I really loved the original "F.E.A.R" game, aside from the nasty ending areas with the annoyingly repetitive ghost corridor shooting, and I've been closely following the production of its sequel, "F.E.A.R. 2," since the days when it was known simply as "Project Origin."
Anyway, the system requirements for the PC version were recently unveiled, and they seem quite modest for a modern FPS of its caliber. I imagine that most every gaming PC out there exceeds most of the minimum requirements at this point.

What do you think? Is your PC up to the task of running this sufficiently, or will you go for the PS3 or Xbox 360 version of the game instead?

Read the page, twit. "CPU: P4 2.8GHz (3.2GHz Vista)" Your cpu isn't up to scratch. It only takes an hour or so to format your hard drive, and install Windows XP in it's place. Then it would be able to run it.
