F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is today’s major game release. Perhaps you still want to know more about it even after reading our very positive review this morning? I sat down with Monolith’s Dave Matthews at a recent media event and grilled him about what they did wrong with the original game, where they hoped the sequel could improve, and why he didn’t actually slate the expansion packs after all.

F.E.A.R. 2 Now Actually Named F.E.A.R. 2
7:40AM Michael McWhertor | When we first heard that the proper sequel to horrific first-person shooter F.E.A.R. was to be christened Project Origin, a warm, immediately bored feeling washed over us. We were thankful not to have to type out all those damn periods — damn you, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.! — but lamented having another dull game title to throw on the pile. Thankfully, amid the sloughing off of Sierra brands at Activision Blizzard, Project Origin has secured its originally intended title and will be known from this day forward as F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. The official site writes that developer Monolith Productions and publisher WB Games have purchase the rights to the F.E.A.R. name, most assuredly helping its chances at retail.
