I played a little bit of the original Fear for the Xbox 360 and it played well enough. What fear did was bring together horror, squad based shooting, and slow motion together to round out a decent paranormal story. The FEAR 2 Demo is now available on the PlayStation Network and The Xbox Live Marketplace and gives players a sneak peek at whats to come on February 10th.



I first noticed when playing the demo that the visuals are much improved. The Character models looked great as well as the environment. Combat seemed fluid and fun and the Slow Motion adds to the gameplay while not being a tacked on gimmick. I recommend you check it out if you get a chance. F.E.A.R 2 Project Origin Demo requires 759 MB of space.

Check out Johnny Klebitz, member of The Lost Biker gang.



"Johnny is a veteran member of The Lost, a notorious biker gang. Johnny has been creating business opportunities for The Lost in Liberty City, but his first loyalty must be to the patch he wears on his back and to Billy Grey, the club's President. However, when Billy returns from rehab hell-bent on bloodshed and debauchery, Johnny finds himself in the middle of a vicious turf war with rival gangs for control of a city torn apart by violence and corruption. Can the brotherhood survive?"

I guess we will have to find out on February 17th. I just want to know how big the download size will be for the 1st of two planned episodes. I hope my 20 gig hard drive can hold it considering I usually have one 360 game on the hard drive along with a few Live arcade and Xbox 360 demos.

I received a gift card for my birthday from one of my friends and saw a game I always thought about checking out. The Darkness is a game based of a comic book and was worked on by the same guys who created The Chronicles of Riddick Game. It is a first person shooter that contains elements from role playing games that fits together pretty well. Best part was that that game was only about 7 dollars. So if you see it somewhere, pick it up!


The Darkness is rated M for Mature for the following reasons:
Blood and Gore

- Must take breaks from main objectives to collect objects in order to progress

Although this game is titled Prince of Persia, you are not playing as the original prince from sands of time. You play as a new prince, whose original goal in the beginning of the game is to find Farah, his donkey, not Farah from the other Prince game. That all changes when you bump into Elika. Without giving too much away, you must aid Elika in her quest to heal the land that has been corrupted.


The way you go about the game is a pretty straight-forward method. You reach an area with corruption, defeat the enemies, and eventually the boss in order to heal that particular area. Once that is done, you will need to go the next the next corrupted area. You are free to go in any order or land that you want, although a few will require a power up to access certain areas. These power ups each require a certain amount of light seeds, the games main item similar to orbs in Crackdown or Stars in Mario. These seeds, 1001 in total, appear after a land has been healed. Beware if you hate collecting things: you will need around 500 to complete the game so collect as many as you can before progressing to a new land.


The game is very user friendly so anyone should have no problem picking up and running around as the prince. The primary buttons have one function each, and the combat is very simplified as well. All the fights are one on one with Elika there to help you. You can never die and when failing a jump, Elika simply uses magic to reach you and you then retry the part again. This allows more time to play in my opinion, as you aren't dying due to cheap deaths or poor platforming elements. The game has virtually no loading sequences as well so you're more likely to play longer rather than failing on choke points found in other games. This may be a turn off for some as this makes the game a breeze in terms of difficulty to play, but I found it to be ok.


The presentation of the game is very well done and is visually impressive as the game is very closely resembled to the concept art made for the game. This game is more like The Sands of time and is one that is worth picking up. Many stores have lowered the price on the game, so you may find it for a good price. Recommended play for Prince of Persia and Adventure fans alike. 4/5
