Greedy Raven writes, "Recent years have shown an evolution within the horror genre. Back in the old days, horror games such as Resident Evil relied on quirky camera angles and slightly quirky game mechanics to scare the pants off of any gamers brave enough to attempt them.

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.
I wasn't too big on FEAR.. but after looking more into part 2 I might go back and check out the original
That little girl is creepy
I get way too in to shooters to much enjoy the horror blend. Games are supposed to be fun, not cause sleep disorders.
I'll pick it up in a couple of months. I have to save for Killzone 2 now though.
