Got to say despite the way to dark look and slow pace i did enjoy beating the first F.E.A.R. game and hope they can pull off a good game with out the lack of light this time, maybe the demo will let us know for sure.
CVG reports the following: Warner Bros has confirmed that a single-player demo fro F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace, PC and PSN begining January 22.
Developer Monolith claims the sequel sports "second to none" enemy AI, which if you've played the first game is actually quite believable.
"The F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin demo will offer a glimpse of the action, terror and suspense of the full retail version of the game," says Warner's blurb. "Players will maneuver through bloodstained corridors and hallways from several locations in the game, as they combat through various parts of the city of Auburn , which now lays in ruin after the catastrophic explosion that rocked the finale of F.E.A.R."
The content just keeps rolling in and its to the point you just cant keep up anymore but here is the latest word on whats going to hit the market in the next few.

I am willing to bet all my MS points that over half my friends list will be on live getting the XP they deserve.
Xbox 720 is the pre-announcement accepted name for the next Xbox. Xbox 720 is by no means the name of the next system, nor is it even suggesting that there is a new system in the works even. In my mind, Microsoft has got to be working on the Xbox 720. They are slowly losing console sales and the wii is completely dominating the markets.
With an upgrade like the Xbox 720 there would be a huge boost in the Microsoft stock. The Xbox 720 will have a lot to live up too however. They will need a motion sensing system like the Wii, they need to use Blu-Ray discs, and it needs to be powerful, yet affordable. Something the PS3 was unable to master. Playstation hasn’t even profitted off of the PS3 yet. That’s not good.
Why should they update now? Well, personally the Xbox 360 is slowing down. If they came out with the best system they’d dominate the market. They already have the best online gaming system. The Xbox 720 could be a dominant system well into 2015 even. There are some photoshopped ideas of the Xbox 720, but none of them are likely legit.
Believe it or not, new systems are generally not a good thing for the companies. The PS3 loses money for Sony when they sell. They make it back in games hopefully. The Xbox 720 would require such advanced software and components that not only will it cost us a lot to purchase, the Xbox 720 will have to sell well below market value to even be close to being competition with the Wii.
To wait or be the first? That’s a tough decision for Microsoft. It could be the difference between a huge profit or lost money. What do you guys think? Should they come out with the Xbox 720 if one came out in 2009?
Well the Australian Board of Classification is at it again with there harsh standards and I'm sure it comes as no surprise to the citizens but here are the details of there latest video game hack job.
Edge-Online.com reports the following: Atari has revealed to Edge more details of the amendments made to Silent Hill Homecoming for it to be granted classification in Australia.
News emerged last week that the title had been resubmitted to the Australian Board of Classification (meaning it must have made notable changes to its content), following the board’s decision to refuse the game a MA15+ rating.
At the time, a spokesperson for the Australian board said that “Atari – on its own initiative – resubmitted the game for classification, so essentially it’s not the same game.”
Atari has since explained to Edge that the amendments made to Silent Hill Homecoming will, largely, not be related to gameplay. “The major changes to the Australian release of Silent Hill Homecoming will be made to its cut scenes,” the publisher said, “where new camera angles and techniques will be used to reduce the impact of the unclassifiable material.”
Atari adds that such changes have “only been made to some scenes, while the original storyline remains unchanged.”
The Australian board continues to find friction with publishers due to its highest classification sitting below adult age, a situation which remains a constant source of embarrassment for many politicians and ministers.
Atari added that Silent Hill Homecoming will be given an R rating in the neighbouring nation of New Zealand, and it will “remain unedited.”
For a place founded for convicts they sure do have high moral standers down there.
