This weekend I took a few hours to power through F.E.A.R. 2, the sequel to the awesome game from 2005. The reviews are mixed on what to label this game, but I just would like to chime in and say it is good. It doesn’t quite live up to what one might expect from three years’ work, but Monolith has been busy with other projects as well and that is understandable. Just about everything that matters about the game is right on the money, though. The thrills are good, the action definitely pleases, and Monolith bats it right out of the park with the ending once again. I will not spoil it, but I will say nobody can see it coming.

Also, Jen Taylor is a fine voice actress, but her voice has become a bit too recognizable by now. And I haven’t even played all the way through Halo. (Hi, Zoey!)
