You can’t really miss out on this. The Steam sale may have begun last night, but Warner’s gone into bargain mode, releasing a bundle that includes both Batman Arkham games – Asylum and City with all of its DLC – plus Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Bastion, all three FEAR games and expansions, LEGO Batman and Harry Potter Years 1-4 and Watchmen: The End is Nigh. If you want to look at it another way, you’re paying £40 for Arkham City and getting everything else free. Sound good? Go get it here.

Thanks, RPS.

Warner has announced the pricing for F.E.A.R. 2′s DLC, Reborn.

Looks like it will run you 800 Microsoft Points ($10.00/£6.80/€9.60) come September 3 for Xbox 360. PC and PS3 will also show up the same day and should run you the same.

The slow-motion deathmatch patch will also land on the same day.

Thanks, Eurogamer.

Monolith has announced via a very strange little video that FEAR 2: Project Origin will get a multiplayer update in the form of “Slow-Mo Deathmatch” for free on September 3.

The video is posted after the break courtesy of Joystiq, and it is rather interesting to say the least.

Monolith has revealed that F.E.A.R. 2 will get nice bit of single-player content in August.

Called Reborn, the campaign was revealed through a chat associate producer Lucas Myers has with IGN.

The DLC features four single-player levels with the player controlling Foxtrot 813 through its own storyline and each mission was designed to offer approximately the same play-time as the retail counterparts.

Player can expect it to land next month on PSN and XBL with new Trophies and Achievements.

No word yet on a PC release, but it is expected.

There’s a video for it posted after the jump.

Monolith has put out the the footage that was cut from the end credits of F.E.A.R. 2. You can watch it after the break.

It’s a comedy singing and dancing number and is extremely silly indeed.

Don’t believe us? Take a look.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will get a new multiplayer map pack on May 21 called “Armored Front” for PS3 and Xbox 360.

It consists of two maps, Decoy and Conductor, as well as four character heads to swap out.

Details:

• Conductor Map: Push your way out of a train yard into the vast and open-ended junction station built around a turntable. EPAs will battle their way through the ground floor, as infantry can choose to either support from below or scale the heights of the station and engage in long-range combat.

• Decoy Map: Put your skill to the test in this full-scale training ground for Replica soldiers! Once a controlled arena for combat exercises, now it is under a full-blown assault for control between Replica and ATC. Watch out for ambushes, and don’t let the pop-up target dummies fool you!

• Character Heads: Four unique heads to customize your character.

The map pack will run you 540 MS Points ($5.99) and another pack is expected sometime this summer.

Read on for the press release.

The F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin map pack, Toy Soldiers, is now available for download for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

The pack is free, and if you are a PC user, portals like Direct2Drive, Fileplanet and Steam have it at the ready.

Details:

• FullTilt: Players battle inside a retro 1970s era pinball machine “Snake Fist” style as they use flippers, targets, spinners and pop-bumpers for cover in fast paced action. The multi-level playfield and authentic sounds set the mood for destruction.

• Cockroach: Featuring a blood drenched hospital room filled with heart pounding action, players can climb up electrical cords, laboratory equipment and pill bottles in a tightly connected environment.

• Recess: Players wage mayhem from the top of a giant sandcastle to the cockpit of a toy bulldozer.

This is the first of three DLC packs to appear this summer.

Well, sort of. There’s a fair amount of twitching and blood in there, which should suit pre-modern horror fans down to the ground.

Slick, though. After the break. The Warner FPS is actually out for PC, PS3 and 360 next week.

Warner Bros. confirmed to SI today that a demo for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will be released on both the EU PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace at the end of January.

News broke earlier that the US PS3 demo would be exclusive to Qore subscribers only.

Sony has announced that the F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin demo will be available exclusively to Subscribers of Sony’s network show, Qore.

As DarkZero points out, that fact that it’s a Qore exclusive could mean Europe won’t be getting it but we’ll check with Sony today on that one.

Monolith’s F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is set for a February 13th release on PC, 360, and PS3.

According to this IGN report, Warner Bros. has had F.E.A.R. 2 successfully classified MA15+ in Australia, overturning last month’s ban and putting the title back on schedule for a February 2009 release.

Warner appealed against the ban by submitting the game to the Australian Classification Review Board, which agreed to release it with no cuts.

Almost as if the OFLC is heavy-handed and over zealous.

More through there.

Update: It’s true. See here.

Gamasutra’s reporting that F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin’s been refused classification in Australia.

The ruling effectively means the game has been banned from sale.

The OFLC’s website doesn’t show that the game’s been rated as yet: do a search and see for yourself.

The shooter sequel’s scheduled for European launch next February for PC, PS3 and 360.

Monolith’s paranormal shooter is looking sweeter by the minute, we reckon. But that’s enough about us: what do you think?

After the break.

Over at Shacknews. This video looks at the game’s story, which has always scared us witless if we’re honest. The first one was great, this one looks like it will follow suit.

Game’s out for 360, PS3 and 360 on February 10. Check it out.
