I am a proud gamer. I take pride in my collection which includes games from all platforms/consoles and their games guides. I like to read through a game guide and find things that I may have missed on my first playthrough. I have used this guide when I was in a jam 3 times so it was really helpful. But if you want to save money you can find the same information on gamefaqs.com. I like to purchase the guides for my collections like I mentioned earlier--they make fun, interesting reading for gamers. Great game by the way. I love FEAR games--they are creepy/scary at times and a lot of fun to play.

As a guide goes, it's alright. There were a couple of things that bugged me though. First was the format; it didn't flow the way that it really should. It kept trying to cram the little nuances into the main guide. If they want things like that in the guide, it's perfectly fine, but I think that there should be a separate section for things like game secrets and easter eggs. The second thing that got to me was the severe lack of how to do some things. Mostly, the guide goes along the lines of "Go here, do X. Then procede to here, do Y." sometimes you may want to know HOW to do something, like how to take down a particular enemy so you don't wast a ton of ammo. Little things like that make a lot of difference.
