Talking About Games:
"That serves as the appropriate wrap-up for the rest of the game: FEAR 2 is a good game, great at its brightest moments – but it isn't going to dethrone Halo 3 on Xbox Live, or make you forget about games like Gears of War 2 and Left 4 Dead. It isn't as scary as Dead Space, and it isn't the most innovative game by any means. It is simply a good sequel to a great game that brings newer and fresher ideas to the series. FEAR 2 would have been trash if it didn't implement modern elements, and besides doing that, it actually tells an interesting story. I give it a lot of credit for creating a tense atmosphere with great use of sound and visuals, providing at least a handful of very interesting and exciting moments, and having smooth and comfortable shooter gameplay. I would definitely recommend it to any fan of FEAR, and even those who enjoyed Monolith's other pride and joy, Condemned. There are bigger and better things on the horizon – Resident Evil 5, for example – but FEAR 2 is a great way to keep horror fans busy until then."

Following on the coattails of the highly successful First Encounter Assault Recon, or F.E.A.R., Monolith Soft and publisher Warner Brothers released the highly anticipated F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
Set immediately prior to the finale of Point Man’s adventure in F.E.A.R., Project Origin tasks the player, one Sergeant Becket, and his squad with the retrieval and protection of Armacham’s Genevieve Aristide. Shortly after you battle your way through her apartment complex, a mushroom cloud explosion blasts through the city, successfully incapacitating Becket. While passing in and out of consciousness, Becket sees his journey from Aristide’s apartment to a hospital bed where he hallucinates being torn asunder by demons. Upon awakening, Becket finds himself pitted against a team of special ops soldiers cleaning up Armacham’s involvement from the original F.E.A.R.
Hahahahha. But seriously, I love this friggin game. Played it from start to finish about a dozen times since it came out. I wouldn't mind a Remastered Trilogy.
Direct2Drive has given Monolith's shooter F.E.A.R. 2 a significant price cut down to $20. The title ran $35 on D2D before the cut and currently runs $50 on Steam.
