FEAR 2: Project Origin will be releasing a demo on January 22nd for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. The original FEAR didn't have much variety in the environments, but the story was creepy and the AI of the enemy soldiers was excellent, making it a great FPS. I saw FEAR 2 at E3 this past year and it looks great, keeping the same AI (with even better combat maneuvers) and more environments. Fans of the first game should definitely want to check the demo out when it releases.

Great, now I'm going to have to change the site's database to reflect this change. Argh! Monolith - the original creators of FEAR - lost the rights to their game's name a while back, subsequently holding a game naming contest to find what the only official sequel to FEAR would be called. Since then, however, Monolith just received the FEAR name back, but don't want to throw away the help of the FEAR community. So today Project Origin is now officially FEAR 2: Project Origin.

Names aside, the game looked great at E3.

One of the best first-person shooters I've played of recent is FEAR. I was so enamored with the bullet-time gunplay and supernatural horror story that I went out and bought the expansion pack set for the 360 as soon as it came out. So imagine my thrill when at this year's E3 I got to checkout Monolith's sequel – Project Origin. With more open environments and tons of gun fighting action, Project Origin is set to be the true sequel every FEAR fan has been waiting for all this time.
