F.E.A.R. 2 goes gold

January 27, 2009

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin has gone gold for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. If you’ve played the demo which is currently available, you know you are in for more scares, brutal new weapons, and a continuation on the original F.E.A.R. storyline.

The title will ship February 10.

Today, Bethesda has released the first downloadable expansion for Fallout 3.  Titled Operation: Anchorage, the pack is now available for download via Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 points ($10).

The expansion lets players liberate Anchorage, Alaska from the invading Chinese, and includes new weapons and armor.

Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 demo, available in Japan since December, has just hit U.S. shores.  The latest entry in the series is highly anticipated, not least of all due to the success of Resident Evil 4 on  the GameCube, PS2 and Wii.  RE5 marks the series’ first foray onto the PS3 and 360. 

The demo, identical to its Japanese counterpart, is now on Xbox Live and includes both single-player and cooperative modes. The PS3 demo will be available February 5.

If you try it out, be sure to comment and let us know what you think.

Kotaku has an interesting feature on racism and bigotry, an issue you may have personal experience with in online multiplayer games. Of particular interest are the comments from a psychologist, who offers up some advice on how to deal with those personalities when they rear their ignorant head.
