25. F.E.A.R.

Publisher: Sierra
Developer: Day 1 Studios
Released: October
Primary platform: Xbox 360
With all due respect to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, there’s absolutely plenty to fear, such as creepy little girls who can single handedly take out a squad of trained commandos. F.E.A.R. showed exactly how unsettling a first-person shooter could be, and did so without taking its players to far-flung locales Mars and Hell, as the now-classic Doom 3 did.
