I was just skimming some of the AI stuff on "The AI of F.E.A.R" that was linked from this article. I remember that game was just a tad more scary just because of how smart the AI of the game was when I played it. I never knew if the game was going to do something like flank me when playing and I couldn't easily "game" the AI.

What's amazing is how elegently simple they make it seem. I guess that goes to the old saying. The more you use "simply" in a text, the harder it gets. In this case it would be the more simple you make it look, the more infinitly difficult it will be.
