GameZone writes: "The origin F.E.A.R. was creepy enough to send chills down the backs of gamers, and had enough action to keep those same gamers glued to their systems. Fans of the original eagerly awaited the second iteration of the franchise and were rewarded in February with F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin – a game that received critical acclaim while jumping off retail shelves and into the hands of gamers.
Ok, so how do you keep the second game alive and viable? Why you head down the path of downloadable content and come through with F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn, of course."

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.
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.
