So I have a choice between these three on a budget of £1.90
What are your opinions towards each of these games and which should I purchase?
Never played F.E.A.R. 3.
Clear Sky is pretty good, but nothing beats Shadow Of Chernobyl.
And you talk about Bioshock 1?
Don't pick FEAR 3! unless you got a friend to play with.
I'd say STALKER Clear Sky. Bioshock comes very close.
FEAR 3 is shit, Bioshock 1 is amazing, 2 is good and 3 is kind of meh and Clear Sky was a buggy mess last time I played it but it was okay. I'd go for Bioshock 1 and/or 2
It's Bioshock 1, yeah.
So get it then. First one is amazing.
Bioshock 1 is a must play. The story and atmosphere is one of a kind.
Was about to buy Bioshock but the bloody G2A VAT thing they just added bumped it up to £2.24 when I only had £1.94
Fuck
Cheeki Breeki is your choice.
Depends really. If I have a friend to play with I would choose F.E.A.R 3.
But if I want to play Solo, Clear Sky can be made quite decent with a few mods.

Care to share which mods?
i really liked clear sky, i say go for that
-snip- sorry wrong game :(
Get System Shock 2 if possible (pretty sure goes around that price when on sale [very often]). It's Bioshock 1's predecessor and is arguably way better.
If not, go for Bioshock if you want a good, not-too-lengthy story experience and stalker for a way longer atmospheric experience.
cheeki breeki for life

You're actually lucky. Bioshock is actually a pretty overrated game. The setting and visuals are nice though.
Honestly, fear 3 looks insanely overrated, but stalker VS bioshock is an extremely tough match, but I'd go with stalker to be honest, it's quite a good experience that is very much unique in its own right, but it isn't a one of a kind game quite like bioshock.
bioshock is great, but Stalker I feel is a game that stands out from other games because it definitely plays the feeling of loneliness well.
Bioshock 2 is vastly underrated, and Bioshock 1 is definitely something any shooter fan SHOULD play.. And Stalker, it's best to play SoC, CS, and then CoP. CoP is the weakest of them I feel in some ways but the strongest in other ways, but still very solid.
If you could choose which FEAR you got, I would say 1 would be best. In it's release day it was one of the games they considered graphically superior to others and has aged pretty alright. It's the first game I've seen do blood really well and I've not seen personally any games that had "3d" gun decals.
Clear Sky is unbalanced as fuck. A shitty bandit with a sawed-off shotgun can kill you from 500 yards away with a single shot to your foot.

No, the STALKER series [I]is[/I] balanced, and that's what makes it kinda bullshit at times. Your stats are the same as the enemy's stats when it comes to health and armor and weapon damage; so as you would expect, a single shot might just end up dropping you like a sack of potatoes in dire need of viagra.
I would go with Clear Sky for all its flaws, it's the best choice you have, but Bioshock comes close.
Blowout soon
BioShock or Clear Sky, but I can't guarantee both will perform well depending on your OS.

For bandits to fall before you, one must make a sacrifice to the Zone.
I've not played any of the games but from what I've seen of gameplay vids and from reviews by friends, I'd go with BioShock.
Bioshock. Call of Pripyat is much better than the previous STALKER games.

He has a point, actually. Clear Sky (but not the other two) have some bullshit elements literally shoehorned in. The two most notable are the random chance for a shot to do no damage when you hit an enemy, and how grenades will change their trajectory in order to land near you.

The random shots not doing damage is entirely depending on the difficulty level.
If you are playing on "Master" (like you should); then it doesn't happen.
Fuck fear 3, either Bioshock or CS. Depends how linear and tight a narrative you want and how much suffering you can put up with.
I am a huge fan of the FEAR series, but FEAR3 was bad. Action scenes were nice, but the horror is so lame in that. From those options, I would take Clear sky
