Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced today that the sequel to the popular first-person shooter action/horror hybrid, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, has gone gold and is on track for its previously announced February 10 release date. The game is set to ship simultaneously on the PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3.

The F.E.A.R. 2 demo was recently made publicly available across platforms on January 22. The initial reception has been mixed, especially within the PC gaming community, which feels slighted by the heavy focus that the game’s controls and interface place on gamepad compatibility. If the rumors are true (I grabbed the demo last night off Steam, but haven’t found the time to give it a shot), this would be an unfortunate case of Monolith Studios biting the hand that feeds it. If not for the success of the PC release the franchise never would have been born.

As much as I hope this game rocks my socks, it’s starting to sound like F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is going to be yet another lackluster console port. Feel free to chime in with comments if you have first-hand experience and disagree–I’d love to hear your opinions.
