The original game dealt with one powderkeg of a psychic little girl, Alma, whose creepy psychic visions haunted your horrific trek through a well-crafted shooter.The subsequent expansion packs built out the story but were developed by different teams and went in totally different directions. Fans of the original title will be pleased to know that Monolith Studios is back in the driver’s seat, and that FEAR 2 continues the story where FEAR left off, ignoring the expansions and maintaining the same creepy vibe that we enjoyed from the original… By Dave ‘Fargo’ Kosak ..Gamespy.

It’s been six months since Bill Gates retired from Microsoft, though he remains an adviser, and the Redmond giant is chugging away as if business were usual. Work continues on Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, Windows Mobile 6.5, the Azure cloud development platform, and so on. The path looks to be unchanged. But that stability may be misleading. In its 33 years, Microsoft has extended its quest to turn every PC into a mainframe and to make Windows the center of the information and technology worlds. It’s come close, but there are strong signs that the Microsoft era, at least in the Gates mold, may be ending. That’s because the PC-centered world that Microsoft so successfully dominated may be ending.

For most of this year, Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3 videogame console seemed finally to be taking off after a slow start. The PS3, trailing Nintendo Co.’s Wii and Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360 consoles, was closing in on the No. 2 Xbox 360, with new games and quarterly sales growth at twice the speed of last year. But early results from this holiday season aren’t promising. U.S. sales of the PS3 fell 19% last month from a year earlier, while sales doubled for the Wii console and rose 8% for the Xbox 360, according to research firm NPD. Analysts say they expect PS3 sales for this month to be flat or lower than last year, while sales for its rivals are likely to rise. And Sony may not reach its goal of selling 10 million PS3 consoles in the fiscal year through March, analysts say. The sales decline is a heavy blow to Sony, which was banking on the videogame division to provide a bright spot as its core electronics business is hit by the global economic downturn. Sony in May forecast that its games division would turn a profit this fiscal year after two years of losses since launching the PS3 in 2006. Meanwhile, poor sales of television sets and digital cameras are forcing the company to lay off thousands of staff and close factories.

Online retailer Amazon.com Inc. called this holiday season its “best ever,” saying Friday that it saw a 17 percent increase in orders on its busiest day – a rare piece of good news in a season that has been far from merry for most retailers, including online businesses. Amazon customers ordered more than 6.3 million items on Dec. 15, compared with roughly 5.4 million on its peak day last year, the company said. It shipped more than 5.6 million products on its best day, a 44 percent surge over 2007, when it shipped about 3.9 million on its busiest day. Amazon’s best-sellers included the Nintendo Wii game console, Samsung’s 52-inch LCD HDTV and Apple Inc.’s iPod touch. Analysts agreed Amazon’s report was good news for the online shopping giant, but they were divided over whether the results indicate strength in online commerce in general. Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru said Amazon’s experience shows the current economy is favoring discount retailers, both online and offline. “The Amazon story doesn’t surprise me because Amazon has always traditionally been a leader on price, and they’re one of the first places consumers go when they’re looking for things online,” Mulpuru said. “In many ways they’re like the Wal-Mart of the online world.”
