Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced that the official website of Project Origin is now live, offering fresh details about the videogame sequel to the hit game F.E.A.R., developed by Monolith Productions. Project Origin tells the story of an escalating paranormal crisis that threatens to destroy a major American city. At the center of the calamity is the mysterious Alma, whose rage against those who wronged her triggered a chain of events that have spiraled completely out of control. Now that she has free reign, the consequences will be unimaginable. Project Origin will be available this fall, for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
A batch of concept art and screenshots, a HD trailer, the press release along with a link to the official Project Origin website have been added at GamersHell.com.
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Whilst F.E.A.R 2 wasn’t the masterpiece I remembered from ten years ago, with its combat and level design being worse than the original, it is still a fun game that is well worth playing through today. "

PSU continues its look at the horror genre over the past 20 years on PlayStation platforms, with our latest entry looking at the tail end of the PS2 era and into a new generation with the release of the PS3. Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, Siren: Blood Curse, and F.E.A.R. are just some of the pant-wetting pleasures you'll find in part 3.

"With Halloween just around the corner, TheKoalition.com has decided to list some horror games which petrified us the most.
Please note that this list is in no particular order. Each selection has been made by individual writers who found their respective choice their most terrifying experience in gaming."
I mostly agree with those except with Alan Wake, it wasnt scary at all.
But a great list overall.
I've played all games on the list. Alan wakes was intense at certain moments not scary. Fatal Frame; I was quite young then it got me scared shit less(damn camera). The evil within was ok but Resident evil scared me more back in the day (maybe its because I got older, dont know).
As for PT? ok...I advice people NOT to use surround headsets whie playing this...Jesus... I could hear her moan behind me right on top of my ear at times and I could for the life of me turn around...mind f***
But my god does Alien Isolation raise my heart beat. When you're being chased by the xenomorph and you know you are totally defenseless against it can scare the bejesus out of you, things get worse when you realize that running for it when you encounter the beast makes things worse, yeah...
That said Silent hill 2 was scary as shit as well, especially when the Pyramid head chased you...
cant wait for this game
Looks 'bloody' good. However, I've reached my projected limit with FPS for the year considering the only FPS I'm getting this year are HAZE, R:fom2 & Killzone II.
Great stuff for lovers of the FPS genre but I seriously NEED some other genres to feed on like puzzle, RTSs, TBSs, action strategy etc cause, though I only have 3 FPS in my collection now, too many FPS seem to take a hit on my IQ.
Technically seems the same but the new locations and some other stuff look really interesting. I hope they can work things out and change the name to FEAR 2.
