I've been wondering whether to buy FEAR or FEAR2 as my first game from the FEAR series. The cost difference is about forty dollars, so I honestly want to know if FEAR2 is even better than FEAR. I've played the FEAR2 demo on Xbox360, and I really enjoy the game. (I will be buying the game for Xbox360, btw)

Play it in order, FEAR has a strong ass storyline.

I only played the FEAR2 demo, it was alright, but it didn't really show me much.

FEAR1, which I've played many times, has the most intense, epic, kickass, browntrousers first person single player I've ever played, it is excellent, everything works together to combine into a single entity of pure awesomeness, and I would recommend it highly to anyone.
Play it, it's brilliant.

FEAR 2 scared the shit out of me. I'm scared to play FEAR.
