed for several European countries. (We've contacted Warner Bros. to find out if it's also headed to North America, though we're not sure we actually want to know.) There's a video of ... the thing after the break. Please, please don't watch it.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/13/fear-3-collectors-edition-includes-pregnant-alma-figure-abject/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>FEAR 3 Collector's Edition includes pregnant Alma figure, abject terror</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/13/fear-3-collectors-edition-includes-pregnant-alma-figure-abject/">FEAR 3 Collector's Edition includes pregnant Alma figure, abject terror</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 13 Jan 2011 11:30:00 EST.

Looks like <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Fear-3/"><em>F.E.A.R. 3</em></a> needs a few more months of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/17/seen-e3-one-ugly-mother/">gestation</a>. Previously announced for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/29/fear-3-release-date-march-22-2011/">March 22, 2011</a>, Joystiq has confirmed with a Warner Bros. representative that those looking for supernatural pregnancy scares will have to wait until May. So far, <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=5163A234D34BF33A5382327A621D3461.bbolsp-app05-10?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&amp;_dynSessConf=-6009603809256944067&amp;id=pcat17071&amp;type=page&amp;st=fear+3&amp;sc=Global&amp;cp=1&amp;nrp=15&amp;sp=&amp;qp=&amp;list=n&amp;iht=y&amp;usc=All+Categories&amp;ks=960">Best Buy</a> is the only major retailer reflecting the change.<br />
<br />
We want to make sure we're prepared for those earth-shattering Alma contractions, but WBIE isn't currently sharing a more specific due date.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/12/fear-3-delayed/">F.E.A.R. 3 delayed until May</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 12 Jan 2011 11:15:00 EST.

In an effort to appease all of its retail partners while simultaneously inconveniencing fans, Warner Bros. this morning detailed <em>F.E.A.R. 3</em><em>'s</em> pre-order bonuses -- different and exclusive to three separate retailers -- alongside announcing the game's official release date: March 22, 2011. Best Buy and GameStop pre-orders will pack the Shredder and the Hammer weapons, respectively, while Amazon pre-orders get a 12-page <em>Fear</em>-based comic book.<br />
<br />
The Shredder is described as "a sidearm specially developed by Armacham Technologies for their elite guard as an effective way to stop experimental super soldiers that have gone rouge," while the Hammer is said to be "Fettel's original sidearm which was lost when he was killed by his brother, Point Man." And though the new trailer after the break doesn't feature either weapon in action, it <em>does</em> feature a creepy, backwards walking humanoid thing <em>just in time</em> for Halloween.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/29/fear-3-release-date-march-22-2011/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>F.E.A.R. 3 set to terrorize March 22, pre-order items detailed</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/29/fear-3-release-date-march-22-2011/">F.E.A.R. 3 set to terrorize March 22, pre-order items detailed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:50:00 EST.

We say this because with this latest trailer, Warner Bros. Interactive seems to have finally divined a winning formula. The E3 trailer above is everything we'd hope for in a trailer: There's ample quantities of dudes getting shot in slow-mo, along with equal amounts of bad boy Paxton Fettel 'sploding chumps <em>with his mind</em>.

So it looks like the team at Warner Bros is sticking with the live-action ads for <a href="http://joystiq.com/tag/fear-3"><em>F.E.A.R. 3</em></a>. Apparently it's just a <em>thing</em> it's doing, so you'd best get used to it. <em>Anyway</em>, the latest trailer for <em>F.E.A.R.3 </em>is all about telekinetic bad boy, Paxton Fettel. The actual gameplay segments of the trailer show off some of Fettel's abilities, including telepathic control of enemy soldiers. He can also lift soldiers in the air, making them easy targets for <em>F.E.A.R.</em>'s perennial protagonist, Point Man.<br />
<br />
He also glows a really pretty orange. After all, there's no reason to murder hapless goons without a little flair, is there?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/28/video-fear-3s-paxton-fettel-kills-things-with-his-mind/">Video: FEAR 3's Paxton Fettel kills things with his mind</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 28 May 2010 20:00:00 EST.

Interactive Entertainment,<br />
<br />
Look, we get what you're trying to do here with this <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/fear-3"><em>F.E.A.R. 3</em></a> trailer, but you aren't getting the desired result. The live-action portions don't make the world more believable -- in fact, they do the complete opposite. It just comes off as hokey and low-budget. Did you really watch this before sending it out? Bush league, guys. <br />
<br />
The gameplay portions of the trailer, however, are more our speed. There's slow-mo gunplay, creepy monsters and plenty of that wonderful ragdoll physics we've grown to love. That's the winning formula! Please keep that in mind for next time.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />

<br />
Of all the shouldn't-have-kids candidates, you'd think demon women would be at the top of the list. Alas, having already given birth to <em>F.E.A.R.</em> characters Point Man and Paxton Fettel, Alma is pregnant again and set to have her <em>third</em> child in <a href="http://joystiq.com/tag/fear-3"><em>F.E.A.R. 3</em></a>.

Hot on the heels of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/24/rumor-f-e-a-r-3-to-be-revealed-by-spanish-magazine-as-f-3-a-r/">rumors of a new title in the first-person franchise</a>, Warner Bros. has <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&amp;newsId=20100408005463&amp;newsLang=en">made <em>F.E.A.R. 3</em> official</a>. The shooter is scheduled to release this fall on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Freaky devil child Alma is back once again, along with "Point Man," the protagonist from the original <em>F.E.A.R., </em>and even the villainous Paxton Fettel. While the single-player campaign tasks players with controlling Point Man once again, a new "divergent co-op" mode allows a second player to take control of Fettel. The press release also notes that <em>F.E.A.R. 3</em> will feature "an evolved cover system."<br />
<br />
<em>F.E.A.R. 3</em> is being developed by Day 1 Studios, the developer behind the console ports of the original <em>F.E.A.R.</em> as well as the more recent <em>Fracture</em>. Warner Bros. has also enlisted the help of horror director John Carpenter and writer Steve Niles (<em>30 Days of Night</em>). Niles co-wrote the script for the game, while Carpenter "provided his expertise in crafting the in-game cinematics."<br />
<br />
And yes, it's been confirmed that the game's logo is, in fact, <em>F.3.A.R</em>., officially opening the door for its inevitable sequel: <em>F.E.4.R.</em><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/08/fear-3-announced-john-carpenter-crafting-cinematics/">F.E.A.R. 3 announced, John Carpenter crafting cinematics</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 08 Apr 2010 11:51:00 EST.

Alright, folks, story time -- about five days ago, a tipster sent us the three box shots in the gallery below, claiming they were asked to take part in a survey that essentially revealed the existence of a third game in the Monolith-developed <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/fear">F.E.A.R.</a></em> series. Further, the game's title on the boxes didn't read "F.E.A.R. 3," but rather "F.3.A.R." Fast-forward four days later and one of the box shots turns up on gaming forum <a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=390998">neoGAF</a> as an image (sans box) alleged to be from an unnamed Spanish magazine, with the words "pr&oacute;ximo n&uacute;mero" ("next number" literally, or, in this case, "next issue") cascading down the left side.<br />
<br />
Normally we wouldn't tell you about any of this, except for the fact that when we contacted publisher Warner Bros. Interactive for comment, we were told by a representative, "We have no info to share at this time." While that's certainly not solid confirmation, the fact that WB didn't outright falsify the images strikes us as notable to say the least. We'll let you know if the publisher decides to be any more candid, but for now we're leaving this one firmly in the rumor bin.<br />
