First Encounter Assault Recon. I've heard the game was supposed to be very scary to play, so I got me a copy to try it out but it disappointed me. There were a few shockers, but after a few levels I got bored, looked up cheats, gave myself unlimited ammo because I got tired of going back and forth switching weapons and completed the whole game while waiting for the scary bits.
Maybe it's because the game's too demanding on the graphics hardware, but I just didn't feel like I was pulled into the eerie atmosphere. So far the only game that really scared me was Doom II with the Alients TC mod. Now That gave me the creeps at night and made me twitchy and wanting to run the f*ck out of there.
My advice, try it before you buy.

And we should take this seriously, why ?
SpikeTV also awarded KingKong (the game)... A game that would not be out for another two weeks... A game they said was rated -by the public-...
Anyhows, F.E.A.R. -is- an excellent game (one of the best single player games of the last years imo), but judging a game on SpikeTV's awards is ridicilous.
