| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Man I loved this game when it came out in 2005/2006.Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced today the new name - F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin for the sequel to the hit videogame F.E.A.R.  The game is being developed for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system by Monolith Productions and will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive on February 10, 2009 in North America and February 13, 2009 in Europe.
 

"The name addition builds upon the strong game recognition, which we will extend as we move forward reinventing the F.E.A.R. brand," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will continue the legacy of the original F.E.A.R. game with story and combat while adding new twists, gameplay and graphics to expand the players' experience."

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2005 smash hit game, F.E.A.R., is a blend of advanced visceral combat mixed with seamless game pacing set inside a sinister and paranormal universe that begins shortly before the ending of F.E.A.R.  A Special Forces squad is on a routine mission when the city of Auburn is rocked by a supernatural explosion.  Alma, a girl with immense power and a thirst for revenge, has unleashed her wrath upon the city and thrown it into chaos. The squad must combat enemy forces and the supernatural as they struggle to find a way to stop Alma and uncover the mysterious forces arrayed against them before it's too late.

Famous Monsters of Filmland

Anyone remember this magazine? Awesome stuff. Do any of our readers still have copies?

"His initial inspiration for Famous Monsters of Filmland was noticing that kids were staying up late to watch old Universal horror movies on TV. In his youth, kids went and saw monster movies at neighborhood theaters. But with the coming of TV, older theaters were being dismantled, leaving the movie studios with a lot of black and white movies which they sold quickly in package deals to TV stations.

He described the first issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland as having been laid-out on a living room table and financed with money loaned by his father. When the first run of 200,000 issues finally hit the stands, he was left with a mere $36.00 in his pocket. This initial run sold out in a manner of days and he realized the initial hunch he had to do it was a good one. The second run sold out just as quickly and the magazine continued to be published for the next 20 plus years."

How's your firecode?

So the time is getting close! Have you had your fire marshall walk through yet?

"Screams mean success at Terror in Orlando on International Drive, but there can be hidden dangers if the house isn't up to code.  Many attractions worked for months on safety codes. "Safety issue of fire is our No. 1 concern," Greg Davis, Vice President of the Terror in Orlando haunted house, said. "It's the fake scary. We don't want real scary here, we don't want people hurt."

So fans of this Blog....how come no one told me about this show before? Good to see Haunted Attractions getting on National TV. Check out a clip below.

 
I thought since the kids are back in school and people are back to their regular, usually boring, routines I'd give you something to think about.  Perhaps take your mind away for a few minutes while you think about what you want to do for Halloween.

In case you don't have any ideas, perhaps we can provide you with some.

If you grew up in the early 80's you'll remember a movie called Tron.  In fact I hear they may make a sequel/prequel/remake of this classic movie, so why not get a jump on everyone and dress up like this:

Tron costume

If you don't remember Tron, or just plain don't want to do Tron, perhaps another famous TV/movie character would be better?
