The front cover of the June issue states, "Half-Life 2 Leads The Next-Gen Shooter That'll Blow you Away!" and in the same breath also mentions Prey, FEAR and Crysis, indicating those titles may also make an appearace on Sony's next-gen console.

We already carried the rumor
back in February, but the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine is sporting a front cover and feature article about Monolith's horror/shooter F.E.A.R. coming to Xbox 360. OXM only gave a sneak peek of its front page, confirming our earlier suspicions, but no details from the actual article, or release date have been reprinted yet. An official announcement should be coming soon, and F.E.A.R. on the X360 will probably be playable at E3 so we'll bring you the latest during our week-long live coverage.

Today
Monolith confirmed that it is actively working on sequels for its creepy FPS F.E.A.R. The sequels are planned for PC and next gen consoles, but there is one little catch. They won't be called F.E.A.R. Monolith is currently developing the titles on its own, while Vivendi has the naming rights of the franchise. No details were revealed, but the new titles will continue the story where the original F.E.A.R. left off. The enraged little girl, Alma, has escaped and has been unleashed on the world. Nothing good can come from that ...

According to the rumor section in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) X360 owners could still see F.E.A.R. on Microsoft's nextgen console in 2006. Not really that much of a stretch as F.E.A.R developers Monolith have already made Condemned for the Xbox 360, which used the same engine, so technologically, it should be feasible. If it is indeed scheduled for this year, there should be an official announcement shortly.

While Doom 3 flirted with some survival horror conventions, F.E.A.R. is an outright horror FPS. Instead of just using low light conditions to build a sense of terror, F.E.A.R. goes the extra mile and has your character periodically overwhelmed with nightmarish visions of floating phantoms and seas of blood. There’s also a creepy sense of sound to
