Blood does a better job with the horror genre. Doesn't matter that it's not scary. They pulled off the atmosphere beautifully.
I mean spooky carnival? C'mon.
You can compare anything to anything, regardless of the time in which they were released. It just depends entirely what criteria you're judging them on. A good example is the Star Wars movies, and their atrocious prequals.
The AI in blood worked just fine. It's true it doesn't have any complex AI, but that doesn't detract from the gameplay. It is also true that the mouse support for blood was dodgey. I managed to get it working properly on Dosbox though, and it plays just like any proper keyboard and mouse FPS. Mind you there is something to be said for cutting your teeth on FPS's that only used the keyboard..
I claim that FEAR isn't as good as Blood because I've seen the sort of quality Monolith can produce, even in this ancient game. Then I look at FEAR; which is just a generic shooter with no style to speak of. If Monolith could bring back the genius they had in Blood and incorporate it into something with modern graphics they'd actually have something worth selling.
