It's quite common these days to see first person shooters originally designed or planned for the PC come across to the top consoles. Typically the PC FPS is a genre where PC gaming is at its most technically impressive, so hardware conditions in previous console generations were not usually well suited to keep up with the latest PC shooters, and while this will very likely remain true soon enough as PC gaming develops further, right now the 360 and PS3 are doing a pretty good job with many of the latest and greatest shooters. One such original PC FPS which managed to bridge across to the console world well was F.E.A.R. Although it saw release on the 360 a full year after the PC, the horror based action shooting gameplay translated effectively from mouse to gamepad, creating a new fan base for the series. While the PC fan base has been treated to two expansion packs since release, the newer Xbox 360 fan base has only the one original release to go off - until now that is. Sierra Entertainment and developers Monolith have recently released a new Xbox 360 title known as F.E.A.R. Files, which combines both the aforementioned two PC expansion packs. Gamers can expect the same spooky shooting action, but unfortunately not much more.
