F.E.A.R. & Battlefield 2

Instead of my ritualistic weekend of playing World of Warcraft till the wee hours of the morning, I decided to download 2 games that are soon coming out. F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Response Recon) and Battlefield 2. After playing World of Warcraft for almost 4 months it's hard to find a game that holds my attention as much as WoW has. That said I was pleasantly surprised to discover that both of these games were actually fun. I did not play either for a very long period of time but first reaction was good. Battlefield 2 does everything that 1942 and Vietnam titles did and more. The graphics were great and the gameplay was better. You've got to have more than just graphics to impress me and Battlefield 2's gameplay was awesome. My video card could not handle playing at high settings (5900FX) but at the medium settings it still looked great and played well. F.E.A.R. was a completely different feel than Battlefield. It is pure mayhem. My video card just plain sucked at high settings, and barely worked at medium. I had to play the game at 800x60032bit - which, by the way, I am embarrassed to admit. The game is a FP shooter but unlike Battlefield 2 which involves strategy and planning this game is a lightning fast fragfest. I can't count the number of times I died - I thought I was pretty good at FPS games, I have a pretty quick reflexes, but these guys I played against just totally wasted me. I can't imagine how good this game looks on a newer video card, but it's got to look good. Made me wish I had $500 lying around, but then again if I did would I really spend it on a video card? Probably not. Anyway I digress - my initial thoughts on Battlefield 2 are that I will be getting it when it comes out. Will I be buying F.E.A.R.? Possibly. That's all for now. PEACE!
