F.E.A.R. Files for the Xbox 360 brings together both the PC F.E.A.R. expansion packs appearing on console for the first time ever. You can check out the official Evil Avatar review for this game right here (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40383).

And how about a quote from the review? Sure thing!

F.E.A.R. Files's problems have less to do with what's in the game so much as what it doesn't have. As it uses the same graphics engine and most of the exact same enemies, weapons, and gameplay from the original game, Files is a perfectly-preserved relic of the pinnacle of gaming from two years ago. Unfortunately, that means if you've played any highly-praised game of the past six months, this is going to seem very stale very quickly. That AI so many gamers and reviewers loved from the original F.E.A.R.? In the wake of such computer geniuses as the enemies in Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, it turns out that F.E.A.R.'s baddies are merely super-fast and absorb a lot of bullets. The insidiously creepy environment and popcorn scare story? Both are laughable when held up to the standards provided by BioShock and the single-player contents of the Half-Life 2 Orange Box collection.
