Well that's crap news. These guys have (had) been there since the beginning of modern gaming in the mid 90's. Blood 1&2's bizarre environments and black humour, then true 3d in anime-ish Shogo. AvP2 definitely put a different spin on the franchise, with more story and less balls-to-the-wall-pants-soiling action. FEAR de🦋finitely still on my list. And you forgot the inimitable Ms Cate Archer from No One Lives Forever.
