FEAR: Perseus Mandate - 5/10
This is the medicore bits of FEAR stretched out over a whole game with some pretty useless aditions. The new enemies are generally copies of the old ones with more health (and a different type of rifle!) and some of the enemies from the original are implemented really badly, especially the replecant assassins. Whoever Sierra hired to do this expansion, they really suck at atmosphere. The horror elements that were great in FEAR are done really badly in this game and make no sense in the overall story (which there really isn't much of, in this game). Also, a large part of the game is about recovering a DNA sample, which glows green. WTF?
