So, recently a demo of Silent Hill-related Source mod - Alchemilla - has been released. Supposedly it's pretty good - I can't check it, because I'm stuck on a netbook ATM. It features no combat, though - unlike most of SH games.

Now that's a good use for the Source engine.

Looks great.....I don't see why they didn't use fixed camera's like silent hill used too.

Most likely it's easier that way. Probably Source isn't really made as an universal engine (unlike UDK/Unity), so doing a fixed camera would create additional work, assuming it's possible without going into the source code itself.

It's very possible. A few source mod games do use a third person and fixed cam at times.

By the way, started Silent Hill again. Never got far for some reason (never really had an opportunity to play it for real), but I just beat the piano puzzle in the school, so I'm further than I ever was (even if it's still early). Hopefully I actually finish it this time.

FEAR. I just remember back about 5 years ago when my friend got the game but couldn't play it because he said he might piss his pants. Called me over and and watched me play it for a couple hours but he got too freaked out. I ended up beating the game after a couple days and got both expansion packs fear2 and 3 as well. I just remember having a lot of fun with the first one and up until Extraction Point. The rest got too weird.
 
Anybody else enjoy the FEAR series?

I really like the fear games.  Fear 3 was a little weird, but I though the rest were a lot of fun.
 
I like the gameplay and they're fun games for immersion with headphones.

Yeah, I really enjoyed killing the combines. Not stupid looking monsters.

The first FEAR was excellent. Great atmosphere and just the right amount of gunplay and scares. The 2nd one had its moments (anyone remember those "experiments"?) but wasn't as scary as a whole. The 3rd one lost most of it's horror elements due to co-op. Which is kind of similar to Dead Space, but that's a whole other series...

I much prefer taking down squads of replicant soldiers/assassins/mechs with high tech weapons in the first two games to the spinning around in circles shooting demon dogs and weird zombie people with pipes in the 3rd game.
 
The FEAR FILES expansion packs (Extraction Point, Perseus Mandate) are worth playing too.  Extraction Point is the better of the two.

Exactly...piece of crap Paxton Fettel and Alma. They later ruined it for me.

Btw, only about 5 hours left till Outlast is unlocked on Steam. There's still 20% pre-purchase discount until the game is unlocked. I just can't wait.
 
edit: I played a little bit and yeah, it's pretty intense.
